RFGC Open. Sunday 24th January

Good day out at the majestic Royal Fleetwood today. Shame they only had 16 holes open. The wind was also brutal! Actually didn't think it was all that bad (sorry Danny). Greens and fairways in good nick given the deluge we have had.
Great game with Gary and Dave. Me and Gaz were steady (29), but Davey Mc (not to be off 21 soon!) ripped it up with 35 points.
We took the team prize just against the other lot. Dave was in joint 3rd overall when I left!
Was good to get out! Gonna book a pitching lesson with Gary though!!!

Go Davie La.

Make sure you post that score in your custom fit thread!
 
Well played Dave lad.

Any news as to whether you ended up in the prizes?

And just as important, what were everyone else's scores, who took the NW spoils and who spoilt there keks?
 
Good to see some of the regular faces out and about for this one. Good turnout considering it's a bit out on a limb.

Thought the course was decent enough but conditions today weren't easy. A few of the shortened tees were a bit crap and a shame the course had two holes shut. Would be nice to play it off the proper tees when the weather picks up. I thought The greens today were abysmal which was obviously a lot down to the weather.

Well played to winner Davie Mac, 35 is a superb score around there today. That wind early on was brutal and made life very tricky! Hope you didn't go the bookies on the way home :D
 
Good day in the wind out there today. Wasn't easy. The short par 3s I found really tough to club. Couldn't buy a putt a day. Bumpy greens didn't help but expected at this time of year.

No doubt the course looks a lot different with the rough grown up. Winter non rough lets you off with wayward shots. Just as well for me tbh. Some tough stroke indexes today with that odd wind.

Davey played super stuff today. That srixon hybrid was working a treat. Hit some beauties. The sound of quality strike from his pitches was apparent. Not something you usually find with a 20 handicap. Not for long chap. Mini driver going well too. Keep it up.

Good to play with Karl again. He knows himself he is leaking shots from inside 100. He could easily be 5/6 shots better today without doing much special. Will be happy to help you improve in this area. Its about the only thing I do well and saves my bacon every round.

I hit my first half decent drawn drive for quite some time today. Need to get back to trusting aiming right. Really enjoyed any chip and pitch today as the greens were really receptive. Checky days. Great fun.

Glad Davey got the job done as we feared the birchy 40point plus train was going to keep on rolling.
 
Nice club, superb welcome and a decent enough course. Wind was brutal and I struggled on the greens also. I enjoyed the holes 'along the wall' and will have to get back there in the summer. Cheers to Stu and Andy....we all played pretty decent .....sorry I let the twos club down lads :)

Enjoyed the day and it was great to see everyone !!
 
Loved today, its not easy being crap yet wanting so much to be part of the nw brethren. Cant fault the lads up here, ive been taken in and felt accommodated by all. Best set of lads on the forum. Thanks to you all. :thup:

Enough of the oscar speech and onto today; opening drive went oob, as did provisional. Which is a horrendous start, yet I was well happy with the strikes. Proved a thing to come as I hit the mini as good as I could of a lot of the time. Arl scabby 7 wood continually did its thing until I started raving about it. Felt like I got away with some dodgy irons, pitching and chipping has been better of late. Putting was a lottery, although I cant remeber
missing any within 4 feet.

Karls an absolute monster off the tee, off the floor and anywhere else! As soon as he stops chipping like a dick then look out!!

Gary, is a real steady eddy, with a short game to purr over. Fires balls at the flag, how they stop is beyond me??

Loved today fellas, thanks very much x

Enjoyed that. Just glad to get out to be honest. Well done to all - it was tough going in that wind. Thanks to Dave for setting the ball rolling and to Stu and Andy for putting up with me. Great company as ever. And congrats to Dave on doing the nw bunch proud.

Which two holes were closed?

13 & 14 Dave. It was in good nick to be fair.

£16 for a two isn't bad neither, it'll cost me more to go and collect it :angry:
