We also had an accumulative score prize over the 3 courses for those that played them :smirk:

Hooker: 36-32-32 = 100
Fish: 28-35-31 = 94
MJC: 30-25-30 = 85
Trojan615: 21-31-32 = 84
Badger: 29-29-24 = 82
Papas1982: 22-23-31 = 76
AnotherDouble: 27-25-32 = 74
Lee Nixon: 18-29-27 = 74

thats quite enough tables with my shambles highlighted thank you very much!

You forgetting someone :smirk:

Couldnt remember all your 3, RSG slayer.:thup:

 

[Swingalot]

cheers Robin :thup:

just to think, I had a 3 off the tee blob, and pushed a 5i off the course. The winning margin could've been so much bigger :rofl:

The 6 on the last was more costly, after being front of green in 2. Great round by both you and Liverbirdie, I will need to think of some alternative tactics if I ever get paired up against you 2 on a future meet.

Just wear blue and watch them start frothing, better still, get an Everton ball marker 😜

In our current state I was trying to keep the subject off football 😀. Mind you, you should have seen Liverbirdies face when I showed him a tee I found on the floor branded 'Manchester United'! Pretty sure his drive off that tee went an extra 20 yards on the back of that. 😎

I don't we spoke about football on RCP, mind you, there wasn't a huge amount of conversation due to the conditions, it was head down and plod (paddle) on ☔🌪😳🏌️

Yep, hard to talk when your just trying to survive!

Here are the scores from RSG :smirk:

Dave MC1 36

Just seen this....

Nice work Davie La. No mean score that on an Open course.

Good to get the 'forum meet' jinx off your back too :thup:

 

[Liverbirdie]

Well, what a trip that was - one of my favourite meets on here.

3 of the open courses all done in one trip. Smashing.

Princes - I'd played all 27 holes before in 2 different opens, and managed to play Dunes and shore again on the Sunday in 20 mph winds. Boxman showed the difference between a decent player and a proper player (albeit, he cant putt). 37 points for him and with 3-4 3 putts. 35 points for me, and enjoyed the test again, and I do think it is a slightly under-rated course. Yes, when your cheek by jowl with RCP and RSG, it is the slightly uglier sister, who is still fit, puts out, and makes a fine brekky in the morning for you. A bit like Formby, next to Hillside and Birkdale.

The lodge at Princes was a great shout by Birchy. Good food, decent portions, sky sports, small snooker table and a late bar. Lovely spacious rooms, the only down side being 30mph past your window one night.

Nice to eventually catch up with some of the ugly mugs in Deal for a few more bevvies, who had been at Littlestone in the day.

RCP - Arguably as windy and wet as Silloth a few years ago, at another forum meet.

Blob start + blob finish for me, with 35 points sandwiched inbetween. Surely I'd have a decent lead on Fish for our 2 day £10 comp......nosirrribob, he matched me point for point, so well done Robin shooting 35 in that squall. When I heard the prizegiver say "and in 3rd place.....is Fish", I thought he'd beaten me into fourth place. Then I heard who was 2nd - me. :whoo: Well at least that extra £10-15 will pay my bet to him, if I lose. Boxman took the spoils again with a very impressive 37 points (off 4).

Cracking course, and not too bad for an out and back, as some slight direction changes meant not all the back 9 was into the wind. Some nice elevation changes, interesting approach shots required.

Half-watched some footy match in the night between a red and a blue team, cant remember the result.

RSG - The weather played ball, but no-one else did.

Hmmm, where to rate RSG - not as good as Birkdale, or Turnberry, but better than Carnoustie, Lytham, Ryl L'pool for me.

Still loved it, would love to play it again, especially on that deal. Oozes class, and no two holes the same. Will return.

Due to wanting to be home before the M25 becomes a car park, seen us have to leave straight after our meal in the snack bar. A shame as your spread looked fantastic.

When I come off, I was surprised to hear that I had overhauled Boxy's 3 point lead on me, to win our group of 4's "3 open course" challenge. Happy with that as didnt think that me and Davey Mac's 33 and 36 points would challange any top 3, thinking that 38 or even a 40 pointer was out there.

Davey and me were cock-a-hoop to find out that we finished 1st and second, but must admit that my catching of "the Fish", was my most valued achievement. I'm thinking of getting a belt made - wonder if they make it in a 32" waist?

Loved the whole shebang, and would gladly do it again. Maybe not next year, but not ruling it out either.

Would be boss if we could get a NW gang to come down on mass, maybe even a NW+others vs South would be a good laugh.

So, I can part-pay Robin out now, for when we dont finish 4th. Either that or buy Fish's DVD.

Great to meet a whole load of the southerners in one go, good lads.

Shame about BIM - catch you another time big man, and hope the missus is on the mend.

Not fair to put it on only the RCP or RSG thread on its own, so will put it on both.

Finally, thanks Simon and Chris, and MJChappers. I know what goes into a meet, and it was great to play in one without all the hassle that it normally takes to organise, so could just enjoy it, which I thoroughly did.


BTW - Royal Cinque ports better than Carnoustie - Now that could be an interesting conversation.
