Man up will you!
Would be a shame to lose you Robin, especially as you've organised it all.
Can you take my place then Phil, it's all coming out of me today even though I'm ramming the Day Nurse & Night Nurse down me, I'm exhausted just walking around New St keeping my gangs going.
Sorry guys, I'll sort something else out at my place or somewhere else and we'll get together.

Sorry to hear that Robin,get better soon.
If Phil cant make it Tony has a list of reserves for Little Aston.
Am also having to give it a miss as playing for club in semi final of county Seniors Scratch comp at a course where balls were being lost on the fairway last week
Have fun everyone and hope the weather is kind to you.

Sorry guys my sciatica is playing up so I'm out of action for a week or so
As Ben (Upsidedown) has stated, there is always a list of reserves available but obviously it would be nicer to get someone off the forum, I'll give it until 7.30pm on here for someone to come forward otherwise I will then inform Tony to slot someone in at 09.03 with you 3 guys.
Once again I'm sorry, it's not so much the actual head cold that's a hindrance, more so the weakness I'm feeling because of it.

Unlucky Robin.
If it's any consolation the weather forecast looks a bit iffy.
But Little Aston is a quality venue and I'll still enjoy playing, even in the rain.

Fingers crossed that the weather is not too bad.
Tony hasn't found anyone but he will allow the player not paired up to have a Pro's score added of 2 points per hole to his score, so you'd go out as a 3-ball but 2 of you will be actually paired and 1 has a Pro score added, is that ok?
If not I'll come and play as I don't want to let anyone down.

That's fine by me Robin, I'm not going with the hope of winning anything anyway, just to enjoy the course and the company, wouldn't want to drag you out from your sickbed and listen to you moaning your way round the course!
Seriously though mate and I'm sure I speak for the other guys too in saying that we appreciate your work in setting the day up in the first place and knowing your desire to play come what may, you must be feeling pretty low to not feel up to it.

Well....what a disaster. Worst golf conditions I've ever played in, have never been so cold in my life. We decided to call it a day on the 12th (furthest point from course).
Turns out a hooter had gone off anyway (we'd never have heard it).
Such a shame as you can see Tony makes a real effort!
Course also looks brilliant. Hope to go back in near future

Sorry to hear this, especially as I cried off.
Was it all abandoned then and nobody completed?
Tony is a top bloke, I've played in a few now and Ben (Upsidedown) has played in loads, they are very well organised and people are travelling from decent distances to attend them more & more as some of the courses on the rota are excellent value, Little Aston being a prime example, just a shame about the weather, which is the golfers achilles heel.

Course closed at 11.15 so nobody got further round than 10 or 11 holes.
I was due out at 12.20 so arrived just as the hooter was sounded indicating closure. What was it they used to say in wartime; "Is your journey really necessary?"
Still there is always the Summer Series to look forward to.

Not sure it was the worst conditions I've ever played in but certainly up there.
We also missed the hooter and I'd guess we were somewhere around the 12th when it was sounded, which is the furthest corner from the clubhouse and seeing as the horizontal snow/sleet was blowing in the direction of the clubhouse it's not surprising that we didn't hear it.
We battled on and competed the round only to find out the comp had been called off, the fourball in front of us also played on unaware so we blame them!
ArnoldArmChewer and D4RK1 both played well, D4RK1 finished very strongly and rounded it off by slam dunking his bunker shot on the 17th for birdie! They finished with a very creditable 36 points.
Cheers guys, enjoyed your company and hope next time the weather is better!
I played like a knob, pushing almost every drive into trouble on the right and putting like an idiot.

It would seem in the interest of safety Little Aston need to sort their hooter out and if everyone isn't deemed to be walking in, a Marshall or pro should go out in a buggy to let everyone know, to finish a further 6 holes after the course has been closed is ludicrous!
Were you all refunded or....?

It was an experience that's for sure. Had a bit of an embarrassing start to the day as I hadnt realise I'd turned up with an empty wallet. Very kindly ArnoldArmChewer spared my blushes and stumped up the cash. So I owe him a beer and some money now.
Little Aston is a stunning course and I will make it there for a round in the summer as its too good to miss especially as its so local.
The company on the course was great, very friendly and welcoming. Some good golf played by all. Unfortunately I decided today was the day to hit all approach shots on the front 9 as fat as possible. The back 9 was a major improvement so happy all in all.
The rain at the start was manageable. Not much fun but were all used to it. The snow was a new one. Hopefully not to be repeated. Once that cleared after an hour it cleared up and the wind came to the party.
Fish, thank you for booking us on, it was a shame we didn't get to meet. Just as well you couldn't make it though aye
I'll post up a couple of pictures later.
