Royal St Georges - Tuesday 23rd February 2016

[Fish]

Given that Fish was measuring to the flag with a laser , and I was using my skycaddie, with substantial difference of opinion, I merely suggested the accuracy of skycaddie might not be all it's cracked up to be? I at least had the grace not to make the comment during his backswing. (I may not say a lot, but I usually know what to say when I know it will hit the start button ... )

With the greens being so large and you only having front middle & back and with the flag being 4 yards in from the back on a huge green, how on earth can you compare and question a yardage?

And then I got my caddie out and proved the point.

Did you hit the green 😜

At least I didn't winge about hitting a wrong ball and trying to blame someone for not declaring what their provisional was 😂😂

It was a forum classic. Perfect timing said with a glint in your eye, and a smirk on your lips.:thup:

The real highlight of dinner of course was Richarts suggestion that Reading could venture into the FA Cup Final - oh how we all laughed, he is such an accomplished comedian!

I believe I was the only one who was pin high. (I may not have been on the green but i was the only one who wasn't lurking 30yds short of the flag)

I said semi final. Has nursey changed your meds ?

 

[Deleted member 1418]

I did, and I gave my bacon roll to Pieman, as he was looking a bit under nourished.

I was feeling a bit under the weather so it was medicinal......:cheers: It tasted nearly as good as my first one......

Great couple of days though. Would love to play both courses in the summer though.

 

[wookie]

I also had another cracking day out made all the better by having great company on the course during a good match and particularly Chrisd's putt on the last as described above and reaction to it from BiM

I called RSG today to see if I could get any sort of refund for Sainthacker but unfortunately was met with a flat "no".

As I was on the phone anyway I checked regarding next year and have provisionally booked a similar slot for 28th February just on the off chance anyone fancies it.

Who was it asked if anyone had any cup final tickets then?

Superb. We're booking rounds of golf 370 days in advance now? That puts even the Trump boys to shame. I'm in too!

We're doing Littlestone on the Sunday to make it three days in 2017, right? I think we have to wait to about September or so to book the 2017 version for RCP though.

On the refund front, RCP were a lot more relaxed, they only charged me on the day what I told them they should charge. Which means that that anyone hydrophobic or injured or suffering from man-flu will get their money back once I get a chance to sort it out. Less the round of teas that they bought for everyone .

 

[anotherdouble]

Can I play next year please

 

[chrisd]

I'm in as well

 

[Blue in Munich]

I'm in as well

And me.

Edit; I've just mentioned the date to Mrs BiM, who reminded me that the chosen day will be 30 years to the day that we met. I was asked if that would make any difference to my plans; apparently the offer of a night in the King's Head and the opportunity to caddie for me was the wrong answer, and I hadn't even mentioned the bit about the sign that said "No dogs, no women".

Blundell and I are definite yes! RCP and Littlestone as well!

Glad you can make it Dustin!

Can everyone get their names down quickly please so I can PM Simon to say who I don't want to be partnered with? Although if I have a similar night in the Kings Head then I'll probably end up forgetting my tee time anyway and end up in a different group...........

Pretty normal meet for you then Paul

 

[Swingalot]

I'm in next year boys. Must admit a small part of my evil side cursed the weather as I sat at work on Tuesday knowing you lot were chopping your way round RSG.

I find it quicker to just let Simon know who I will play with. Blundell took my 'don't want to's' up to 14 from memory.:rofl:

Told Blundell I'd put our names down. His response "I may not like you next year". My liver has already started hoping!!
