Well after playing the one of the best rounds ive ever had this morning i came back down to earth this afternoon after watching what i can only describe as the footbaling equivalent of Glyn. The most lifeless pathetic feeble display i have ever seen :D

It was a really enjoyable morning and the banter was top notch. Matt also played really well and is in some great form at the moment, he is one to watch for this season. Glyn didnt play that bad but he was playing in a tough school today :rofl:

Favourite moment of day was after 9 when we added up the scores, Matt 22, Me 23, Glyn 17. The night previous Glyn had sent me and Matt a message saying he was going to get 36 points and beat us both.

His face was a picture when i asked "Do you still think you are going to win with 36 points?" :rofl:

Finally getting back to how i was playing before i went awol last year! Putting better now too, still gutted i left two right on the edge today but cant have it all i suppose.

That's great golf Birchy, well played mate :cheers:

Not surprised the way you were hitting it the other week, good to see you back to the Birchy of old. :thup: I knew it was a mistake selling you that driver :whistle:

I thought Pedros score would be hard to catch and Birchy's blown it out the water!
 
37 points for me on the moist Walmersley ....... Was playing a bit short, but it was tough to get the ball to the hole putting !!! Great avo with Huds and Odvan. Cheers fellas.

What did you think of it Andy, or was it too difficult to say with the wet conditions?

I haven't played it for years but I played it a lot before the new holes were built.


Edit- Ignore that mate. Just seen your post on T'other thread

Impressive stuff by some of you guys, I expected your handicaps to tumble in the summer although don't forget you will be playing off the white tees then. ;)

It's ok mate...... It was playing quite short. Lots of quirky holes with doglegs and a few risk and reward short par 4's. Couple of nice par 3's as well. Need to give it a crack in Summer to be honest as the wetness did detract from it.....Stunning views though.

I take it by Andy's post they didn't score as well as he forgot to tell us what they didn't score :rofl:

Understand you're more interested in your man's score so will bore you with mine.

I was g*sh on the front nine, too much tom kite in my head helped me rack up a magnificent 11 points, including a blob and a flounce.

Cleared melon for back 9, played properly and pulled in 19 points.

Matt hitting a good ball off the tee today, Andy getting better every time we play. Has a magic hybrid in his bag now too :fore:

Must say Walmersley has bags of potential in better climes. Amazing views across to Wales and the Pennines. Definitely a "go-backerer"
 
The 13th is a great unique hole. Its a seriously tricky tee shot especially off the whites and when the wind is blowing which it usually is up there.
Saying that, I haven't played it since they put that great big whopping Wind Turbine at the back of the Green.

The par 3 after it isn't too bad also.
 
Walmersley certainly seems to be one of the few local courses open, I played it on Wednesday and although there were soggy parts it wasn't too bad considering the state of a lot of courses right now.

Its not the tees that make it easy its the soft greens imo.

Quite looking forward to summer all the same :D
 
Yup, it seems that my Sat Nav sent me to the gash end of Bury for some bizarre reason and therefore missed the first 2 holes.

Although extremely grateful to get out for a knock, it shouldn't have been open. They'll struggle to repair a lot of the areas either around tee boxes and/or green side - it was a mud bath in parts, just off the fairways, too.

That Par 3 was nice, shame it isn't longer than 111 (yellows). Course was very short but the walks between a lot of the tee boxes were doing mi nut in. I can imagine the greens will be very, very tricky in summer.

Cheers for round Andy, Craig, and once again apologies on behalf of the Germans.

And the bioms got an immediate clean and have come up just fine!

It was sodden today. I was surprised (but glad) it was open really.

Think i was 32 Dave, although I'm racking my brains as whether or not I actually got a 6 for 1 on the front 9 at some point rather than 5 for 2.

Having missed the first 2 holes, it was all about the fresh air for me!

It's not the easiest place to find is it.
I think its only about £620 subs, Great value if you live over that way.

My sat nav took me through a housing estate. The roads / pot holes leading up to the club could do with some work. They could do some serious damage.

There is something on the website about putting the postcode of a pub in rather than that of the club, because of sat navs having problems with the clubs postcode.
