Hi Forefortheday,

I am definatley playing at Northenden on Sunday mate and if you want to join me for a hackaround that would be ace.

No i'm not a member but non-members can tee off between 9.30 and 11.30am, i normally aim to get out on the course for about 10.30am (although i actually get down their for about 9.00am and practice swing, chipping and putting).

Let me know if you can make it, oh its £35.

Mark you're welcome to join us mate?

Prize for the biggest (fat) divot taken and biggest sliced drive... bet i win! :D

Ok, good stuff.

Shall we say tee off at 10.00am? That should give everyone enough time to travel to Manchester (forefortheday) and enough time to finish around 1.00pm-ish (hippygilmore).

Mark i dont need a lift as the course is only up the road from me, but cheers for the offer.

Wow hold on a second mate you play off 14! Hope you dont mind some ugly golf as i play off 28 :eek:

Hi Mickey,

Yeah sounds good I'll see you there £35 is fine about the twice the price I normally pay but I bet you don't get lads drinking lager on the course!


10;00am tee off what time will you get there?

Mickey,

I'll pm you my mobile number just in case the weather is really terrible. I'm talking 20mph + winds etc not light drizzle!!!

With my swing I'm quite happy for it to get up in the air there are many many worms without heads on my course!

Yep, looks like we have a 3 ball for Sunday :D

I enjoy golf when i hit a sweet drive or pin high pitch, i hate golf when i chip out of the rough, straight into a tree and watch in dismay as the ball finally stops rolling 30 yards further back than where i started from!

I hit a lovely appoach shot today and landed about 60 yards from the green, swung a pitch only to watch the divot go further than the ball. I was incandescent with rage and thought i was going to loose the plot altogether.

Well i should be pretty easy to spot, i'll be in the swing net looking like i'm sponsored by Mizuno with bright green headphones in. All the gear and truely no idea...

I will look out for you be there about 9ish!

Going to the range Saturday for a warm up so will either be quaking in fear on the first tee or believing I can hit it like bubba!
