Congratulations Phil⛳️

Having been woken up this morning at 4.28 and getting to the club at 7.05 I was quite
surprised at only being second in the car park, panic that I was going to be late again,when
will I learn.
Having watched all the forum pussys lay up before the ditch including the big hitting pussy
Liverpoolphil I decided the big dog was coming out.
It was a massive carry but I did it with ease.
Unfortunately that's where it ended all three of us had blown our chances by the 6th hole.
Great company with my dad and James[just one] thx James great fun as always.
A couple of good highlights were my dads birdie on the first and James on the 17th who
had finally got a putt to the hole.
Whoever thought the greens were quick last week is officially nuts.
Well done to Liverpoolphil on the win every time I looked ahead he was in the middle of the fairway
and unfortunately this week its my tenner going toward HFH.
Well done Homer on qualifying for Hillside a very good job well done.
That aimpoint was a pleasure to watch on the 18th a great 3 putt.
Great to see some old chums its always a pleasure to catch up,and Pieman is officially now
"Salad man" there was only half of him left.
Thx to Rich on the organization much appreciated.
Sorry couldn't hang around Dad was shattered.
See some of you next week.

many thanks to Rich and Vicky, and to Blackmoor GC for making us feel so welcome (again).

bacon rolls were amazing; bacon with flavour!!!

whilst we had an excellent and enjoyable day - others scored better well done all.

having had to dash off after an 'emergency call' to a leaking sink I even got a refund on the brownie points spent to play - result.

Rich and Vicky, as usual, organised a great meet - thanks!

Well done Homer and Liverpoolphil for their scores today!

I had the pleasure of playing with BlueinMunich (Richard), Sev112 (Steve) and Hooker (Charlie) and we had a really pleasurable round. Well, that was until Hooker insisted on swigging a drink that looked like the contents of a colostomy bag from what looked like a medical utensil!!

I was one of the woosies who didn't go for over the ditch on the first but did have to take a drop from the rope just in front of it. If I could only have bought a putt I think my 30 points would have been much nearer level par.

Strange that we only found out that Badger 57 lives only a few hundred yards from where I met Mashley this morning to give him a lift! It was great to meet up with the usual suspects and I have to say that Pieman and Imurg look really good with their diets and Philthefragger looked like an out of work postbox in his red outfit! :whoo:

Mod note .... Where did I put that Ban Hammer

Excellent day - great to see so many familiar faces, and a few new ones. Well done for organising Rich - top effort! :clap: :thup:

Firstly a huge thank you to my chauffeur Rick for driving me there and back. Much appreciated mate. I know you found it a struggle to leave out 5 sets of clubs, a suitcase of spare outfits, and half of Currys to get my bag and trolley in, but cheers again!

And then to my playing partners Phil, Steve and Sam - really enjoyed you company fellas; hope to again in the not too distant future.

Don't care who won - it wasn't me and I'm therefore not going to Hillside so couldn't care less!!!

And finally very disappointed at all those hitting irons off the 1st; you should all be ashamed of yourselves!

Sorry I couldn't hang around at the end guys

Cheers Rich for a great day - Blackmoor was in superb nick - fairways like carpets

Thanks for TXL and Vicky for the great organising

It was a pleasure to play with Sean , Nick and George - Sean hits a cracking golf ball and it was one bad hole that scuppered him - 4 birdies today was superb Sean. George hits a towering ball and Nick - the shoots of improvement where there to see

Really chuffed with my own score today - felt I played solid golf especially from the tee

Enjoy Hillside Homer.

And yes I took an Iron off the first

Must also add it was great to add some more faces to names - especially finally meeting James

 

[Smiffy]

Another great day at Blackmoor. Thanks Rich and Vicky!
Thought I was going to be in with a shout as I walked off the 9th green with 20 points under my belt. Something went a bit wonky on the back though.. 28 points with 7 blobs!!! How the heck does that happen??? 😱😱😱

Maybe the new shirt was a bit tight and constricted you!

 

[TopOfTheFlop]

Cheers for the organisation Richard. Great day, course played mighty fine, my guest thoroughly enjoyed it too! Thanks again!!!
Well done chaps on a great day!

 

[Imurg]

Excellently organised by TeamHart and TXL as usual!
Quality day with some great company and banter.
Some good golf, lots of dire golf - bunkers killed me!

And I'll echo Duncan ref. the bacon rolls - quite possibly the best ever.
Well done to the winners - said through gritted teeth.........
And I managed to play the 18th reasonably for a change!

 

[chrisd]

Sorry, I missed Anthony off my thank you's - so I hope that's now remedied

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Great day, ably organised by TXL, the Hart's and as usual Blackmoor's hospitality and course were spot on. Lovely day in great company. I managed to score without ever feeling like I was hitting my irons well, especially on the back nine but ground out the net par and odd gross one on a stroke hole. Put my worse drive of the day on the 18th tee shot and then made the schoolboy error from 76 yards of trying to go aerial when a simple running bump would do. The three putt had nothing to do with Aimpoint but more the idiot not believing the amount of break it said.

The weather was kind, the food was good and the company from all the forum members I met excellent as always. Happy days and off to work tomorrow to book my annual leave for the final

Just got back, 3hrs each way due to traffic, thought I'd started out early enough at 05.30 but it was a bit tight in the end and I forgot to grab my bacon buttie

Thanks to Rich & Vicky along with Anthony for their organising, top job

Thanks to my playing partners, we had some laughs, some growls and nearly some club throwing, although I'm sure I saw a club in the air above the bunker as I was chipping across the 10th green to the 1st green

No excuses from me, I'm not starting rounds very well, holes 6-12 were good scoring holes after a poor start only to wobble on 13 & 14 then two good pars on 16 & 17 but then I ended up in the crater on the 18th, although I came out first time 12ft from the pin, a 3-putt ensured I finished with another blob :/

Oh, I went with driver off the 1st and its a good line in from the 10th fairway

Great day, great company, great course & great hosts, just lacked a bit of golf from me.

10th fairway ?!?! Blimey - strong crosswind

Blame it on the man flu mate and bring the game along for Berkshire next wed :thup:

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

Many thanks to TXL, Richart and all for organizing a very enjoyable day, Blackmoor is fun to play and the early season greens were 'challenging'. I couldn't have had three better PP's than RickG, Midnight & Hobbitt, thank's guys good craic all day even if some of our golf wasn't quite there.

 

[Hooker]

Thanks again for a great forum meet at a fabulous course, thanks to Richard for organising it and TXL for scoring especially as he managed to conjure up a prize for me in some kind of hidden team score? Must have been for the team wooden spoon?

Thanks especially to my playing partners who made the day very enjoyable. I thought Chris was from his online persona a funny pleasant chap who is a good golfer but……............................................................................he is better! I am just sorry he could be getting banned for what can only be the words he used to describe my healthy shake.

Might have been the 18th actually, but which ever it was, I wasn't supposed to be on it, didn't go in the ditch or wimp with an iron

There was an almighty increase of wind straight into my face when I was starting

I can confirm it was the 18th - good line in from over there :thup:

And indeed credit where it's due, you didn't wimp!! :clap:

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Drive for show :thup:

I just couldn't be bothered waiting for the green to clear
