Sharpley Golf Club - Co Durham - 11th November 2012

Just up listening to the rain on the roof.

Checked the forecast and it looks like I'm actually going to be taking it down to a little do at Pedham! :mmm:

Hope you guys have better weather today - and that West Ham stuff Newcastle tomorrow. Not sure either is likely! :rolleyes:

As long as Carroll doesn't score against us!
 
Looks like we have the weather for today guys :fore:

Been awake since 6 mate.....finally got up around 7.15...........although Wayman takes some beating posting at 4.45am!

Real feel weather today 4-7 degrees and mainly sunny....that will do me.

Resisting the temptation to get my battery operated indoor putter machine out..........my lass would gan offit!!!

Wayman is only 22 I think, the joy of youth lol

A word of warning.....the bloody ***** have put the flag right at the top on the 7th green.....but the 8th is still in a good position!

Enjoy and say hello to the guys for me! Really liked that course last year _ apart from the last 4 holes.

I there is one hell of a jumble sale going on as well!!
 
8 is simply a superb golf hole. Love it. 11 is a tough old par 3 if you're scared of mid-long carries over water.

The green on 7 has to be seen to be believed.

5 is an absolute cracker. Plays about 130 I believe but it's a massive drop to the green to judgement is tough. Really looking forward to this.

Will be on the range around 9.15-30 if anyone else is about. You'll know me, "Irish" accent. Crap beard. I'll have a short arse ginger in tow aka bozza.[/QUOTE


The green on 7..........unbelievable length that green....hope the pins at the top.....makes it more 'exciting'
 
Depending on the wind, the 5th is anything from a sand wedge to a 6 iron. I used a 7 into the wind today, hit it perfect and was still short!


Not much wind today apparently!

After last week I will be a 9 iron on that par 3....was just off the green to the left with my 8 iron last week....Another one where you think "fcuk a 2 putt would be great"...lol
 
And the greens are lightening!

Was so funny yesterday, we were talking about the 8th green and my pal said, right I'm gonna beat this green today....

5 putts later :whistle:
 
last time i played sharpley it was a huricane and no where to hid from it
think i hit 5 iron into the 5th par 3 and im def not a short hitter and also the 8th sure i hit driver 8 iron lay up! then a wedge over

this wind was a joke

The 8th always plays into the wind, even on a calm day it seems :confused:

yes!!!..I got my 'wish' for the 7th green pin..............hopefully get my 2nd shot to the green front (unlike last week ) then a huge height lob wedge to the top of the green (80 yards further???!!! ) landing 6 foot BELOW the pin...........and then i woke up!!!
