Well all I can say is what a cracking day. Met some more decent people, had a great time, played some good and crap golf. Thanks to my playing partners Wrighty, Metalmickie and Blademaster, , you three made the round a lot of fun. Wrighty congrats on playing some cracking golf mate.
Fish thanks for organising this I will keep a eye out for the next one, I will make sure I stay clear of the wooden spoon mate
Johnny(Fish's mate)- would like a beer or two with him at some stage as I reckon he has some cracking stories.
Will- all the best with the wedding , it was really good meeting you and I look forward to a round again at some time mate.
Cheers again .
Just home although I possibly live the closest to Tadmarton so a little later than those who have travelled but, I just had to pop into the club for 1 which turned into.......
Anyway, a huge thank you to all those that came from far and wide today in what could only be described as pure Arctic conditions!
Being 600ft high with no protection from the elements it was no surprise that all the greens were frozen solid, so for what was already a good thinking course, it became a much more tactical course to play on the day and in some very cold conditions.
The hosts being Tadmarton Heath Golf Club were exemplary, the friendliness and overall attention shown towards us throughout the booking process then through to the playing and then the service from their club staff in the bar and restaurant was second to none, I thank you all :clap:
It was great to put some more faces to names and I hope you all enjoyed the day.
Thank you to my playing partners Steve, Will & Johnny for some excellent company and golf at times

Once again thank you everyone for making another Midlands meet be so successful.
John is a character allright. He's good mates with John H.Stracey and John Conteh, in fact he got Conteh to come to the Ingom Manor opening day, along with Paul Broadhurst, who he also knows.Always have a laugh with him.His only down side is he likes Celtic!! Only joking the green half of Glasgow.Well all I can say is what a cracking day. Met some more decent people, had a great time, played some good and crap golf.

Just want to add my thanks to Fish as well for organising this. As everyone else has said: Bloody cold, nice track, great day! I'll add one point as well - that was an evil pin position on the 11th!
This was my first ever forum meet, so thanks as well to Ping, Full_throttle and Viscount17 for putting up with me today, plus everyone else I chatted to at breakfast and lunch. Hopefully I'll remember some of your names next time. Next time? Definitely, today's meet was my first but hopefully not my last
Fish, speaking of next time, if you do a day there in warmer weather when balls stand at least a chance of biting on a green I'd sign up again, Tadmarton is a course well worth another visit.
PS:
