North west OOM 2014

I'm currently available tomorrow, Sunday, poss Monday and Wednesday this week for an oom game. I think I've still got to play gregbwfc,Karl and j penno in my group. Anyone game at a neutral venue or somewhere we'Ve both played. Hough wood,blundells hill and poss Wallasey might be available as a neutral venue,hosts availability permitting. If not this week, what about the following week midweek? Gregbwfc will have first dibs for an hour or so, as he pm'ed me.
 
Liverbirdie - I have just played your course with Odvan in our OOM match,We also met scouser on the way round.

I am not know free until Middle/end of July due to holidays, would like to play Blundells Hill if Vikingman can host and think Odvan would be happy to make up a fourball.

Had a good round at Lee Park, two birdies, plenty of pars but had a nightmare 9 on 16th oob of the tee then trying to avoid that stuck in the trees on the left, I finished 2 under new handicap ;-) and won 2 & 1, some excellent shots played by Odvan particularly to the greens, pity for him his driver wasnt always doing what he wanted.

I was very impressed with the course and hope to be playing there again soon, so If anyone else in the group fancies a game there

You have my sympathies, mate.

OK - sounds good to me.

16th can be a card wrecker. So Matt played close to his new handicap also then? :)

Anytime fella, enough of us to host or if you just fancy a knock again.

As John posted, I wrapped up my group games by hosting at my place, whilst John made his debut.

Both playing off new handicaps, it was clear to see who had to adapt and who was on a rich vain of form. After 5 holes John had raced away to 3up, utilising 2 of his shots very well indeed and whilst I pulled 2 back soon after, at the turn I was back to 2 down. At this point in time, John was just net 4 over so knew the back 9 was gonna be just as tough.

Over the next 6 holes we halved 5, the other going to JP meaning that I was 3 down with 3 to play. Having been a victim on many occasion to our 16th's OOB I watched John suffer the same fate off the tee and a glimmer of hope was borne. A real shame on Johns round was this hole as it really did tear up an impressive card and even though I had my work cut out, still had a chance the draw the match. But then it all changed.....

......I bumped into Scouser. It freaked me out and I could no longer focus :D

And because of scousers face putting me off, I proceeded to hit the greenside bunker on the 17th before thinning it out, to the back of the 1st green.....game over.

Was a pleasure meeting and playing with yet another forummer and a word of warning to the rest of my group, John drove the ball long and accurately and putts with minimal fuss, with a lot of conviction. On tonights showing, whoever got him the auction has quite simply, a bargain! Well played, thoroughly deserved :thup:.

Final points tally Odvan 34 vs JPenno 69 (inc 20 win points). Will pm the card for validation Birchy.
 
I am available Monday or Tuesday this week if anyone is free then.

Im keeping off golf for next 4-5 days after Yesterday :D

How you fixed for week commencing 30th June? Can maybe get 4 of us from our group together for matches somewhere?
 
Ok, losers sorry...........fellow competitiors in my group

Peter and Podge, do you want to play me at Wallasey?

Danny - Maybe get Birchy to host us at Bolton?

Jack - Iain has said he can host us at Fairhaven

I'm available as follows currently

14/15th July after 4.30 but would suggest as it's open week Wallasey might not be an option
30/31st July after 4.30
13/14th Aug after 4.30
27/28th Aug after 4.30

Speak up gents, 8 dates for 4 games.

Val, I have never played Wallasey (that I can remember) so would happily take one of the 30/31 July dates if others want a knock plus I am on leave by then so can play any time
