Moved it forward a wee bit to 17.12.

Long range forecast is for a shower, long way off yet though.

Edit, I've booked a fourball if anyone else fancies joining up?

Val, Jack you both still ok for tomorrow?

I'll be there about 4.45 or so. I'm the one missing 3 footers on he practice green :)

Weather looks good, wee bit if breeze and dry. Looking forward to getting back out.

Still a spare slot if anyone fancies making up a 4?

Yes, absolutely. Looking forward to playing the course. Hope i can take todays form into tomorrow!!!
 
Sounds like tonights match could be interesting :D

Are we having hole by hole updates with video replays via phone uplink? :rofl:
 
Suppose i best put our match details here seen as jack only posts here.

I won 2up at Fairhaven tonight hosted by the gent IainNWJ in a tough wind with some light rain coming and going.

4 down at the turn after a great front 9 from Mick, 42 to the turn (6 over) not bad for first time playing the course off 19.

I rallied on the back 9 playing steady stuff, 43 (6 over).

Points, 68 for me and 38 for Mick (JackBFC).

Thaks for the game Mick and Iain.

Thanks for the game fella's!

Great course I have not had the pleasure to play before despite driving past hundreds of times!

The wind, the rough and the deep bunkers made it a tough test!

As is plain to see from the card that I manged to play really well in the front nine then wilted under the 'matchplay pressure' on the back nine! Playing some tired shots and being punished for them!

Still a good game with decent chaps, who I hope to join on some future meets as the tales from previous outings sounded entertaining!!!!!

I need to be able to handle the pressure when the going gets tough! Bring on the next one!
 
Well played gents! A fine example of the matchplay rollercoaster there!

Not surprised you both enjoyed the course, its a cracker :thup:
 
That scoring has confused me ? 5 points for a par ? Have a missed something :mmm:

Matchplay format with 5 points for winning a hole and 2 points for a half. 20 points for winning the match.

Keeps something riding on every hole and forms the rankings for the final. Bit like fedex cup ranking points etc.

Its an interesting mix of links feel fairways, rough and bunkers. With some big trees to negotiate and a couple of distinct parkland feel holes.

I would like to give it another go when its not so windy;) I need to get my HC down far enough to get in our HC team and then get to play Fairhaven, Lytham St annes and St annes old links...;)

Welcome anytime Jack, just give me a shout when you fancy a game :thup:

Cheers for coming down last night gents, a good game to watch! You both played some pretty admirable stuff as the wind and rain made it very difficult last night, especially as its rock hard and the right being up :clap:
 
Cheers NWJ..

I will happily host similar match at Green Drive if anyone is interested from another group...

Or if you just fancy a knock of an evening, let me know...
