Nice - will there be enough time though in April, only light till about 8.30-9.00, by May/June it gets up to 9.30/10.30. I do fancy Sandiway though, only ever heard good things.

I will be surprised if loads can make it but I can see whats available and go from there. Can always arrange the tee times to suit peoples arrival time etc.

I was looking at back end of April so more light.

Maybe if we polish the pates of our less hirsuit members, we may get an extra 1/2 hour in.;) Unless they do weekend twilights, in which case we may be ok.

Why thank you Peter... No one could possibly know that I was follically challenged...;)

Are you still going to be rocking the rather nice Blue Oyster Bar leather number this year?

Maybe,maybe - I'm thinking of asking Mitchell Johnson if I can loan his tache, to pair it up with. How do you see your group panning out?

It looks like a good group to be honest. Got a good mix of players. Peterlav is a quality ball striker who is just sooo consistant off the tee. Val is always capable of knocking in a score in the 70's (especially considering he'll probably be playing every game at home ;)). Podge is rapidly improving and has no doubt learnt loads from playing with the King of Matchplay. The unknown quantity is JackBFC.. I'm really looking forward to it...

It'll probably suit me if I can delay my games for a month or so till I've learned to play to the new handicap.. As it stands, I look like the group whipping boy..:D.. I'm currently at home with a Swingyde attached to an old 7 iron practising my swing every 1/2 hour.. I'll also be up at the club practising the short game a few times a week.. I'm really taking this year seriously.. I've no choice really..:D

From where I'm standing, brutal!!! :ears:

At least there's no expectation on me, unlike someone with a shiny new 7 handicap..... :whoo:

Never played with Huds so not sure what he's like but to come out ahead of Dave, Birchy and Louise will take some doing!!

You'll see that shiny new 7 handicap in action on Sunday mate... Lets just say that there will be some subtle differences from your shiny 7 handicap.. Such things as accuracy, distance, consistency, course management.. I might still win the putting though...;)
 
Birchy, Thanks for the organisation of this, :clap: looking forward to seeing you guys, at various meets. Bill :fore:

P.s. If any of you lads want a knock at Leasowe,:thup::thup:

You can play to 7 no bother Danny Boy, I'm trying to work out how quickly I can get 8 qualifiers in to get up to 8 :)

No "might" about it with the putting! Mine has improved but still absolutely bobbins in the grand scheme of things...

There will be a final in September. All points won in group stage will be taken through to he final day. Final will be medal or stableford format but that will be decided once the venue has been decided.

Will be a chance to win from way back but will need something special. Keeps more players in it compared to last time but still winning points in group stage will make it much easier :thup:

Not being selfish like, honest....but the international weekend is Sept 6th......:whistle:

I'm already nervous! Been waiting for ever for the membership to get sorted ' bloody weather'
My only ever club HC was 22.7 ( one season only) but my society have cut me to 17 for this season after a 2nd and a win last season!

I will put 3 of my best efforts in to get a realistic HC this month and will be practising furiously!

Also I have never played a one on one matchplay in anger! Could be fun!
