Leatherhead 28th March

[HomerJSimpson]

Smiffy

I think you'll find the Ascot par 3's a challenge. Shame we're not off the whites as the first is 220+ from the comp tee with a pond left, trees right. No pressure then with a medal card in your hand, into the wind and first shot of the day. Watch out for the 6th (a sleeper of a hole - real card wrecker) and the 13th and 17th

Can I dibs the yellows please!!

 

[Leftie]

It's far more interesting off the whites, isn't it HTL

Well it certainly was last time. If possible we will go off the whites on the 28th, still to do it at Leatherhead so I aint going to have any advantage.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Does Leatherhead a practice ground and do you need to bring your own practice balls or can you get them from a machine? I'll need to warm up as the shoulder and back are not good again

 

[haplesshacker]

Homer. You're already getting the excuses in!?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

No. My poor game will be excuse enough. Just suffered for years with a shoulder problem and having started to play two rounds at weekends in the better weather and practicing several nights per week it is rebelling and takes a wee while to get loose and co-operate into making a full swing

 

[HTL]

Yes it has a range, off grass, but you need to bring your own balls and go pick them up after. Or you can use the nets. Also has big putting green and bunkers to play in.

Weather looks wet running up to the 28th so keep those fingers crossed.

 

[HTL]

Just to confirm we are all up for Saturday guys? Should be good fun.

We have two tee times - 13:20 + 13:30.

I will be at the club from about 12:30 trying to sort out my short game.

 

[haplesshacker]

Cool. I'll be there as arranged; providing the wife doesn't drop number 2 beforehand!!

 

[Leftie]

Looking forward to it mate

 

[USER1999]

Will be there early. Have loads of practice balls, so will be found somewhere having a bash. Enough of you know me to track me down. I guess I will be the one in the loudest clothes anyway.

 

[haplesshacker]

Would those be the ones with mud on the backside!!

 

[backwoodsman]

Guys,

Is the last place still up for grabs? (I think I counted seven?) If it is, I'm interested.

(If you'll have me, I'm off 19 but my game's deserted me - so not expecting great results.)

Ps Can't use the forum at work so won't see any replies till tonight. Cheers

 

[HTL]

backwoodsman, yes your more than welcome. Good stuff that’s two four balls going out.

The groupings will be in order of who put their names down =

13:20 – HTL, Murph, Homer, Leftie

13:30 – Haplesshacker, Adjani, Tubebuster, Backwoodsman

All we need now is the rain to bugger off and the course to dry out,

Just had call from Haplesshacker (25/3/09 at 13:15), he's asked me to let you know he won't be able to make the Leatherhead meet due to his wife going into labour. We were supposed to be playing at my track this afternoon, but he came up with this lame excuse

I'm sure your all with me when I wish Hapless and his wife all the very best, and we'll worry about the golf another time.

 

[USER1999]

Did he ask her to try to hold on til Sunday?

 

[HTL]

Oh what! Suppose he can be excused for that. Fair play on letting us know so quickly.

All the best to them!

One more space available then...........

 

[Twire]

Did he ask her to try to hold on til Sunday?

I'm sure he did, but you know what these women are like.

Forgot to mention in my OP that this is two weeks early.

 

[Leftie]

All the best HH. Hope everything goes OK.
