Last Day of Summer - a cracking Open at Tidworth. Details on the link below - but essentially £30 for Bacon Roll and Coffee on arrival - golf (with prizes in hcp divisions) and a rolling buffet when you finish.

Hmmmm tempting, quite a pleasant little course and not too far from home.

I could be keen if you get enough

DD - The Open is definitely on - 40 or so signed up I believe - and judging by recent events, it should be good. Pro Am was 40 + four balls. Will be a cracking days Golf - and a proper feed too! Guaranteed.

I was referring to people from here going, people that I can turn up and say hi to that have spoken to me, rather than me sit around like a lemon like I normally do if I don't know anyone haha

I'll see if my mate fancies it, looks a lovely course.

I've just spoken to the organiser and put my name down for this, played it only once many years ago so looking forward to going back.

El Bandito.......mine's a pear cider mate :thup:

Oh.....and HID is coming to caddy, vodka and orange for her please


Teeing off around midday, think 12:10 to be precise.

I would love to say I played in this today but I think it would be more accurate to say I walked round marking my PP's card. Enjoyed the course and the company but my golf really was shocking.

That's a shame mate I found the views on the course over the first 12 holes quite stunning.
How did the course play?

I enjoyed it as well, amazing to be playing in such glorious weather in the last week of October. Played with two guys from Waterlooville GC who were good company, plenty of banter, and all three of us thought the course was in good nick. The stretch either side of the turn (7-8-9-10-11) in particular was very good I thought, a lovely set of holes. I'll be looking out for this one next year for sure, maybe we could get a few from here to go? It's excellent value, £30 for bacon roll, entry, and a meal afterwards (which was pretty good actually)

As for my golf, a story of what might have been . Let myself get too tired late on, I realised afterwards I'd hardly drunk anything on the way round. Which led to several dropped shots on the closing stretch including a horrible hook out of bounds on the 16th, I got a par with the second ball but those two shots would have put me in 2nd place overall according to the scores showing on the board in the bar, lifting me from 35 to 37 points. Still pretty happy though with that score off the competition tees on a new course.

Playing well Tony, greens were very receptive and running well for the time of year. I really can't blame the course for my paltry 28pts, I just hit too many poor shots.

Is this a wind up?


Glad you all had a nice day, was thinking about coming along but didn't have an opportunity this time around. Sounds like I missed a good day.

Nope, those were the ones we commented on in our group. They're probably not the most challenging or even interesting on the course but good views and I do like downhill holes, which is 7-8-9.

8 and 9 are not bad holes but 7, 10 and 11 are not for me. I'm not sure a few tank tracks on a hill are my idea of good views but each to their own!

12 and 13 are a couple of cracking holes for me and 3, 4 and 5 are a nice little run too.

Well played, sounds like you had a nice round.

I thought you were gonna attend mate:thup:

I've only played it once, but I liked 8/9/12/13/16&17

I'd gladly go back there again, only if they promise not to put any on the pins right on the front

I look forward to debating the 16th and 17th at Tidworth tomorrow mate!

I was going to try and pop along but had to get a medal round in my place as it counted towards the order of merit, started with an 8!

Did it get better? Or was the 10 footer for an 8 the highlight?

It's a nice valley that on 16, nice use of the natural topography:thup:
