There is a space to make up a 4ball to play one of the iconic open courses.

If anybody wants to play let us know.

The cost is £145 which includes a bit of food, but I'll take £120.

The other 3 are Kaz, Liverbirdie and Gregbwfc. I hope the above names don't put you off

 

[NWJocko]

99% sure I'll take this big man, will confirm when back at work (and less rough!!) tomorrow :thup:

Should drag the standard of the 4 ball down a notch or 2 :rofl:

 

[bluewolf]

Thank god for that. I've been desperately trying not to pull the trigger on this. Just too much to organise to make it doable, but so so tempted.

The only real downside is that as soon as I start talking to Stuey, he starts trying to sell me my own irons back!!!!!

I reckon Steven Spielberg could turn this Saga into a film.

I'm starting to dare to dream this game might actually happen (sadly without stu but yay Iain!) but anything can still go wrong in the next fortnight....

No worries mate.

 

[NWJocko]

Sent Stu the money to cover his losses/add to his winnings from Cheltenham.....

Sincere apologies to Kaz, Pedro and Andy!!

Can't wait for this now, unexpected but welcome addition to my golf days this year

Welcome on board, skip.

No Scotland vs England matches though - you and Kaz could get a nett 59 between you.

 

[huds1475]

Have a great day tomorrow folks, hope the weather is kind

 

[louise_a]

Have a great day folks!

 

[Liverbirdie]

Thanks, all.

Cant wait. 25 years ago when I took up golf, I never thought for a million years I'd be able to play an open venue.

Weather looks ok, but windy enough to make it very testing. A lot better than the two big rain drops and 50 mph wind that was forecast for the original day, last year.

 

[Karl102]

How did you guys go on.....

 

[Liverbirdie]

How did you guys go on.....

34 points for NWhacker - yeah right.....

29 points for me

27 points for Kaz

26 points for Andy G

Loved the course and in great nick.

4 over gross for me on the front 9 for 17 points, was very satisfying, with a good run of pars in there. The rain came in for about 12 holes in the middle, and a 1/2/3 club wind was always about, but couldnt get going on the back 9, and had a few doubles. Birdie opportunities were very hard to come by, my closest was missing a four footer for birdie.

Me and Kaz were 3 up after 9, but they chipped away at us, and with Ian's birdie on 18, seen them two win it on the last.

I'll come back again on this deal, hopefully. Finally played it a year after the original date, but to play it with good friends is a great experience, shame our Stuey wasnt there, though.:thup:

Glad you all enjoyed it, shame about the weather though, i got caught in it while I was working outside.

I'll play it in the summer sometime.

 

[gregbwfc]

Great day out, weather could've been a lot worse tbh.
Not the place to be playing if you've not had much course time the last few months

Great company as ever - thanks to Pedro (and Stu initially) for arranging,Karen for coming all that way and giving us a putting masterclass.
And finally Iain for carrying me around to win on the last - poor lad's back must be killing him :lol:

Would be up for a return anytime when I'm able to :thup:

 

[huds1475]

Sounds good. Glad you all had a good one

Would love to play it this year before it hosts the Open.
