Thanks for organising Steve, nice to meet some new forumites and some old ones again. Well done to Rick, don't walk down any dark alleys mate :smirk:

Blobbed the 1st (lost ball), not a great start to get mentally going, the marshal didn't indicate I'd need to take a provisional as he shot off in his buggy to the dogleg I went straight into with my ball never to be seen again

I struggled with the front 9 in some very strong wind and was trying to chase my blob back, which I know doesn't work but hey, a silly double bogey on a comfortable par 5 on the 7th saw me with a penalty after a great drive & 4i only then to fly the green OOB from only 79yds with my 52* So I was scrambling at times on the front and had a miserable 12 points on the turn but no more blobs in the whole round.

Back 9 was totally different, settled down, told myself I was out of the reckoning and hit a solid 19 points with only 1 x 1 pointer on the 18th to finish with 31, if the greens weren't so bad a few pars and even biride putts [could] have gone down, but at times the greens were a bit of a lottery!

A great day though in great company, thanks to my playing partners Preet, Gary & Alex, it was emotional

Cheers for organising today mate

Shame about the wind but made it very tough

Great score form Rick and good luck at Hillside

Cheers to my PP - some cracking drives with some proper forum yardage from us all - and one with a 3 wood just over 300 yards !!

Shame about the rest of my game !!

Thanks to my 3 doughty PP's, really enjoyed your company, well played Phil, Slicer your iron into the last will live long in my memory (but I did tell you not to leave the putt short!!), Evesdad do you fancy a bet that you won't be 28 come the end of the season ??

Thanks again guys and well done Steve for organising.

Well, that was interesting.

Thanks to fundy for organising, LIG, Alex and Fish for your company on the course, and Evesdad for the lift.
Congrats to Rick for a great score in the conditions, and good luck at Hillside. :thup:
Apologies to anyone that had to play behind us.
