Re: Hayling mini meet - Sunday 23rd March @1:30

Not long back from this mini meet. Thanks to Gordon and Simon for signing us all in.

Gordon for being the guide around his lovely course. Some good golf was played by all and some bad stuff.
I'll leave the highlights to be mentioned by others.
Thanks to Paul, Gordon and George for puting up with my comments every hole about my putting :putt:

The curry was pretty decent as well :thup:

No worries Simon - glad you enjoyed and well played to come in with 34 points and take money in that wind. With my current inability to play the game and you seeming to be playing well I'm a getting a bit worried about our HfH bet already!

Cheers to Nick and Steve for the company - as above we all played some good and some bad stuff although far too much of the latter for me. Still good fun though and a bit of the sea air soon meant my hangover improved.

Shame I couldn't come for the curry although I didn't 100% miss out as I got home to find the Mrs had left the oven door ajar so dinner wasn't cooked and we had to order....curry:D

thanks Gordon & Simon for hosting us. Hayling was top notch.

I'm not sure my wife will support my country membership application. If I'm nice to her I should be OK for 2020!!

it gives me time to work on my punched iron shot into the wind.

I'm not sure my ego could take driver/3 wood, and still be 40 yards short on the 420 yard par 4:o

As above, thanks to Gordon and Simon for hosting a great day - and a laugh on the course with George, Gordon and Simon. There was cold, there was wind (albeit a gentle breeze compared to the 50+mph gusts on the last visit), but also some light breeze and sun! I really like playing at Hayling - the surfaces are just superb, fairways and greens. Simon played very well and could easily have scored more and is a top candidate for a few shots cut over the course of the year. I started par par and had a few more but the six blobs held me back :(. Highlight for me on the golf side was only my fifth ever eagle on the tenth. 255 yards downwind, 16 degree hybrid all over the flag and just rolled to the low-side for an 8 foot uphiller!! I did my customary cock-up post this with a couple of blobs to follow - my last eagle in a medal was followed by a 10 on the par 4 sixth!

Was looking forward to a visit from Rich in his new Micra as I thought he would have a gentle drive west along the M27 from God's waiting rom!! But maybe he got lost if he couldn't programme the new fangled sat nav - the blue tooth may also have confused as he struggled with the pairing code for his BT landline :confused::confused::confused:

Glad everyone enjoyed it, always a pleasure to host guests down there and well played Simon on scooping the pot :thup:
 
Re: Hayling mini meet - Sunday 23rd March @1:30

Really good fun, thanks for hosting, the company and some good laughs

A great course, tough as my mother-in-law, although it didnt help that I had a mare.

Paul, when can I upload the video of your hip-thrusting eagle celebration?

Very good afternoon out, many thanks for hosting us Gordon and Simon and thanks to Nick and Simon for the on coure company.
Also well done to Simon for winning.
The highlight of the day for me was managing to get up the 6th with 2 irons while my two plaing partners hit the best drive and woods I saw them hit all day only to come up short, not bad for a guy with a broken leg!
Also enjoyed he Laimpoint discussion, think it could be the next big thing that nobody needs!

Sat Nav working and safely in the garage. Had a bit of trouble getting the metal that surrounded in though.:eek:

Sorry to miss the golf, but it was probably too cold and windy for me. I bet Nick looked miserable.:whistle:

That's just my normal face!!:o

I'm pleased you made it back. With that much power and with your famous sense of direction, I expected you to be found by Australian search plane somewhere in the Indian Ocean. :eek:

I had a navigator who knows all about this new technology. Just need to hide the keys from her.;)
