GM Championship Scotland Central - Sunday March 29th 2015

[williamalex1]

Sounds good! Me and Turk against the big Willies.

It's been awhile since anyone said about us 2 Dicks :rofl:, we'll play for the signing on fees if you're game.

Who was the big dog in your group spanking it 260 often? Tell me it wasn't Fabbo.[/QUOTE Young Barry hits it miles , but Fabbo hit a few crackers , it's the way he tells them . :lol:

Two firsts for me today - never played Glasgow Gailes and never played in hailstones either.

I enjoyed Glasgow Gailes but wisnae such a fan of the hail. Hell of a test in that wind and 30 points is not a disgrace at this point in the year (to me, anyway). I'll need to find a short game before the season starts.

Good to meet some new faces and a pleasure to play with Kenny, Chris and Iain. Iain in particular had a great back 9 going until the 15th finished off his chances of going to Hillside.

Well done to Hobbit for what must have been a terrific 35 pts and well done to Kenny for taking nearest the pin by all of 3mm.

Hope to get some more regular Scottish meets going. Mibbes try summer next time...

 

[Farneyman]

Another cracking day on the course. Glad the showers were brief and the wind helped keep it testing to play in. Enjoyed the company and meeting some new faces.

Enjoyed the course and can imagine how hard it plays in the summer when it is dry. Some of the back tees miles back on holes.

Well done to Hobbit on a super round. Make sure you don't drink that bottle all at once

 

[turkish]

Glad you all enjoyed it and slightly annoyed I didn't see it out.... Was driving for 15 mins and rain was relentless and wind was blowing my wee car about.

Defo up for a knock at East ren when weather picks up. Playing for signing on fees seems a deal!!!

 

[Val]

Ok, first and foremost thanks to all who came today. Glasgow Gailes is a tough golf course at the best of times, granted links courses are that bit easier through the winter as the rough drops but GG has heather lined fairways so if you have a bad day off the tee then you'll know all about it. The weather was horrible, the wind was playable but stick in some rain, hailstones and its murder, we did get some blue sky and sunshine too. All that said, great day in good company.

It's only right to mention those who are far travelled especially Hobbit and davemc1 both travelling up from England, Patrick with a long journey down from Inverness, Toad from Perth and the rest of you, you know who you are and a thanks to you all.

We used to have a lot of these meets in years gone by, it's about time we kept this up so i'm going to plan on getting another organised maybe Sept/Oct ish time once the club season is about done.

Scores on the doors. (* denotes Hillside entrant)

Our overall meet was won by Hobbit with 35 points, he is our Race to Hillside regional winner.

HDID Kenny won a sleeve of balls for NTP on the 15th, must have been a good shot to a tough green.

Well done Hobbit. Glad that I inspired you to victory.

 

[upsidedown]

Well done Hobbit :thup:

 

[Jimaroid]

Really pleasurable afternoon despite mixed conditions, thanks to some good company and nice to meet more of you. Thanks again Val for organising etc.

Lovely course, hopefully get to play it again one day. I made a pretty rubbish start to my round, going OB by an inch on the 1st and then struggled with a run of fives. Glad I managed to find something resembling a golf game again on the inward nine to make a 20 point addition the 12 I'd scrambled on the way out. Pretty happy with that, had a few slim chances to do better but I could not get the pace of the greens between my head and hands to work - nothing unusual there!

I took one picture, just after 30 seconds of face-stinging hail had passed through the 18th. There was a nice pot of gold sitting the clubhouse for someone... http://www.jimaroid.co.uk/content/images/2015/Mar/IMG_1984.JPG

Nice one Val, thanks for organising, great effort.

 

[jpxpro]

Thanks for the game today guys was nice no meet you all and be made to feel very welcome.

weather wasn't too bad tbh a few rain showers which soaked u but the gale force winds soon dried us out , the hail on 18 wasn't fun tho and driving into the wind and rain was a tough challenge

overall an enjoyable round on a real top quality course, greens were a little sandy but acceptable for this time of year

well done to hobbit on an impressive 35 points if I hadn't lost 3 balls I might have challenged you


100% interested in the next event

 

[Val]

Thanks Barry.

Can I also add that I would like to thank Glasgow Gailes for the hospitality and welcome shown to us today, the pro and starter couldn't be more helpful and the staff in the clubhouse were superb. It is refreshing to get a welcome like that from the club, it's as good as I've received anywhere.

Kev, glad to have you pal and don't be a stranger as we hope to get more of these off the ground.

Thankfully my wallet was still lying on the ground in front of my car in the car park where I must have dropped it before going out to play.

 

[Jungle]

Yep, given all the weather chat on the run up it was actually ok teeing off.

As Val mentioned that little plant that flanked pretty much every fairway scuppered my opening few holes and then I steadied the ship with a nice birdie 2 at the first par 3. Then the rain, sleet, wind and then even more wind came, and being the softie I am the golf went to pot.

Course was great though and the greens were fantastic despite all the rain.

Well done Brian and thank you Val for pulling together will be up for the next outing.

 

[Farneyman]

Cheers for the coffee. :thup:

Any idea who left the skid marks on the 17th tee?:whoo:

 

[IanG]

Just arrived up in Plockton after a very enjoyable day at Glasgow Gailes. Conditions varied between hellish and heavenly several times throughout the round. The Gailes course is pretty tough with a huge premium on being straight - off the forward tees we played from that allowed hybrids off many tees but off the back tees it must be brutal. The Heather is a wee devil and gave me a spanked airse on the 16th. Enjoyed the course a lot though, especially the flat & slow greens which are a novelty for me Hope to get back there one day when the weather is better.

Thanks to my playing partners today for their good company and hopefully see some of you at the next meet.

No trouble at all Fabian.

Skidmarks? was there a heavy impression left?

 

[Farneyman]

Looked like tracks from a tank

 

[williamalex1]

Well done Brian :thup, but I'll have nightmares thinking of you, in your off the shoulder red blouse with the puffy sleeves.:rofl:
