JP, same as LB really, I'm off for two weeks commencing 2nd June so if there's any days there you can be available we can look to source a host, I just won't be available fri-Mon in the middle of the fortnight.

on another note, if any reads this, can someone text Andy Greg for me and let him know that I don't have a phone signal at present and he's pickin me up soon, just n case he thinks there's a problem...cheers.

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?

Elbow's still a bit suspect but if it starts playing up I can just walk round anyway.

With regards availability next week I could probably do Monday or Tuesday nights or maybe Saturday afternoon.

Monday is by far the best night as its usually relatively quiet (and I might be able to get you a very good deal).

If you want to play at weekend your probably looking in the region of £20.

Cheers, I'd rather play when your ok,ideally. Ive got to sort a pairs match at ours in the coming days, so will sort that then take it from there to see if your fit/available as well as whoever plays our OOm game.

Played at Wallasey tonight against Andy (gregbwfc) and much love to Val for hosting. The rains gods were with us really given the forecast and conditions were ok. What a fabulous course, really enjoyed it and whilst I struggled getting the pace of the greens played reasonably well. I'm kinda glad it was wet though as at least you knew if you landed the green it wouldn't hop even further - course was in super nick.


Won't write a report as such but we had a great game, we were playing bogey golf and it was a case of who grabbed a par would win the hole. Indeed, after 3 holes Andy was 1up but with two par 5's whereby I got a shot over the next few holes I took advantage and net birdied both. After 7 I was 3 up but an NR on the 8th got Andy back within 2. On the turn I was back to 3up after a par on a par 3 but then came the charge....Back 9 and Andy started playin some solid stuff and even though he recorded a 5 on a par 3, he still won the hole...... By the 13th we were all square again and each shot had more importance to it, it started to feel like a real good match play game.


I managed to dampen the charge on 14 by going 1up, perfect timing given the solid stuff being played and we then halved the next two holes with a par and bogey each. So 1up, two to play....cue banter ! (He started it).


As Val will testify, the 17th is a monster hole, 448 off the yellows against the wind, hillside memories flooding back! Well we both played the hole badly, I sliced my tee shot meaning a completely blind shot up to the dogleg right corner which I duffed anyway (I was still about 230yrds away!). Andy meanwhile hit his best drive of the day with his trusty 3 wood and split the fairway. Being one down he chose to push the boat out and go for it but it was blind for Andy too and unusually he semi sliced his shot with a crap contact to tach and ended up in the links rough high on the mound. A prov was hit and after 4:59 secs we found his first ball (the prov went even further right). I laid up and Andy got it out the mire. Around the green and Andy was solid whereas I thinned what is normally a good shot for me and Andy ended up winning the hole with a 6, a proper screw up for me and great recovery for Andy. So......


One hole to play, all square. Mood was ace and the odd gentle bit of banter was exchanged during the walk to the tee. I told him that I was sooooo happy he was off first. So he split the fairway in two . Bugger, had to match it and thankfully we ended up 10 yards apart with Andy hitting first. So then what does he do....launches a mid iron to within 10 feet. Smashin'. I had a downslope lie so aimed slightly left and typically, hit it perfectly and sent it straight where I'd set up. I had to get up and down at least n two, whilst Andy had a 10ft for birdie and match..... It's not often a pussy doesn't distract me but in this occasion it didn't. It was a lovely pussy.... I chipped to about 5ft meaning Andy was putting for the match. He missed it by an inch or two which left me with a put to half the match and despite the attention of the local cat desperate for me to give it some love, held my nerve and holed the putt.


A very fair end to a very close and even match and even though either of us could have won it I think it's fair to say that we were both happy with a draw. Always a pleasure to play a round with Andy and despite him taking me on a magical mystery tour of inner city Wallasey wish him all the best for the rest of the comp, especially against Pete . And Val, thanks again for that, you've must be utterly delighted being a member there for the price paid!

Just a bump to remind players to pay their entry fee.

I think there about 8 left to pay. I don't want to have to mention names

Andy Greg, Jpenno,Karl - anyone fancy playing an OOM match on Sunday, or possibly one match next week (in the evening)?

If so, we can then ask to see who may be able to host - maybe Blundells, Houghwood, Chorley or whoever it's convenient for.

 

[jpenno]

I cant play Sunday as already committed to monthly medal and needs some qualifiers for club championship, I cant paly midweek until after 14 June

LB I assume this means you will not play on the hallowed turf this Sunday if you get a game elsewhere?

If this is the case then how do any of the following fancy doubling up and getting an OOM game done:
Peter Lav
Blue Wolf - if he has stopped being gay with his girly arms
Valentino
Jackbfc

Any offers I would prefer earlier than later but open to options - I have 2-4-1 vouchers we can use if required to go somewhere

 

[Birchy]

I think its time I got some matches in, so Birchy, Jocko, Qwerty, Huds, when are you free?,

Will sort our match out for after Inverness Louise. Where do you fancy playing it?

 

[Karl102]

Can't make this week sorry... Crazy busy...

Hey Podge mate, This weekend is a no go for me, but how about next week in the Evening? I'm off Mon-Thu so should be able to fit in a game there somewhere.. (Or PeterLav & JackBFC obviously )....:thup:

Not too bother where, I don't mind playing at yours.

 

[Birchy]

Can do that if you like? I don't mind if you would rather play it somewhere neutral though.

 

[Birchy]

Just a bump to chase those that are yet to pay entry fee.

Will start personally hunting you soon so get it sorted :rofl:

15th July (Tuesday evenings are good for me.) at Fairhaven would be great.. I do travel to Manchester and back everyday so it doesn't need to be that local to me.. But I have never played Fairhaven so would love to..

Will be at yours about 12ish tomorrow hopefully..........
