North Kent meet - deposits required.

[Leftie]

Hollow tined or spiked?

If spiked, then shouldn't be too bad by the end of the week although they might then put fertiliser down which then has to be watered in, which then...................

Oh, what the hell, it will be the same for everyone

It might even slow that wicked right to left break that slopes away from you on the first

They have the big, round holes in them - that's hollow tined, isn't it?

Erm, I three putted the first today...

 

[Smiffy]

Guys, I played the course today - it was closed all last week for the greenkeeping staff to do their magic and...

the greens have been hollow tined (sp?) and sanded!!!

I just thought I'd warn you before Friday.

AW

Hollow tining normally sorts itself out within a few days so I reckon your greens would be ok for Friday Dave.
Woodhall Spa's have been done this week-end and they should be immaculate by the 16th.

 

[Bratty]

Fingers crossed it's not as bad as Chart Hills! I played the day after hollow-tining and my god it was an absolute lottery!!!

 

[USER1999]

Need lots of rain, and they will recover. If Smiffy is playing, we'll get rain on Friday. All day.

Nearly everywhere gets hollow tined this week. It's hollow tining season.

 

[Bratty]

Murph, weather forecast is good, good, good.

I trust you've a new outfit to treat us to?

 

[USER1999]

Nope, I'll be all conservative, probably in black, mourning the demise of my 8i.

Unfortunately Smiffy won't be there. He gave some moody excuse about having to work....

I think the weather's looking OK for Friday. Lunch on the veranda??

Good evening and welcome to the draw for the Redlibbets 'North Kent GM forum' meet.

This is, truly, the GM meet of the year!! It's a who's who of the GM forum - the creme de la creme of the golfing aristocracy will be in attendance. For those of you lucky enough to have tickets - you'll see shots you've never seen before - and trousers....

We're live on SKY sports, you can listen in live on Radio 5Live and online at SKYPlayer.

We've got Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods doing the draw.

It's a good job Andy Gray and Richard Keys have gone - with Tiger here we'd have knee deep in sex pests!!

OK, on with the draw....

So, there you have it. The runners and riders for the 5th major.

I've received requests from certain people to play with certain people. I did say that I'd draw the groups randomly which I did - I'm a man of my word. But, if you do want to play with a particular forum member then I'm sure swaps can occur at lunchtime. Everyone will know how the course plays/is laid out so the groups don't have to remain the same.

I'll be at the club from 7:30 (when the clubhouse opens). If you have any problems then please PM me or call me on 07702152815. Please, no mucky calls unless after 11pm....

We'll be playing off the white tee boxes.

One additional thing - in the morning round, on the par 3 17th (some say our signature hole) will be a 'beat the pro' competition. Get closer to the hole than the pro and you win a prize - plus you get some bragging rights....

I'll also sort out nearest the pin and longest drive as well.

All in all, it should be a great day and I look forward to seeing the guys I know and meeting the guys I don't.

[Golfmmad]

[chrisd]

The draw looks good to me, I look forward to meeting my playing partners.

Whats the best way to the club fom the M20, Ashford direction Dave?


Chris

 

[Bratty]

All looks good, Dave. Especially as I've dodged the bullet and don't have to play with James!

Looking forward to it, mate. Thanks for sorting it all out.

 

[daveyc2k2]

Looks good to me, really looking forward to this now. Thanks for organising AW.

Out of interest, does the clubhouse allow trainers or should I bring some shoes with me?

 

[JustOne]

All looks good, Dave. Especially as I've dodged the bullet and don't have to play with James!

Fecker!

You know I'm joking, mate!

Whats the best way to the club fom the M20, Ashford direction Dave?


Chris

I've no idea - I come from the other direction.....

I'll ask my Dad - he lives in Ashford

M20 j3 - M26 j2a - A20 - through West Kingsdown and New Ash Green.

The signage for the club is not the best. You'll see one sign at the start of Manor Lane - and that's the only one!!! Drive up Manor Lane - go past the stables on the left, past Butcher's Lane on the right and the golf club entrance will be on the right - about 50 yards after Butchers Lane.

Any problems, give me a call.

No worries.

I've seen people wearing trainers and nothing's been said so you should be OK. I always wear shoes though, just to be on the safe side.....

You don't need shirt/tie/blazer though.

Thanks Dave - wont be a problem I know the area reasonably well and will just look for Manor Lane

I might go naked, it depends on the weather.

Funny you say that - there's a nudist colony that runs down the side of our 12th!!!

Play in your birthday suit and you'd blend right in.

You'd need it to be VERY warm though.......

A sunny 22* is forecast with gentle breezes. Sooooo?????
