Ok will see them there - Peter where are you travelling from? quickest way may be M62 M6 M56, bit of a detour BUT will avoid the bridge and everyone trying to cut through Warrington Or you can cut through warrington and down the A56

I live in Prescot, so it's easy for me to get on M62, will leave about 3.30 so hopefully the M6 won't be too bad

Ive heard a lorry driver took 3 hours to get to Runcorn via the bridge.
M62/M6/M6 may also feel a knock on effect.
I'd go the tunnel, M53/M56 way. Coming home should be ok though.

I understand that they have closed the flyover from Speke to the bridge and diverting all traffic via the roundabout and slip road in Widnes - total madness- what was two lanes, then three lanes is now One lane joining the existing Widnes traffic - avoid at all costs! - Not sure the return journey will be any better during normal hours as you will have to try to navigate the roundabouts etc that will already by blocked by Runcorn bound traffic.

Enjoyed tonight's round with Peter and jack some decent golf by all on a tough course - would definitely benefit from local knowledge

Isn't the 18th tee about 50 yards above the fairway?
. Although I can't speak as when I played, I sliced two into the forest on the right.

Doesnt count, it's downhill and with wind (normally).
Jpenno, we'll have to sort our game out mate. Have you played blundells hill?
If not we could see if viking man will host, as he's offered. If not Houghwood is also an option with Danny (injury permitiing). I've not played either.
What did you think of Delamere?

Of course it's downhill and downwind, only way I could do it! Can't believe my forum membership is being blocked on a technicality, I was looking forward to getting a badge and everything
On the subject of driving, John hits a great ball for his handicap, he will definitely upset some opponents this year.
On tonight's match, I think I met Jack_bfc (actually called Mick) at the right time, as he will not be off 21 for very long at all, this is his first year of competitive golf, and he is just going to get better and better. I managed to edge the match (sent you full details Birchy) lovely weather, good company and a very nice course, although local knowledge would be worth about 6 shots around there

Not played blundells hill so happy to have a game there can play most evenings but will be struggling until after 11 June
Delamere was enjoyable but tough due to not knowing the course particularly the unsighted shots

Thanks for the game fella's.!
Delamere was up and down to say the least...
Good course with plenty of blind shots, but we did well finding most of the wayward balls!!
I kept the match going to the 16th despite finding more bunkers than I have been in the last year!! Even managing to find three different ones on the same hole...
Good company, good course and the first of many such events I hope...
right, who's next??

Is there any more room in the NWOOM? I finish uni today 
so will have much more time for golf. I will be joining a local club in the next few weeks and hope to have a proper h/cap by mid June.

Hi JP,
I've got a pairs match to sort at our course for the next week or so. Once that's done, I'll try to sort another OOM game between now and next Thursday, if possible with someone out of our group.
We'll take it from there - have you played Houghwood, also available as a poss neutral venue?
Vikingman - are you still injured, or are you available in the next 12 days/nights?
