Leatherhead 28th March

[HTL]

Have booked two tee times for us 13:20 - 13:30, at the moment I have Murph, Homer, Leftie, Haplesshacker + myself down to play, would be great if we could make two four balls.

Why can't you do these on a bleeding Sunday?

 

[Leftie]

Well done HTL

Looking forward to it.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I'm in although not sure why after today.

 

[haplesshacker]

Ditto. But short game was holding up. Gross 107, 26 h'cap, and scored 30 points, inc, 5 of over 8's, and 34 putts. Just hope that I can get over any carry from the tees, I might just survive if I can.

Somewhat to my disbelief I lost 3 balls today, so my new swing isn't working as well as I had hoped. I haven't lost 3 balls in a round for about 15 years. Humbug. Luckily they were all pre worn.

 

[HTL]

I got another card in today, shot 18 over par, that included 3, 3 putts and 2 OB. So playing quite well.

Spoke to the handicap bloke and he reckons I will be given around 16-18 for my handicap. Looks good on paper but cant see me winning much stuff for a while.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

HTL does that mean you're off 16-18 at Ascot? When does the last card go in?

 

[Adjani]

HTL, if you have any spaces left, can i play ?

Good stuff! Yes your more than welcome, I think its £15 a round. Your name is down.

Homer, we will wait until I get my next card in to decide but its looking that way Will have to play my best ever round to stand a chance of winning, rightly so I suppose.

 

[Leftie]

That's what it's all about mate.

I started yesterday's medal with a quadruple bogie , had 2 doubles (one on the last) and came in with net 70 so there might be a little cut in the offing.

Got room for one more guys? I was a member at Leatherhead a few years back so know my way round. And I also have enough dodgy stories about Martin "Homer Simpson" Bedborough to keep more than two four-balls entertained all the way round ....

Good stuff! Your in, go on give us a pre view of one of these stories........

 

[HTL]

Ok that makes 7, room for one more.

 

[tubebuster]

Ask Homer about the time he mooned all the listeners on the Chris Tarrant breakfast show on Capital Radio in 1988 ....

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Mr McGuinness or whatever alias you are currently under I presume. Don't forget I have an equally sordid array of stories from Chessington and the marathons to hold my own.

Will be good to see you and get that £10 you still owe me (from 1987 - not that I keep track of these things). Get your scrawny butt down to Ascot on Friday April 3rd (PM me for the details)

For those that have not played Leatherhead before.......watch the par 3's.
5 of them in total and off 12 handicap you will stroke on 4 of the buggers. I don't think I've ever played a course with a tougher bunch of par 3 holes in my life!!
A very nice course, really livens up from the 8th hole onwards with some beautiful holes on the back 9.
The par 4 13th could grace any golf course in the world.

I like the par 3's, well the two that I birdied! The uphill 205yrd 18th is always fun (I put my tee shot to within two feet )

 

[USER1999]

Where were you aiming?

 

[HTL]

Didn’t say what pin it was within two feet from.

Cheeky git, dont use up all your half decent banter before our meet. Think I will have to put myself with you to show you that I can play this stupid game, at times.
