Royal St Georges - Tuesday 23rd February 2016

Maybe best gross Rich :thup:

I did say I wanted to play medal. Quite pleased to play the round with the same ball, even if I did hit Jerry's provisional as well. No I didn't lose it for him.

Did I get best overall score for the two days ?:mmm:

Best score over two days would be yours as well :thup:

That's a good two days of golf

So if I hadn't played the wrong ball, and had a two shot penalty I would have won.

If I knew there was any sort of comp on I'd have played a lot more sensible for the entire back 9!

Didn't your partners tell you ? Sound like typical forumers then.

Solid front 9 for me playing bogey golf to turn with 16 points, only had 1 annoying blob on the 9th as I found an unseen bunker which just for a change wasn't GUR!
The back 9 was pretty much the same, I had a little wobble on 12, 13 & 14 only picking up 2 points from the 3 holes, the 13th I just didn't know where to drive to and indecision crept in and a good duck hook followed to see my ball head into the tall grass mounds that were blocking any view of the fairway and ensured I donated my 1st and only ball to the course that day
I got it back together then with nice back to back pars on 16 & 17 and just lipped out for a par on 18 for 17 points on the back giving me 33 points, and enough to sit in the winner's enclosure :whoo:

That's boring enough to go in a blog.

First I heard about it was when someone said 'I need £5 for the pot'😂

That was the start of a whip for the breakfast you shouldn't have had!

There was breakfast at RSG ? Missed that, and also at RCP where someone ate mine.

No there wasn't Sam was ushered into the room with the Murphy's lot who were having breakfast included. The Secretary tried to do the same with Mashley and me but we are just a tad brighter than Sam and realised we only had bacon baps ordered!

 

[Fish]

I didn't know there was any food at RSG either? I just saw the coffee and everyone sitting in the bar area?

We early arrivers all had 4 bacon baps each with copious amounts of tea and coffee :whoo:

Didn't you have enough at the hotel

 

[richart]

Didn't you have enough at the hotel

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

Unseen bunker You need to get a sky caddie

Unseen bunker You need to get a sky caddie

I will not tell you what one of Robin's partners, Backwoodsman said about sky caddies on the course, but I thought he was a very brave man.

Unseen bunker You need to get a sky caddie

It was seen on the stroke saver

And then seen by me as i visited every bunker not GUR

 

[Fish]

Unseen bunker You need to get a sky caddie

I was carrying and forgot my clip for it and it became a pain getting it in & out my pocket, so I didn't bother that much with it, some bunkers were very cleverly sunk down behind a mound, I actually walked up to 1 mound to look at the green, still didn't spot one and then found it 😡

To be fair the ones I landed in I got out of well, but they always cost you a shot 😞

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 ... )
