Re: Fathers Day June 16th

the handicap range is pretty close I see

5.3
6.1
8
19

what are the odds on me scoring 30+

Doubt we will be off the back tees. More likely the whites. Not too many places allow you to play off the tips unless you are a member.

Don't forget, according to their website, h'cap certs are required...

I could be in trouble then. I hadn't looked at it and I can't get one now. I can show them me on masterscoreboard or the EGU website though.

Oh, happy to play as far back as they'll allow too, but it might be a bit harsh on f_t, no offence intended Robert.

Should be OK, Gary, if you tell them your CDH number.

Re: Fathers Day June 16th

I haven't got a handicap certificate but always carry my England Golf card which shows my CDH number, so I would imagine that will suffice.

Another cut on the cards after todays event, 0.3 atm, but css may rise which would take me down to 18, I'm going back tot he club tonight to find out.

Re: Fathers Day June 16th

If it does say handicap certificates required, just in case why don't you guys pre-warn them that you've got your cdh cards / numbers, but not actual handicap certificates?

Re: Fathers Day June 16th

Certificates, we don't need no stinking certificates!

Were never asked for them last time. just want to now what club you play at when you sign in is all.

Re: Fathers Day June 16th

Thanks to Cameron, Brian, and Gary for your company today. I didn't finish last which is about the only positive to come from my game today.

Enjoyed the course and the company.

Re: Fathers Day June 16th

I was last with 26pts and didn't deserve that many!

Thanks guys for your company today. Even though my golf was somewhere south of dreadful I really enjoyed the day.

Re: Fathers Day June 16th

Good day, good company, good course - and the pork pie was excellent!

Re: Fathers Day June 16th

Final scores;

cameronroy 32pts
hobbit 28pts
full_throttle 27pts

Right Gary, now that the disappointment of not playing well on Sunday has maybe receded. Hollinwell, Sherwood Forest and Woodhall Spa are broadly similar heathland courses. Putting aside the fact that you played beautifully at Sherwood Forest and pants at Holinwell, how do you rate the 3 courses in comparison to each other. I would be interested to hear.

Well now, what a question! I'll answer as best as I can, but obviously these things are subjective and lots of people will disagree with me.
I've come to the conclusion that my own course ratings are based purely on the variety and challenge of the holes. I don't mind what the clubhouse, staff or food is like, it's all about the course.

so with that in mind, my enjoyment of each goes...

1. Sherwood
2. Woodhall
3. Hollinwell

What might be influencing my judgement, although I can't be sure, is my expectations of each. I'd read all the hype about Woodhall and Hollinwell before I went but nothing about Sherwood.

What about you Jim?

Well, in my mind it's very close to a 3-way tie, but, if pushed, I would go:

1. Woodhall
2. Hollinwell
3. Sherwood

I would be happy finishing my playing days exclusively at any of the three.
