North East golfing group

[splashtryagain]

I'll add my details to the group... happy to welcome guests when it warms up a bit!

Home club: Seaton Carew.
Quality of course: brilliant.
Quality of my golf: highly variable! Love the game, but try not to take it too seriously!
Availability: school holidays are best.

Here's to those lovely Spring/Summer nights when you can play a few holes and it's not dark by 5PM!!!!

Are your school hols next week (cheeky I know)?

No, sorry - w/c 24th Feb.

I thought as much. Damn Cumbria holidays being different to the rest of the country

Hi all. With my intention this year to play more golf around the north east and Cumbria I was looking to see if any forum members would like to put their name and club forward for mini meets throughout this year.

I'm a member at Hexham and also Allendale and happy to arrange rounds here (I work weekdays so it would be evenings/weekends or school holidays).

Lord Tyrion is another local based at Burnham.

Join the thread if you are interested..

We used to have a forum group that got together once in a while. I'm recently back into golf but I'd be up for a round once I've have a bit more practice. @moogie the pink shirt may get a 2nd outing

4 of us played Hexham on Sunday, great day and it’s such a lovely course. I’d hate to play it off the white tees though, it was pretty long off the winters as it is

I played it in an Open off the whites last year. Hard going. Much nicer off the yellows.

I agree, it is a lovely course but I think it would beat me up too much, competitions, to be a member there.

I didn’t drive particularly well but having over 180 yards into the green quite a lot wasn’t enjoyable, luckily I was smoking my hybrids

 

[splashtryagain]

But you two are forum members, surely it was hybrid and a flick with a wedge for most holes?

 

[splashtryagain]

Oh, both welcome to visit when the tees go back

Beezerk - what time did you play at?

We teed off at just about bang on 12, we let a 2 ball tee off before us as we would have held them up.

Did you let a young lad playing on his own through? Ridiculously nice swing on him.

Yes but not until about the 16th maybe, had a really nice swing

 

[splashtryagain]

That would be my offspring - now better than me but shhhh, don't tell him

Played in the Seniors Open last year, very enjoyable.

The 18th sticks in the memory. I had hit the longest drive in our group, and watched as the other 3 played their second shots. Every one looked as if it would be on the green, but they all ran off to the right, down a steep hill.

I thought “aim at the clubhouse, and it should end up on the green”. Flushed it, and watched in horror as it crashed off the side of the clubhouse, scattering lads who were sat outside having a beer. It then ricocheted onto the green

Anyone up for a game around Easter? I'm off on hols for 2 weeks leading up to the Easter weekend and looking to get an active start to the season. Can host at Hexham or travel

I'm twice there this year already so if we are as far south as this please count me in..... Seaton is a dream course these days... will be well pleased to meet up with you guys there

Have got 4 days in Amsterdam, an open at Seahouses, a day at Slaley and a couple of comps at our place, so the diary is pretty full over the school holidays, but I’d be up for it if we can get the dates to work.
