Re: "Official" Woburn booking thread....

Makes sense to me, Rob. :)

perfect sense :)

Pleased about that, because it didn't to me!!

There can be a bit of swapping around if you want, but I think we will have to limit it to groups that are playing fairly close together. So if a couple in the morning first group want to put themselves in the second group in the afternoon it shouldn't cause too much of a problem.
I'll most probably draw the names out of the hat sometime over the week-end (as I haven't got a game on Sunday) and will post up during the week-end. I'll remove the names of the guys that have asked for a later tee time and group them together at the end. I apologise in advance to anybody that is drawn out to play with me......:eek::eek::eek:

Hi Smiffy,

Hopefully I can 'stake my claim' tee-time wise before you work out the groupings.

A later time would help as I'll be driving to Woburn on the day itself - about a two hour run for me. Many thanks!

Re: "Official" Woburn booking thread....

Played the Marquess today and it just reconfirmed my belief that it's one of the best courses out there...simply gorgeous!!!

Played off the white tees, ( 6744 yards...and they were right at the back..).....wet fairways after the rain yesterday so no roll, ( managed to get back spin on my driver...... :eek: ) and a strong wind.......

scored a very respectable 31 points which doesn't sound too impressive until you see my playing partners scores....

me 14/17 = 31 (handicap 9)
John 13/10 = 23 (handicap 11)
Dean 14/9 = 23 (handicap 5)
Greg 11/10 = 21 ( handicap 8)

Just to embarrass him, Dean scored a 13 on the 12th hole, ( put 5 balls in the water from 50 yards! :eek: )

The distances from greens to tee are quite long so expect a fairly slow round for this course........can't wait for this meet..... :whoo:

I was contemplating bailing on this due to impending wedding costs...but you've just made me change my mind! knob!

Plus I've already booked the day's holiday from work :whoo:

Roll on March!

6744 yards....Might not bother taking the driver then...:whistle:
With us being a society, I'd be surprised if they let us go from the whites....not sure if Smiffy has asked...the yellows are still a respectable 6329......

Re: "Official" Woburn booking thread....

Re: "Official" Woburn booking thread....

I played the marquess off the yellows on Friday. It was fine. A nice course, but a bit wet. It didn't help it was persisting down though. Enjoyed it, but not the best course I have played. Thought it was a bit open. Would recommend it though. No White tees out, just yellows.

Also played the duchess. Very nice. Tight drives, nice layout. Would definitely play it again. Preferred it to the marquess. Better greens. Still wet though.

Had 32 points round the marquess in foul conditions. Didn't keep score round the duchess, but I played pretty well all day. Must have done, I kept the same ball for both rounds.

I'm looking forward to this should be a very good but tough 36 holes.
