NW Forum meet Wallasey Sunday 12th October

Great day out spoiled only by my golf.
Great company,nice to meet vikingman.
Congrats to LB,awesome knock mate.
Many thanks to Val and Birchy for yesterday and Birchy for keeping this going.
Take a bow mate,hope we can do it again next year.

Anyone thinking about joining in - get in.
Best laugh you'll have on a golf course, great bunch of lads.
 
Hard to add to whats already been said, thanks for the company on the day Duffers, Dave (qwerty) and Nick (yerman) for the company on the day, great round by Dave as usual, recovered very well poor start by his standards.

I'm glad you all enjoyed your day at Wallasey, it truly is a great golf course and the condition yesterday for the time of year was excellent not to mention zero wind made it less of a slog than it can be, I enjoy it more and more every time I play it and it's easy to take it for granted but I do enjoy it when I bring guests and they talk so well of the course.

As far the OOM itself, im sure everyone agreed the format worked well this year. The idea was always to have everyone with something to play for in the final day and even being well down the leaderboard a good round on the final could get you in the prizes as was proven yesterday by me of all people propelling up into 4th from way back with my round yesterday.

Onto the thanks, ultimately BIRCHY and I worked on the format for the season and the final but Scott did the lions share of work collecting cash and keeping everyone informed of any changes and pushing everyone to get their matches in, Scott from all of us thanks a bunch buddy, we wouldn't be where we are without your efforts :thup:

I would also like to say a big thanks to EVERYONE who played in the OOM, the success lies on everyone participating and hopefully seeing how it progressed from last year into this year and how our finale went it whets the appetite for next year and brings us some new faces, don't by shy guys please get involved, it's a great way to meet new faces and play new courses, spread the word guys, the more involved the more interesting it becomes.

Special thanks to the guys outwith the OOM who played on the day, Paul, Dave and Dave the Badger who left at stupid oclock from Ashford to get up, glad you enjoyed it pal and not forgetting Junior who is a regular on the NW circuit but didn't compete in this years OOM, maybe next year again Andy?

Massive congrats to our new champ LIVERBIRDIE, an awesome way to put everyone to the sword on the last day, well deserved for that alone, im sure we'll see some interesting additions to the trophy :rofl:

Fantastic pictures Louise, they really do the course justice.

Well said, them pictures are fantastic. Really enjoyed the course again. Played it twice now and both teams ive really enjoyed it the challenge. Got a great variety of holes for a links course too.
 
Yesterday was such a pleasure. Links golf at times can put your head in a spin with the wind. Trying to think how you are going to pay the shot with the wind blowing you around. With no breeze at all, you could hear everyone as they dandered down the fairway. They could easily call you if needing a hand to look for their ball. It just made for an all round good day. The scoring proved as much.

I enjoy the wind on a links for a test at times bit yesterday was a wee bit special. Taking in the views basking in sunshine.

Really enjoy Wallasey's really fair par 3's. All are attackable off the yellows apart from the last which is mighty tricky. Good to have one of those in there too.
 
Bit late up with the thanks but great work by Val and birchy organising a cracking day. :thup:
Course, weather and company was top notch as you can see from the pics above well worth a visit.
Some cracking golf played as well not only by LB but PL too and teamed together they well and truly kick butt in our side match.

Thanks for hosting us yesterday Val. It's a fantastic course and everytime I go there I ponder for weeks after about whether I should enquire for membership. If it was just 15 minutes closer . . . . . .

Work permitting I'll sign up to the OOM next year. It would have been too hard to get away to play midweek this Summer with playing for the club team aswell.

Louise, thanks for sharing the pics - they are superb.
 
Brilliant mate :rofl::thup:

Cheers mate.. :thup:

@Val, just to reiterate what I said yesterday. Wallasey was quite simply superb. Every hole was different and quite often I'd hit what I thought was a good shot, only to find my way blocked by some really clever course design. The icing on the cake was the fact that we played it in T Shirts in the middle of October.. I loved it mate...:thup:
