GM Championship Scotland Central - Sunday March 29th 2015

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

Hope to see you at the next meet and get a chance to talk, or if you would like a game at Bellshill just let me know :cheers:.

Home safe and sound as already mentioned, thanks to Val for sorting this out and letting me try to play. :thup:

But I can't believe people are saying the weather wasn't that bad. My hands have only just stopped being blue! Havnt been that cold all winter.

great Saturday night in dreghorn with the better half and a really tough but fun afternoons golf. What better way to spend a weekend?

Cheers fellas

Well done Hobbit on your win, 35pts off 5 is very good golf in those conditions, good luck at Hillside. Val thanks for organising great course heather not to be messed with and some of the smallest bunkers I have ever seen. Thanks to Davy, Chris & Iain, great company and good golf (at times) from all. As for me started with a blob due to heather managed 17pts to the turn, poor back 9 visiting the heather too often to a lowly 12pts. Very pleased with NTP hit a proper golf shot on that one:fore: will keep an eye out for future meets. :thup:

Home mega late after a coffee stop and twice diverted for road works. My thanks to Val for his organisation, and to everyone for their warm welcome and hospitality. At least I wasn't the only sassanach, with Davemc & Patrick(Val told me to say it Patrick, honest) in attendance. Great company with Jungle and Virtuocity, and great golf played by both.

A tough course, and very tough conditions. My putting let me down badly on the day, with 37 putts but thankfully tee to green was spot on.

Very well played mate in what appears to be testing conditions - :thup:

Well I've just woken up in a hotel room in Glasgow and the stuff I had on yesterday is still wet!!

A big thanks to Martin for organising and my playing partners Jim, Paul and Kev, great company and we had a laugh despite the pretty Nasty condition s we played in . Wind was not that bad it was the driving rain and hailstones that got me. Well done Brian good shooting , and Jim 20 points on the back 9 was good going. When I saw you getting out of a car when I arrived I thought it strange , it had transformed back to your trusty burro , when we got back

The high light of the round for me was the 10th where none of us knew where our drives went or our 2nd or 3rd went either due to the driving rain and wind.

One last note, that's the worst I've played for some time with no good shots to speak of and just scrambling saving the score....

But williamalex where are you????

Patrick

He was doing fine until he had to call his Mrs and tell her to record the game. 3 holes explaining and 3 blobs later it was game over

I should give that "warming up before a round" malarky a go one day.

In retrospect that was funny but stood on the tee and looking directly into the oncoming gales of sleet is probably the most pain I've experienced playing golf yet. On the positive side, my face had a lovely spa-like glow and felt quite refreshed this morning.
