GM Midlands Meet #1

"The reds are 800 shorter than the yellows so we'll have our work cut out if Jan is on form"

It'll have to be someone with good eyesight........:p


I'll need every extra inch, have hardly picked up a club lately.

Although suns out and am doing nothing today or tomorrow.......:lol:
 
Any update on how the course at FofA is bearing up. Assume it will be open Sunday, do we know if trolleys are on?

Just Tweeted them but looking to drop in on them tomorrow lunchtime to save me time Sunday.

Just back from Surrey after playing wacky races on the M25 & M40 for 2 hours so knackered now, especially after eating this

Might have weighed me down at the start a bit, bacon baguettes only from now on ;)
 
how did it go Robin?

My signature and post in For Sale & Wanted says it all ;)

Good but long day, tight track, thinking man's course, very wet, borderline playable, great company, great breakfast, fell in love with my new club :thup:

Knackered ZZZzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzzz
 
Just back from the Forest of Arden and its all systems go :thup:

As I drove in I didn't see any standing water anywhere!

The practice green outside the clubhouse looked very quick and dry. The 18th green looked excellent. The tee and greens around the course I am told are perfect, there will be some damp area's around the course but with another sunny, although chilly day today, it will only improve more overnight. Slight frost this morning and expected tomorrow but will be gone and perfect by the time we all tee off.

We will all meet in the Zest bar next to the pro shop for our coffee/Tea and your Bacon Roll.

You do not need to book-in or report to anyone, I have taken care of everything.

I have all the score cards and they are being written out now.

Once you have had your drink and butty, I have a range token for each person so you can warm up on the range as well as use the chipping and putting area's prior to your tee times.

There are no restrictions on trolleys at all.

It would be good to have everyone on the first tee just after 10am for group photo's ready for the first group going off at 10.16hrs.

I have a single voucher for the Zest Bar to the value of £10 per person so you can pre-book in the morning for when you get in or chose something from the menu after your game.

I'll be in the Zest from 8am to meet & greet everyone, I would suggest between 8am - 8.45am is ideal, if your are running late or are not going to be their before 9am then please let me know or I will lose the opportunity to warm up also.

Look forward to meeting you all and enjoying our Midlands meet.
 
Trolleys were on today, and tomorrows weather looks similar, maybe a bit warmer.

As long as there is no major rain fall hopefully it will be the same tomorrow. I'll ring them in the morning at 0800 and see what the status is. :thup:

No need to phone them, no rain today or in the night and as stated above, no restrictions at all.
 
can;t be bothered looking back, I assume its stableford ;)

overtime done so off up the range for 100 tee shots in prep for the 1st tomoz, even if its the only decent shot I hit all day :p

laterzzzzzz

Robin, my 4 more than likely wont be there by 8:45. We'll probably be around 9am give or take 10 minutes. If you need to be elsewhere don't wait for us, we'll find you before 10.

Do you know if they have buggies available? Hopefully won't be needed but I might have done something to my knee. Sitting here with an ice pack on it now :(

Ok, if I'm not in the Zest when you arrive, I'll be putting opposite, if your closer to 9.30 I'll be on the range. Don't forget to get your butty & drink from the Zest.

I can be at yours a tad earlier if you want fundy?

oh and I nominate a large slice off the tee for me followed by 18 holes of cackness judging by my range shenanigans just before :(
