What was the STIMP reading of the greens? When I was at 'The Grove' last month their greens were 9.5 on the STIMP and I thought they were fast. Well fast compared to what I'm used to at my club.

They starter says it was around 9 to 10 but think they were a lot slower than that purely down to the moisture.

They are normally 10.5, but with all the rain they were slower. If it is dry in September I imagine they could be a bit nippy.

I am glad no one has mentioned your four putt from 10 feet on probably the flatest green on the course. You need good nerves to hit your putts so firmly Steve, and I hear they start to deteriorate at 30.:mmm:

I was happy it was only one 4 putt by the end of the day!!

Played North Hants today and can confirm it is fantastic condition. Captain of the Club said it was as good as he can remember. Greens were running 10.5 on the stimp, and they were quick, but very true. No three putts, and even managed to hole a few. Started two net one on the first, but then hit two many drives in the rough which is very lush.

Can't wait until the H4H day, and with all my local knowledge I could be a contender.

For all of those undecided whether to sign up for this, here is a piccie of the trophy you will be competing for.

If this doesn't make you want to sign up, then nothing will.

If anyone has a photo with last years winner engraved (I forget his name ), then I'd be grateful if you could post it here.

Once again we have to thank Sandy at Go-kart for donating this incredible trophy.... :whoo: :thup:
