Sharpley Springs Autumn meet - who's up for it?

The 7th and 8th greens were designed by someone of evil nature. If the pin is at the front of 8... good luck staying on the green.

On the second tier from the back on 7th, the 8th was on the front in the left bottom corner about 1 yard in and 3 yards up, crazy!!!

For whatever reason, they seem loathe to give you "easy" pins on those two holes. I've played there a fair few times and the pin is nearly always tucked over on the right near the bunkers no matter which tier it's on.

Cracking course though. On a calm, dry day you can take it apart if you're on.... but if the wind is up (usually is) and it's bloomin' freezing (played there on icy days before)... good luck!

Beezerk completely took the front nine apart yesterday, 23 points including a blob on 5!! he decided his partner could play the back nine though.
 
Mainly because he had hurt his back on the front 9 carrying me. The shame of that meant I had to join in the points scoring or remove myself from this forum. He really did play well though. I'd love to have his control off the tee.

Cough Cough, won't mention your 20 points coming in then :whistle:
 
Please do. I've been telling anyone who can't run away about that all day. Boring them rigid. Conveniently forgetting the front 9 though. Maybe I should hit a few balls at the range beforehand after all..........

The range at Sharpley can be a thoroughly demoralising experience as it's generally straight into the wind.

"Oh look, my driver has ballooned and gone 150 yards, can't wait to tee off into the exact same wind." :D
