Royal St Georges - Tuesday 28th February 2017

Back from this trip, came a bit early for me as just back from injury.

Thanks to Chris and Simon for the organisation of the two days. Thanks to everyone who put up with my drunken ramblings on Sunday evening as well 😂

Thanks, to Darren, Paul and Robin for there company. My golf in two words, pretty bad. Unfortunately my body wouldn't cooperate today.

Great day though on a great course, God was also very good. Will come back next year if fit and have a golf game 😂
 
I can only echo what has already been said, hats off and many thanks to all the organisers for their efforts in putting this threedat trip together - BIM, chris and the surrogate son and of course last but not least Wookie.

A very enjoyable weekend and it was great to catch up with some old faces and meet some new ones. Many thanks to my playing partners this weekend, as some may have noticed I've kinda fallen out of love with the game of late but the past three days have reminded me exactly why we need to love this game. Thanks for great company all weekend guys :cheers:
 
Added thanks to Richard, Chris and Simon for their efforts in arranging a great three days.

Weather was brutal at times and think yesterday at RCP was toughest conditions I've faced on the course, hats off to those who managed what would have been decent scores in good conditions.

We were rewarded though with a perfect day at the superb RSG, have walked it during the Open but to do it with clubs in hand was special. Even a missed three foot par putt on the last (and the four footer coming back) only annoyed me until I saw the carvary.

Great to put lots more names to faces, thanks to my playing partners over the three days and also the Kings Head Crew.
 
Great days.. thanks to the organisers and playing partners this week. Also to Mike for sorting out the scores... made everything a lot simpler...

Considering its Feb, royal cinque and St. George's showed their pedigree..
 
Finally back To the comfort of my sofa!

Apparently mcdonalds and shopping was in order for the kids to compensate for the three days of neglect they've had to sufffer by my absence.

Thank you to all who organised, and those who helped me through the first few days of hacking it about. The weather and style of links was a real eye opener. But after today, albeit in much more friendly conditions I managed a half decent knock.

Will defo be taking advantage of these courses being on my doorstep during the summer (twilight).

Looking forward to Sunningdale and witnessing some of the shenanigans that ensue in the evenings too. Unless people are contending of course :-)

congrats to Martin yesterday, was a pleasure to watch.

Special mention to both fish and hooker who maintained some great scores over the three days (forum cuts to come I'm sure)!
 
Many thanks to evryone who did any organising scoring over the 3 days .

It was a wonderful 3 days of golf and unfortunately for everyone i seem to hit a bit of form on the meet. I went from being unable to hit a cows behind with a banjo on the saturday, suddenly I couldnt miss a fairway on the sunday.

I shall don a cape , sombrero and mask in future games so that I can be incognito.

I did feel slightly guilty winning the 3 day sweep seeing as I suggested it, but that has been offset with my lost waterproofs and the 7 inch crack on my windscreen which suddenly appeared halfway home.

The part of the trip i enjoyed most was meeting everyone it was a much needed break.

What a course! My new number 1. Everything about the place oozes class (even to the fact of not selling me a putter head-cover cos it had the members badge on it!)

The course and conditions made it easy for me to rip it up :rofl:21 pts on the back 9 are hopefully a sign of what can be done

I really appreciate the efforts of all the organisers, helpers and pps at all the meets. A true success :thup:
 
Thanks guys, I was already fearing for the safety of my kneecaps after the first 2 days. If it was £20, I would have been fearing for my life!

It was well worth it though, even down to the food we had best curry house followed by the best lunch I have had in a golf club.

RSG definitley a must play for anyone.
 
Well safely arrived in Suffolk after a good 6 1/2 hours driving :D

First Day - RCP

Don't think I have ever played in worst weather but have to agree with Pieman that in some weird way it was enjoyable. RCP welcome is second to none , I can chat away with the Pro and listen to his stories for ages. Was great to meet new faces in Papas - really nice guy who hopefully now has realised we aren't all bad in flesh we will see him on more Forum meets. Was also great to play with Boxman - Martin, well for the first 9 holes he was 2 under gross and at the same time I was calling him Jason ! Once I started calling him by his real name he played rubbish so Jason joined us again and a cracking finish gave him a superb 37 points - impressive play.

On to the nights social and once again into the Kings Head to talk about anything and everything - belief we have now sorted Brexit and Trump :D

Today was RSG and was delighted to see the sun shining and the wind had dropped. The course was stunning as usual , greens in better condition than last year and the fairways getting tight. Hooker played some great golf and it won't be long until that HC comes down. Good to see Pieman back out on the course and still hitting it a mile. For me today I played with one of the best ball strikers I have played with in a meet - Snelly was just superb off the tee and from the fairway , some supreme drives of proper forum distance , shame the putter wasn't firing today as the scoring deserved to be better to reflect the ball striking - won't be long until the HC gets back down before 3

And finally thanks to both Chris and Simon for sorting it all out for the 3rd year now - cracking couple of days
 
I just want to thank everyone for turning up and playing in appalling conditions at RCP, which clearly was the fault of that great wassock Wookie - he arranged RSG for today which meant that RCP had to be yesterday, but judging by the scores it was still too easy for some - personally it totally beat me up!

Irrespective of Wookie's poor planning i enjoyed the company of my playing partners and watching Slasher birdie the first two holes at RCP was great fun and for those who i never got to chat to , they have offered a deal in recommence that i shall post up about in the next day or two. Anyway, everyone knows water is not free and i reckon £65 quids worth fell on me on Monday, good value if only i could have stored it!

As for today, isn't RSG just a wonderful place ? Just to play where I've watched live, the worlds best players, is just special, add a fantastic lunch and great company and Wookie's specially saved weather and WOW its just awesome - thanks Simon you're a star!

Papas, Nando, and Bogie Boy were great company and didn't take the pee out of me at all - discerning gentlemen amongst a rabble!

Anyway, thanks everyone and i hope Wookies up for another go!

Thank you to everyone for making us feel so welcome on our first forum meet. Chrisd - thanks again for all the hard work.

You are a talented bunch of golfers, but more importantly a good friendly bunch who don't mind taking the piss where necessary.

The organisation was superb - it can't be easy but it does make for a fantastic experience for everyone who came. The courses were superb and even though the weather was horrific patience paid off with blue skies yesterday. Both are fantastic, but RSG is definitely in my top 3 of all time.

I'm interested if you go back to RCP later in the summer - just make sure the forecast is for no wind and blue skies. Likewise if anyone is looking to play Tandridge in Surrey in the summer just let me know and we can arrange a game as my guest.

Thanks for the laughs and the odd fantastic shot. See you at another meet soon.
