Yeah, I'm a fresh water fish, too much salt in the air has battered me good and proper, the next day was just as wet & windy when I was mapping courses, I've also been exiled to the spare room, now on the Day & Night Nurse capsules trying to drive it away, I'll need a table of my own to sit at for my meal with a large box of tissues at this rate.

So situation normal then

If these rumours of glass like greens are to be believed I might have to get there early and test the practice green out. Mind you last time that bore no resemblance to those on the course. Hitting like a fool and putting like an idiot. Stick me down for 25 points tops

So if we see someone strutting around pointing and looking a right dipstick then we'll know it's not Adam Scott ........ .

I can do that without the need for Aimpoint

You do realise we are only playing 18 holes?

Greens are nippy for March, but not glass like. You will be fine as long as you don't go on the practice green.

I was looking for a good day. OK if we have to be realistic...20

Why. Still unlike the real things? I heard rumour of a practice ground. Is there one and is it members only? Own balls or range ones?

There is a huge range which is past the 9th tee, best to drive , you will need you own balls and pick them up

Bugger .......... I've given the butler the day off as I was away playing golf so I think I'll just swing a couple of clubs for 60 seconds and that'll do for a practice!!

Wonder if I can persuade the wife to pick them up.... or act as a marker post

Can you get her to stand in the field with a baseball glove and catch the balls like the caddies of old?

Could even be combined with Aimpoint as well

I could but I'm not that accurate and she's not that light on her feet to scamper towards the ball.

Perhaps we could call it "no point"

 

[richart]

Couple of nets by the first tee, and one by the 10th. Always good enough for me.

Yep - good enough for me to lean against whilst I do a little stretch before hitting the first tee shot !

May have a quick practise putt if I feel brave

Just a shot walk down in front of the ninth, and down the path past the tee. 150 yards at most.

2 bacon rolls should be enough of a warm up for me :thup:
