[Birchy]

Hmmmm, just had lunch, proper athlete fuel... Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings with fried chillies and onions. Washed down with a Pepsi... Now, I just need to stay fuelled with dark chocolate Hob Nobs and Lucozade....

Pasty barm with a ribena for me. Some real athletes in that first group :rofl:

 

[Liverbirdie]

I'll be leaving at 2, I'll do whatever regards the main comp, and dont mind leaving my OOm card for another time Greg. I'll come up with Stu another time.

See you all later.

I think I've found qwerty's old hat.

Only two im not 100% on are Karl and Greg.

Glad i didnt put my card in, i played dreadful

P.S Liverbirdie came second in the overall open after being paired with a local ringer the lucky (insert appropriate expletive).

Really nice course and a great day enjoyed by all.

 

[garyinderry]

super day out in the sunshine today! what a course and thanks to greg for his hospitality :thup:

 

[garyinderry]

when are we going back? when the other scouse lads are going to do their cards let me know!


thought our evening tee off time was perfect. some of the holes on the back 9 with the sun going down was breathtaking !

 

[peterlav]

Nice course, lovely weather, good days golf in the company of Danny, Scott & Robin. Thanks to Greg for organising today, I'm always up for any team comps anyone wants to play in.

Congratulations to Liverbirdie for falling on his feet in being paired with the local bandit, coming 2nd in the Pairs Comp and receiving a nice voucher, although I still took him for £2 (again!)

 

[Birchy]

Just to elaborate on yesterday now im a bit more awake.

Well done to Greg for organising, did a cracking job :thup:

Thanks to Robin, Peter and Danny for the superb company on the day. Really enjoyed it and had a good laugh despite playing terrible .

P.S Hope the arm gets sorted Danny

 

[Fish]

Very nice overall course with some visually stunning and quirky holes, excellent weather, great company with Peter, Danny & Scott, worth the trip just to watch Peter off the tee, such a great controlled drive.

Congratulations to Peter (Liverbirdie) who claimed he couldn't put, would like to see the split on their card with the local gringo

Would definitely go back, as like many courses, I would play it better (possibly) the next time when you know where your going.

Started of OK but then drifted in the middle and then had a much better closing back 9, what's this about the last 4 holes being card wreckers, birdie putting and gross pars on some for me

Curry and a pint possibly wasn't the best pre-round appetiser but it was very nice all the same.

Well done and thank you to Greg for organising, faultless :clap:

Started & finished with the same ball :thup:

Well done LB, you really got lucky with Stu pulling out. Was a great day with Peter, Scott and Robin. I was actually playing OK until I had to retire on the 6th. Going to the Docs today, but it does look like at least a month on the sidelines. Maybe more. Perfectly timed, just as the sun comes out!!!!!

Greg, it's a lovely course mate, I'd love to play the full 18 at some point later in the year. Really picturesque.

 

[louise_a]

sounds a cracking course, looking forward to playing it.

I only played the front nine

Not really, had an absolute shocker, but the company and the course was excellent. Would love to give it another crack when I have found a swing.
Lots of credit needs to go to Andy for a heck of a lot of organising and being a top quality host....

Can I just add, there was a serious lack of flat caps on parade Has this criteria now fell away, disappointed if it has as I worked hard to find one to fit my head and had been practising with it on at my club to much banter having to be absorbed

Let us know which days are best for you Andy and I'll organise a day to get my card done for oom

I had a note from my doctor, I was ok to warm up in it, but leather in 20 degree heat, just doesn't work.

More to follow....the butty van has just arrived.:clap::clap::clap::clap:

I wish LB would of worn his all day, that's possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen on a golf course. His playing partner didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw it on the 1st

Massive thanks to Andy for doing a great job putting the day together and hosting us yesterday at what was a really impressive course/club. I really enjoyed it mate,thanks :thup:

Also thanks to Karl and Gary, great company as always lads :thup:

I thought it was a really strong golf course, a very good test and one I'd certainly like another crack at, for the guys that havnt played it, your in for a treat.

Well done LB on the 2nd place. Can you keep hold of that Crackin' tea cosy, I reckon I could get some use out of it next Winter
Also, we really need to get a picture of you on Here wearing your cap. I won't say too much and give the game away but it really is hilarious :thup: Imagine the looks if we all turned up wearing one of them? :rofl:

I had mine on... I took it off on the third in fear of eating it after putting 2 balls oob.

Mine had an outing at Machrihanish and was proudly displayed (and mocked) on the first tee yesterday.
