In Birchy's parlance praccy balls are actually "pearl/AAA" lake balls.
Like the type you'd find on Silloth's beach, after a NWJocko power draw....

Sad to say that the umbrella was got by the dog. He is not now wearing it internally as he's a good dog & my best friend... those who know my golfing calendar will understand this. So I have some Strixons but not Zs. I don't know the smilie the dog gave me so this Will have to do. ;-)
Wayman .. Craig is rapidly become a best friend as he's now a 4 times playing partner in 4 weeks. May even get his chipping in order by final round.

You know me LB, I'll happily spray the ball anywhere with a driver :ears:
Surely we can't get that unlucky with the weather again.....! Front 9 last year was the hardest 9 holes I've ever played in that wind. Between the 4 of us we only had about 35 points in total!!

Special mention to Hogieefc for his 37 points yesterday! Awesome shooting around that tough course. Won the day by a landslide :thup:

Well its back to reality now,back on nights tonight after a great weekend of golf,many thanks to Birchy for all his organising and to all who supplied prizes etc.
Very happy with my score yesterday after struggling around Silloth on saturday,i actually found it a bit easier at Southerness,probably as it wasn`t quite as hilly so a bit easier on my dodgy knees.

That really was a great score around there yesterday mate :thup: is there a tougher course than Southerness in the country? I'd say its the toughest Ive played.

I was explaining to my friends last night that you walk down the 1st with ob left and right. the same at the 2nd ob left and right. you can look around 360 degrees and struggle to see any other holes. the course snakes around rather than passing back past itself over and over. truly something I've not come across before.
with it being so flat there is no let up from the wind. I played better golf on sunday, kept it in play for the majority of holes and scored 7 points worse than the Saturday. I had a sloppy few holes to finish but that's no excuse.
birdies were at a premium on sunday. I didn't have a sniff of one!

Think we had similar rounds looking at the scores! I played some decent stuff on Sunday, for 25 points! Found it challenging for sure, anything offline punished severely and don't mention the bunkers! Grrr!
PS. Thanks for breakfast! :thup:

no problem
funny thing was, I don't think I was in a bunker all weekend! hooks aplenty Saturday.
kept it low Sunday with punchy hybrids and 3 wood. the driver didn't come out till the 16th. as expected a big hook found the worst brambles on the course. lost ball. left myself long approaches so nay chance of getting them close!
the greens were hard to judge as they were not lightening quick to putt on but they were very hard so chips just bounced and rolled on. I over hit many chips.

Our group didnt really hole anything outside 6ft. I thought the greens were tough to read. I imagine in the Summer that they are brutal!!
