London golf club meet 1/11/09- 31/03/10

Hey guys... have a great day tomorrow. Looks like you are going to have excellent weather for it! Wish I could be there with you but duty calls - I have to pick the kids up from school tomorrow.

Please ensure that you don't stand in a position where you might get hit by one of Murphthemog's shanks!
 
Well some good and bad nes for me today. Finally completed my first full 18 holes of the year. Scored 107 on a new course i have never played before hit 5 of the last 8 fairways and only missed the others by a few feet. First 9 were shocking with a good improvement on the back 9. In fact i would have been better off if i didn't lose my ball in the water next to the 18th green.

Word of warning guys inside 100yds i am deadly. Safest place to stand would be the green. Almost made a par5 in two though bloody thing rolled down the edge of the green into a bunker which surprise surprise i failed to get out of in two. Some sand practice in the morning i think.
 
Ill be sporting a black polo tomorrow with like Murph said a red long sleve base layer under it.

I really cant wait. Crap week at work is over, hit balls at range on way home and just finished my dinner and about to have a beer. Good Times.

See you in the morning lads.
 
Came home, had a trial climb on the scafolding (well, you have to really), a couple of beers, a pie (solid carb loading, plus more), iron the golf trews, sort out the shoes, charge up the gps, load up the bag with balls, try out the hat, pose in front of the mirror, suck in the beer gut, yup, we're ready.

Bring it on.
 
I came home from work, opened a beer, thought about the range (well, it's the thought that counts), opened another beer, had a curry, had another beer, cleaned the clubs, cleaned the shoes, ironed trousers, now off to bed! See you all tomorrow!
 
Pretty sure the winners name starts with a H.

Glad to hear you had a good time. You certainly had the weather for it!!
;) ;) ;)
 
Great day out Jim. Thanks for organising it.

Just waiting now for the winners match report.

Note to Bobmac. I saw your Bentley in West Kingsdown this morning on the way to the game. Well I assume that it was yours. The reg was V5 ASY.
 
Ahh, but you aren't me. That was uncharacteristically crap. I don't often hit the ball that badly for the whole 18.


Ok, results, Hywell won with 38 points, RickG second with 36, and Leftie persuded it round in 35.

In our 4, Hywell and I lost by two holes, mainly my fault.

I played the par 3s well, and had a couple of up and downs from bunkers, but other than that I was poor.

Hywell played as well as I have seen him. His chipping and putting were really solid which is an aspect of his game I haven't seen before.

RickG played solid tidy golf.

Auburn Warrior made up the fourth. He played as well as I did, which is why the game was closeish.

For the other boys, who knows?
 
Great day Jim - cheers for organising. Cheers for the lift as well Chris.

Good to put some faces to 'names'! In the other four-ball, we had a lovely walk, enjoyed the sunshine and the views, had a nice chat, laugh and a joke, and enjoyed watching Rog put together 35 points!
