Looking Forward to Cooden

[PNWokingham]

Last game before Cooden today. Played in a friendly - we decided pairs overall stabelford - we were 6 down with 2 to play - and knew we had lost, but, then, Dave got the shanks and they both played 3 off the tee down the last - totally against the grain - and I went birdie (2 inches from an eagle), par - and we halved the match - great fun - although greens were a lottery after major hollow tining and scarifying - soft as mush and you had to be careful not to dig them up when repairing pitch marks! 38 points with a blob on the third (!!!! )

I found 10 balls in the rhododendrons/trees on the left of 12, which should help me through Cooden on Friday after having a nightmare last year - I think one ball had the fading name of Robert Smith! A scuffed Top Flight!

The car is full of juice, the golf clubs packed and I get back from Ireland Thursday evening - ready for a 6.15 departure down sarf to retirementville to loose a few more balls. Bring it on!!

Paul, are you sure 10 balls is enough? I heard you got through 19 last time

or was that a certain gentleman telling me fibs?

Have a great time. Cooden sounds a good trip and if Smiffy with organising it'll be a good day. Have fun and try and keep the lost ball count down

Anthony, I did say, help me - I can always top up at half time like last time (!!) - although, I am hoping to banish the memory of last year with a better display this time - I think today was the first time I have beaten handicap for about 6 months - and only 1 lost ball, although I am 11 up on the day

Paul, you are tops in my view, the course clearly doesn't suit you, and yet you are coming back again for more punishment. Can we have a sweep on how many balls you lose?

Murph - it is not that the course didn't suit - I really like it - it was the numpty with the clubs! Feel free to bet away but I guarantee that I will improve on last time!

I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that working away much of the week, long hours in a stressful job, 2 small kids etc, and only one game max per week is not the recipe to get to single figures, or even stay a solid 13/14 - although my head still wants to believe that it can

Looking forward to seeing you there!
