Hi Antony, I'm in, i selected weekday , but in hindsight, weekend would probably be better. Any final thoughts on a course ? if you need any help ringing round clubs etc give us a shout.

Hi Junior,

I have arranged a big bi-annual grudge match against some former colleagues this Friday. We are playing at Lymm GC but I have never played it before. Any tips to give me an unfair advantage over the competition??

Cheers,
Iain

 

[forefortheday]

I've had a look around and I'm thinking Formby Hall.

We should get it for around £40 maximum.

That will be coffee,bacon roll, 18 holes and a meal afterwards.

Anybody want to add suggestions I'm open to recommendations.

Hi Iain , first off I hope you enjoy your day, the course was looking great on saturday and the greens are slick for the time of the year.

After the first 2 holes you go up onto the heathland part of the course. Trick is to just be aware of where the wind is as it can affect your shot quite a lot. You can see pretty much all the trouble off the tee, but the 3rd and 5th play very long if its into the wind and 8th always plays shorter than you think. The back 9 is pretty straight forward, but dont get greedy on the 11th, it's really only a long iron to the corner and a wedge. Go for the front of the green on the 13th, even if it leaves you with a long putt, many a card has been wrecked by people hunting for a 2 !! A bogey is a good score on the 16th (si1) as most people have to hit woods in for their 2nd and 18 is a good finishing hole and 'birdieable' if you can clear the 2nd ditch with your drive.

Have a look at the course guide on the website. It's pretty comprehensive and is basically the strokesave !! Enjoy and let me know what you think !!

Cheers Junior, good info there.

I will do my homework and keep fingers crossed. We are going for the first ever hat-trick of victories.

Get in touch with Andy (Evita), I believe his mate is a member there

Looks a nice spot for a session of furrow carving. Would they require a hcp certificate? is a society one ok? Sorry for all the questions - suppose I didn;t even ask when! Oh and continued thanks.

 

[Gazp]

Never played there but a mate of mine went on a society day & was very complimentary about the course & the venue...and he's a hard man to please

I think a weekend is the best bet say end of either May or June?

I'll get answers about Handicaps etc from the guy tomorrow hopefully so I'll add some more detail then.

 

[vig]

Forefor, Glenn might be up for it depending on date. He has 2 stag do's and 2 weddings.

 

[Doh]

Hi Anthony

Put me down as well will you.

Cheers

Rick

 

[forefortheday]

Rick, I'll add you to the list mate and Vig, Glenn is more than welcome.

Formby Hall is out of the equation due to tee availability on a weekend.

I'm going to have a ring round and get some alternatives.

Unless we want to do a weekday?

End of June okay with everyone?
