On the Move (hopefully)

[HawkeyeMS]

The next month or so could be interesting. Having recently moved to a different job, we are now moving house which brings with it a change of golf club so I will be leaving Homer and the "Heath of Dreams" we call RAGC and joining Richart at Blackmoor.

It's going to be sad to leave RAGC, I've met a lot of good guys there in the last 4 years and the course itself, while not everyone's cup of tea, has improved dramatically in the last 18 months and it challenges me every week I play.

It is however not a patch on Blackmoor. I attended an Open Day there on Saturday which means the 1% of me that wasn't convinced has now voted "yes". Richart has given me the lowdown and kindly offered to introduce me to his roll-up crowd (as Homer did when I joined RAGC; the GM forum comes through yet again :thup which will make settling in much easier.

All I have to do now is keep my fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly with the house move.

Once you leave ragc that's it we will never let you back in. If you do get in we're not going to tell you the code for the gate lol. Good luck with the house move hope it all goes smoothly. I agree with you so much on how much the course has come in the past 18 months too.:cheers:

Good luck with the house move.
I would love to be a member of Blackmoor,cant wait to play there again Sunday.

It's always hard leaving a club, but If I was ending up at Blackmoor I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.

We too are looking at a move but luckily it's close enough to stay out for the mean time with planned areas, if this changes a change of club may be on the cards to, but it's a last resort.

Good luck with the move Mike, plenty of courses to choose from in the area and you've picked a good one. Obviously if you wanted to join a really good club you're not too far away from Hayling

good luck Hawkeye

Ah Blackmoor - the second best course on the Surrey/Hants borders area

Cracking track - you'll love it there I am sure.

Good luck and what a positive outcome being able to join Blackmoor, a superb course I would never tire of playing :thup:

Good luck and throughly enjoy playing at Blackmoor

Cracking course and still can't believe I lived there for 6 years and not once played a round of golf there or anywhere in the area

Good luck. I suppose Homer will be in mourning. Have you both broken in a suitable candidate to be his new pairs partner.

I can see them all running for cover as we speak...

Well you won't go too far wrong with Blackmoor, good luck with the move as well

 

[Smiffy]

Well you won't go too far wrong with Blackmoor,

I hope he plays the 5th better than I do.
I must have played Blackmoor a dozen times and I don't think I've ever scored a point on that bloody hole.
I hate it. Absolutely hate it.
If ever I had a "bogey" hole it is the 5th at Blackmoor.
:angry:

Ah ...... The 5th ........ A strange hole that! An absolute right angle dog leg, never seen many quite like that!

Just looked at my card, the dogleg to the right just doesn't suit me at all, I was lucky to scab a point though :smirk:

I hit a hybrid to position A, 6 iron just short left and contrived to take 4 to get down!

 

[Smiffy]

I've hit enough good drives down to the corner and given myself a sight of the green.
But it doesn't matter what I try to do, I always (always) end up topping my second bloody shot into the ditch that runs across in front of you.
I've tried going for the green, I've tried playing it safe and just knocking something lofted over there and play it like a par 5 (if I walked off that green with a 5 for 2 I'd be happy) but I do it every time.
It has really got to me now.
As has the following par 3. Although I have parred that a few times (normally by playing a decent chip from short right!).
Funny how on some courses a hole or two can "get to you"

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Rescue just short of ditch

5 iron to 10ft

Two putt par

I like the 5th but then I can't think of a hole I don't like.
