Got my copy at last. Haven't read it yet, but skip read the slow play article.

For those who were there in the 4 ball (Sammmebee, myself Hapless, and a.n.other), who was the slow one in the group who took 10 to 20s longer per shot than every one else?

I can't say, as that would be telling tales. That said, conditions were a touch difficult, given the weather and the course layout, so a few wayward shots were inevitable.

One of the two came third though, so they can't have been that bad.

No, not at all. Because I hadn't noticed any one being particularly slow, I had assumed it was me. If it was, I don't care as I normally walk fast, and so I think I can spend more time over the ball.

I was the mentioned "man in the bushes" but this was only on 2 holes and on both occassions I found the ball.

Incidentally I did finish in the prizes so was chuffed to bits over that. Finished up playing to my handicap in attrocious conditions, on a new track and were it not for a penalty I suffered due to my stupidity I would have finished -2 Net.

I was also the quick man over the ball, I have never been one for elongated pre-shot routines.

I am the twit in the red w/proofs, with the 1000 yard stare, and the silly walk. Aren't photos fun.

As an aside, the picture in the freebie calendar of Ardglass 2nd hole (december). This is a beast of a par three. About 180 yards (i think) accross a crevasse, with exposed rocks short of the green, to send a short ball flying. Played this in September, hit short of the green (just), leaving a 15ft chip (in horizontal rain), knifed it to the back of the green, and sunk a 30ft putt for a grateful par. Awesome hole.

I'm a bit disappointed that the fact that I picked up on two of the holes wss'nt seen as a positive happening in the fourball!

Sorry if it doesn't read well, as I'm trying to do this on the phone, as I'm away from home and office for a few days.

BTW I'm the one in the CG black & lime jacket and stupid hat!!
