I went and practised lol, last about 20 minutes hitting balls before going in for a coffee, then decided to play a few holes, lasted 6 holes then back in for coffee and some food, didnt make it out for a 3rd time

Plan for tomorrow pretty much involves wearing every item of golf clothing in my wardrobe and hoping that keeps me warm enough, looks like its definitely gonna be a 2 hat day :p
 
Just played 5 holes after work tonight, 1 degree with added windchill, about the same as forecast for tomorrow. Really felt the cold in my fingers until I put the mitts on. Pain in the butt having to keep taking them off to play shots. Still, cold is better than wet.

See you all tomorrow.
 
Just got in from doing the weekly shop, it's f-f-f-f-f-freezing out there.

But it's not snowing. :)

Really looking forward to it now.
Had a good look on Google Maps as is my norm when playing a new course, it took me ages to work out which holes were which! :confused:
 
HID's just caught me trying a pair of her tights on, I always wore a pair in combat training, really warm.

If you ask nicely tomorrow I'll give you a flash ;)

You 2 need to exchange phone numbers as relying on here to catch each other this late is just plain daft.

Southampton to Banbury I make 1 3/4 hours less than 100 miles so I'd play safe personally and allow for 2 hours.
 
Thanks , have replied on here in PM and texted you as well , Fish , make sure you ring the course to turn on the central heating to warm up the course lol , finished work at 7.10 tonight and walk up the car park to drive to the range to hit balls as not played for a bit , that wind was as cold as it was in birmingham earlier today , got in my car and drove home Brrrrrr , see everyone in the morning , at least its dry hmmmm
 
Overcast so no frost but Brrrr cold.

Hope all the layers still allow me a decent knock, see you all soon ;)
 
BBC weather says that the sun will show its face around 9.00 and that the temperature will rise to a balmy 1 degree around midday, all that worry over nothing.

See you al there!
 
Just got home. Yet another great forum meet despite the bitter cold, great venue in great condition just a shame that the frost got into the greens overnight :( Many thanks to Robin for organising again (and his company on the course) and as well to Will and John, great to meet and play with you guys and well done to Nick and the others in the prizes
 
Just back here too, now sitting with a cup of hot tea.

Great course, just a shame the frost got into my fingers, that's my excuse for 7 (seven) on the front nine and 14 back for a paltry 21 points.
Thanks to Robin for the organsing and smooth running and to playing partners Mark, Lloyd and Paul, we had a few laughs as a group as well as a prize winner!
 
Thanks Robin for a great day, shame you couldn't do much about the cold..

Congratulations to the winners and a big thanks to my playing partners for the day viscount17, ping and oxfordcomma.

Finished the front nine with 18 points then went on to score 11 more,

Always a pleasure to meet new faces from the forum.
 
was thinking of you lot earlier working in the underground network, freezing cold and caked in crap.. would rather be playing golf in the cold.

Glad you all had a good albeit cold day. So who won then?
