Birthday boys came 1st & 2nd...........older birthday boy just pipped younger birthday boy by 1 point despite a fighting birdie from younger birthday boy on the 18th........old git took the cash.......sitting here on the patio in the glorious sunshine supping Peronis & Carlsbergs.........Murphs new putter is nice....dont think his missus will ever see it......... C'mon EnglAND........PS

PS...Has anyone ever had to use a GPS before (or an AA routeplanner) on their own course for their second shot into a 172 yard par 3.....?
 
Fess up...... what were the point scores?

(and is Murph STILL shanking?) :p
nothing spectacular mate.....twas very windy............we all had poor front nines but good back nines.......Murph had 28, Pie man 30 and me 31.......

Course was in great nick and Murph was the perfect host..............we ended up at Paul's local for the footie.. Played darts into the small hours and i ended up staying at the in-laws.....cracking day yesterday.....
 
Sounds great, footie must have helped the bitter pill of you all getting .1 back? :whistle:

Nooooooo!........Just realised that Camberley Heath is the morning after the US Open final round........ put me down for .1 :confused:
 
Bit of a mistake going out last night.

Was supposed to watch the footy with rick and Paul. A couple of beers, and home by ten. 7.00 tee off in the morning, greensomes. Apparently I got in a 01.00, completely trolleyed. Next thing I know, the phone rings, and I have a very irate partner saying its seven o clock, we're on the tee, and where am I? In bed. Asleep. Not good. I have missed my alarm, and two previous phone calls.

Teeth cleaned, contacts in, and on the tee at 7.15. I have never got to the course so quickly. The boys out at 7.08 had gone out in front, and the pro shop were cool about me being late. Apologies all round, and off we go. But, I'm still very much worse for wear. First drive, massive block, never to be seen again. No point in even looking for it, so I take my partners drive, and fat a wedge into a green side bunker.

Second hole, I hooked my drive into a bunker, so again, I'm taking the second shot. 230, uphill, into wind. I lay up with a hybrid (you can't shank a hybrid). To 8 ft from the pin. I cannot hit my hybrid that far. Ever. Half a swing, hit it easy so my head doesn't fall off, and I have nailed it.

Junk round of golf, but at least we didn't get dq'ed.

Oops!!!.....It was Pauls fault........he's a bad influence..........I was supposed to be just driving you 2 up to the pub and then nursing a couple of diet cokes while clapping politely when England did something good.

Woke up in a strange bed before the Father in law took me to rescue my car from the pub........

What was that red wine we were drinking at one point.....it was quite tasty.....bad idea to hit the JD though......btw...how come your darts playing got better the more pissed you got?........All i remember is running round with my shirt over my head when I hit that treble 7!!:mad:
 
James hits a mean rbz 3 wood (when its not his) and holes a plethora of pressure putts when his partner is out of the hole :thup:

the rest of his game is pants tho :)

The wine was campo viejo Rioja. Very nice wine for the price. They do three types, and that was the cheapest, but still goes down well, even if you are sober.

As or the darts, I have not played for 25 years minimum, but used to be an ok player. It just takes a While to get going, and it helps to be leg less. Well, it helps me anyway.
 
I do not remember much after the red wine!! :mmm: Was up at 8, did two hours of football coaching with 6 and 7 year olds between 9.30 and 11.30 and, after picking up clubs from a surprisingly sprightly Murph, ended up at the Oxhey Village Summer Fayre all afternoon........where I was in a team which won the tug of war competition! Then out for curry and more beers yesterday evening. Feeling a bit tired today :whoo:

Fantastic day on Friday - brilliant way to spend a birthday!

And I think I will wear my golf shoes to the pub more often - especially the grip they provide on the oche!! :whoo:
