There were some wimps (nobs) that had no stamina and went to bed before 10:30 pm....... no names of course!! :)
 
Lucky lucky gits. I'm very jealous of your trip make sure you host hundreds of photographs to make me feel even more green. Good luck chaps play well today.
 
What a brilliant day.
Gorgeous weather, barely no wind AND... I didn't hit a bad shot all day :D

07.30, day 2 and the sun is out already. It's going to be another beautiful day.
Pics and vids to follow.
Here's our day 1 leader striping one off the first

 
Crawford, you'd hate it.
Parkland course, loads of huge trees, warm and na wind :(
Apparently, there's a bunker on the Bracken that Smiffy DIDN'T go in :D
 
Well, what a great weekend :) A huge thank you to Smiffy for organising it all and sorting out some cracking weather.

Many thanks also to those that I partnered for their excellent company - Saturday it was Snelly, Pieman and RickG then on Sunday it was Leftie, Justone and Whereditgo.

Here are the results from day 2 and the overall results:

A top, top weekend. Many thanks to Smiffy for organising yet another superb meet, and to TXL for helping out with scores etc.

Great to see so many familiar faces, and to meet some new guys. Thanks to my playing partners - Anthony, Ray and Rick on Saturday; Rick, Chris and Dave today - for their excellent company.

A huge thanks as always to Chris for the lift - superb driving effort - and to James for making the journey so enjoyable!! :D Probably the only time I've wanted a 2 and-a-half hour journey to last longer!!!! :D :D

Brilliant weather, fantastic courses, superb company - couldn't have asked for a better weekend.

Finally, congrats to Gary for taking the honours.

Just got home and I concur with all Pieman's sentiments. Brilliant weather, fantastic courses, superb company - couldn't have asked for a better weekend.

Congrats to Gary for taking the honours and as always Rob you are a star. You make it what it is, without you and your organising NOTHING would happen. Many, many thanks.

Dave

Thanks for your company on both days Dave! And to Vig,Justone,Smiffy and Century G5 too!

Smiffy thanks very very much for organising a superb event, you even sorted the weather!

My face is nuclear and not just from my scores, thanks for your patience and assistance people.

But Heronsghyll's attempt at illegally "adjusting" his driver on the 1st tee on the first day was probably the most :eek: :eek: :eek: moment I've experienced.

Sorry my Mr Whippy shaft couldn't help you out.

Well done to Gary that score round those two courses was superb.
 
Smiffy,Thank you for organising this superb weekend,Company was,as always ,excellent.1st day, fourball was,Roger (Leftie) Charlie,(RichardC father in law) and RichardC H/cap 17 my ar*e :eek: :eek: :D :D :D
 
Well, one word to sum it all up????

LAUGH

:D :D :D

Anyone nervous about meeting up with strangers on a forum meet, just do it.
The mob on here are top drawer, regardless of the quality of the golf.

Thanks to my playing partners Chris, Glenn, David, Ray, Nick and Richard. First rate company for 2 very different rounds of golf. In fact, thanks to everyone for making the weekend so enjoyable from start to finish.

Massive thanks to Smiffy for yet another excellent meet, ran like clockwork, and even the sorted the weather this time. Could not have been better imo.
Also to Anthony for collating all the results, top job.

Finally, thanks to Bob for the putting tips. It'll take a little time but I'm sure it'll be getting much better soon.

I struck the ball well on Saturday, but being kind my short game was 'inconsistent'. Sunday the ball striking wasn't so good but my short game was much improved to keep the result about the same. Overall very happy how I played, just hope I can keep it up for our medal on Tuesday to get another nice little cut. :)

So many memorable things about our time there but I'm sure others will recount them and I don't want to steal anyone's punchlines.

As for the courses, they were both very very nice (and very different).
It would help having previous experience of them. The Bracken for the slopes on the greens, knowing where not to go because what appears to be a good shot can catch a slope not visible from the fairway and end up in a bunker.
The Hotchkin is the same sort of thing but off the tee. I found it very difficult to pick a line and club even with a strokesaver.

I like to be able to see what I'm playing <u>before</u> it goes pearshaped, and for that reason they're not ideal courses for me.
Don't get me wrong though, top quality courses and I'd look forward to going back.
 
Fantastic weekend!!!!

Well done to Gary for winning, he played some great golf today.

Thanks to Roger, Bill and Charlie for Saturday's round and Gary, Ray and Nick for putting up with my crap play for the first 9 holes today

Massive thanks to Rob for organising and Anthony for doing the results.

Great to meet up with everyone again and thanks for making my father in law so welcome.
 
Well done Gary for winning and the other runner ups.
A :Dbig thankyou to Bobmac for his piss take and the new 3wood for Rhys. he wants to play this weekend.
Smiffy what can you say about the man that is printable in a family forum. Weel done Sir for the arrangements min.
Would concur the second time is better to play a course but I wont be chargeing back in a hurry.
For all the laughs and funny antics of the members I have learned a lot of new words this weekend.
Roll on Beau Desert. :D :D
