Quick wrap-up on yesterday.
Firstly, thank you all for coming down. As always, great to put names to faces and particular thanks to BlueInMunich & RickG for their company during the round. Weather held off and there were under layers removed pre-roudn due to the immense 14 degree heat which we experienced!
Course still undergoing a bit more work than anticipated with drainage and the greens had been sanded before the weekend so not as quick as usual, but still rolled true which was nice.
So, without any further waffling, the scores:
Jimbob.Someroo: 75 - 5 = 70
TopOfTheFlop: 93 - 22 = 71
RickG: 80 - 6 = 74
Blue In Munich: 86 - 8 = 78
OxfordComma: 101 - 20 = 81
Foxholer: 90 - 9 = 81
Sawtooh: 92 - 10 = 82
The Jezster: 101 - 13 = 88
G1BB0: 110 - 22 = 88
Haven't done the count backs for the two tied scores, can do tonight after work if people like.
The scores are a little bit deceptive as the medal format meant that one or two bad holes put paid to quite a few cards. We did see a couple of forays into the dreaded double figures, without which, a couple of cards would have been a lot more competitive.
Again, really enjoyed the day fellas and looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

cheers for the day Jim, after 8 decent holes I reached the halfway hut feeling super confident then had a poisoned sausage sarnie that destroyed my swing! 
funny how all my 3 ball were over 100, the amount of missed putts and several balls into the water were scorecard killers.
My irons and wedges were great but putter and driver.... say no more.
I really enjoyed the course and the company of course so thanks to The Jezter & Oxford Comma.

Great course, lovely weather and brilliant company. God awful swing didnt put me off either! I'd love to go back there and play again once I've found my swing again!
Thanks Jimbob for organising this, and great to meet all you guys too. Gibbo and OC, it was a pleasure (well, golf aside) :-D
I left feeling ontop of the world, as Liverpool took a commanding 2 point lead at the top of the table! This made up for everything
Hope to attend another forum meet soon.

Thanks for organising James I really enjoyed the day.
Ealing must be in a time warp though because for some strange reason I played golf from 20yrs ago Not a good day to say the least scoring wise. This sums it up for me, just 10 yds from the green on your 480yd par 5 in 2, walk off with a 9 (nine)
Decent track though and you can see how fast those greens will be when they are at their best. Still pretty fast after being sanded!
Great to play with TopOfTheFlop and forum legend, Foxholer who were great company. The former wont be off 22 for long, played some really nice stuff and he could have had an even better day had it not been for some wasteful putting. Particularly liked the long bunker shot on the par 3 9th to knock it close:thup:
Apologies to BIM for pipping him to the longest drive, I took no satisfaction taking it away from a Chelsea man whatsoever.

Many thanks for the organisation Jimbob.
Thanks for TomTom for getting me there even when I refused to go back down the 'Turn around where possible' and head back down the A40 - went past the Perivale turnoff, knowing there was a big advertising hoarding 'pointing' the way! And i could even see the course!
!st time playing Strokeplay for a while. I'd forgotten how having a 9 on the card quite early takes the pressure off!
Nice London style course with greens that are indeed quick - and will be even quicker shortly! Thank heaven most were pretty flat as slopes could make them monsters - as my 3-putt from 18 inches demonstrated. !st time playing Strokeplay for a while. I'd forgotten how having a 9 on the card quite early takes the pressure off!
Great company - thanks TotPs and Sawtooth - and entertainment as usual at these events and good to put names to faces. 1 hit with G1bbo's Icygolf wedge has added them to my shopping list for the year too!

Having witnessed it, I can 'confirm' how sorry Sawtooth was! :rofl:Apologies to BIM for pipping him to the longest drive, I took no satisfaction taking it away from a Chelsea man whatsoever.

I expect nothing less and would be disappointed to read anything else!
As regards my scoring, I blame G1BBO's pencil, it just wasn't comfortable writing small numbers……..

This sums it up for me, just 10 yds from the green on your 480yd par 5 in 2, walk off with a 9 (nine)
I'm all ears.... care to run thru those shots?.....

If I mention that it was the classic position for a Mickelson Flop over the bunker, will that give you a clue? This was the green I 3-stabbed (though the first wasn't even that good) from 18 inches!I'm all ears.... care to run thru those shots?.....This sums it up for me, just 10 yds from the green on your 480yd par 5 in 2, walk off with a 9 (nine)

Its good to see that other people are superb at making a complete mess of great positions on a hole as well. Its turning into my forte at the moment :rofl:

If it's any consolation Sawtooth, in the Club Champs last year I was just over the back in two, maybe 10 foot from the pin. Stubbed two chips. Bladed the third to 20 foot. Two putted. 8.

Yeah I see what you mean- thanks!, Hoof up field then some impressive tippy tappy football around the box and a goal! 9 passes in 15 minutes and the opposition didn't touch the ball once.:whoo:

Great position in 2 then walk off shaking head thinking why did I try and get up and down for birdie :angry:
