Knew I'd reel in a whopper with that one Pete, first cast too
That may or may not have happened Birchy .
The format worked well though mate as I managed to win the last two to pick up some bonus points.:thup:
You'll see how well Pete played when he posts the cards,top shooting.
Happy really as I thought I was on for the dog licence.

I told you you'd reel a few in Andy, especially luckyBirchy.

Houghwood booked for 14.30 for 3 of us, if another one fancies it, it will only be £14.00.

It must be a goat track at that price on a Saturday afternoon.......

You played it before Pete?

 

[Liverbirdie]

You played it before Pete?

No, I don't know how may holes will suit a fader........

I believe in 1934 it was inspected for consideration to become a "Royal" course.

Royal Skelmersdale does have a certain ring to it

what condition was it in and did you meet any of the grumpy old men members?

Great nick. The greens were a little slow, but looked quick.

No, Bluewolf wasn't there.

they had a mass exodus the last few years because of internal politics,when i was there it was hit and miss on condition and some of the older members could be a bit rude,they introduced an on line booking system that caused some to leave as they would take block bookings from soc and members couldn't get a game some weeks.
I was surprised he joined there for a further £500 he could have joined a good club.

There was a large society there that day.

We think it was the lazy arse scratch society, as most NTP’swere within a yard, and no-one had bothered to come out and remove them fromthe greens, so they were all in the way. We think the prizegiving was going on as we left.

Course was in great nick apart from the greens were a little slow and pace seemed to vary on them, must have been the rain as they did look very quick and seemed smooth enough. Ive always liked the layout of the course.

Its a typical propriety course though, people who join know what they are getting etc.

but it used to be more a members club and to be fair to the owner he put money into drainage and getting the course better over the years but it all change about 4 years ago,members left in droves and it became a lottery if you could get a game,no use booking 10 days in advance just to have a knock after work is it,soc do seem to rule the roost there now,pity as it could have been a good track.
