Hoping to be there around 9 as well, although I have to come round the M25 so can't guarantee it will be 9am!

Looking out of my office window at bright sunshine - let's hope next Friday will be the same!

 

[welshjim22]

Yeah hoping for the sunshine or at the least little to no rain. Starting to worry about the two par 3's already with my game a bit random at present. What are we thinking practice then food or vice versa i would probably favour eating first.

 

[rob2]

Happy to do whatever. 4 days of work to go

Just a pic from last years outing. I really am looking forward to this. I have a crap week at work ahead and dying to play some Golf in the sun. Its defo in my top 3 courses!

The blue tees looked "fun" last time we were there.......

 

[USER1999]

Is that the scene for your famous 'I can make it with a wedge' shot?

 

[HTL]

Nope, this was a 220 yard 4 iron. Landed at the back of the green, cocked up a chip, then two decent putts for a 4 and 2 points

Really hope you enjoy the course mate.

 

[USER1999]

I am shanking like a good un at the moment, so I need plenty of space on the right.

Range session on Wednesday to try and sort it out.

Looking forward to it. Almost.

 

[AuburnWarrior]

I can't bloody wait!!!!!

A day off work, a whole day to spend at the club and a new putter as well - perfection!

 

[USER1999]

It won't be if you get drawn with me. I can ruin perfection pretty niftily.

 

[HTL]

9am meet, fry up, hit range ball then get on the tee for about 11:15 for a bit of pre round banter, meal and beer after. Good Times!

 

[Smiffy]

That kicked in quick!!
You didn't Barclay's one shot last Sunday

 

[USER1999]

It comes and goes. Easy in, easy out.

It wouldn't be golf if it was consistent.

 

[welshjim22]

For what it is worth i am having a mare on the course and range at present. Today was a good example went on the range 10 sand wedge pitch shots within 7m of each other followed by 10 7 iron shots that went straightish. Went back to wedge and what do you know i shanked the lot. Went back to the 7 and all over the place.

Anyone bringing the camera to try and get some shots in the mag?

 

[USER1999]

Which tees are we playing off?

I assume we get a choice, which leaves white or blue. I am not going off yellows (given the choice).

7005 yards off blue, or 6574 off whites. Hmm. Blue would suit HTLs power game. White would suit Lefties old git mode of nudging it round. Good job Smiffys not coming, we would be off the reds.

Obviously Jack N has never heard of the joys of subtle par threes. Off the Blues, they are 197, 201, 190, 198, and 229 respectively. No room for a tricky little 140 yarder then?

I'm happy with the blues - sorts the men out from the boys!!

I'll play from any of the tees - whatever suits the majority.

I've just phoned The London Club regarding hiring a PowaKaddy - they're £12 and they've got GPS (DMD) attached. Before you all start, I'm getting old and I'll need all the help I can get!!

Currently it's carrying only but I'll phone again on Thursday and see whether this has changed.

I am so excited it's rediculous!! In fact, I haven't been this excited since SKY accidently gave me the mucky channels..

 

[USER1999]

I have been caught out by this carrying malarkey before. Played HTLs track, he knew there was a trolley ban, he knew I used an electric, and yet 'forgot' to tell me, so I had to carry my cart bag. Still beat his score though.

I guess I'll put a carry bag in the boot, just in case, but hopefully the dry weather this week will dry the course out a bit.
