Short Notice - Painswick GC, Wednesday 31st August

[Crow]

Already playing that day in our Seniors Club champs…pity as i could indeed have played my Macgregor woods alongside my Wilson Staff Fluid Feels and Acushnet bullseye putter ?

Nice set up.

Nice set up.

Back 1985 when I got the lot - and not long into my first job and real wage packet - it was the very best that I could afford. The putter was new, the rest were 2nd hand though they were 'as new' and almost unused. I didn't know at the time - classics the lot of them.

 

[Crow]

Well it doesn't look as though we're going to get any more for this, but if anyone reading the thread fancies joining us please speak up!

I've just looked at the on-line booking and the £18.75 price is for a fourball. if we book as a threeball then it's £20 a head.
I assume this is okay @Voyager EMH and @IanM ?

If so it just needs one of us to book the three ball, which I don't mind doing once you both confirm you're okay with the price and still good to play on the 31st and you can then give me £20 on the day.

 

[Crow]

Well, I assume from your "Likes" that you're both okay with the date and price so I'll go ahead and book.

 

[IanM]

Yes indeed !

Just spent over an hour sand papering the aged grips on the Blueflash clubs. They are not good!

Going to take them to the range tomorrow. I suggest watching where you stand on Wednesday, or wearing a motorcycle helmet!

 

[Crow]

Sorting out some clubs today, think I'll be taking a very mixed bag of about 8 clubs in a carry bag.

Show-off!
Don't forget to thoroughly test the strap's strength and integrity. We don't want a repeat of a recent event.

 

[Voyager EMH]

I hope they'll let us play off the whites.
I've just checked it out.
For me (HI 4.7) I'm off 4 on the yellows, but 5 from the whites.
Well, I was warned that its nuts.

 

[Crow]

I've just booked us in at 11.40, and of course there was another hidden fee, a £3 booking charge so the total is £21 each.

I'd have thought that they'd let us go off the whites, there's only 250 yards difference and even off the whites it's only 4,831 yards. (Par 67, CR 64.8, slope 110!)

 

[Crow]

Played 18 holes in the roll-up today with my 8 chosen clubs; started treble bogey, treble bogey and also had a quad bogey!

Mostly decent apart from that though so I'll keep the bag set up except for the putter which, although I holed quite a few good putts with it, just didn't feel right.

 

[Voyager EMH]

What time do you want to set off from the Crow's nest?
AA route planner says 1hr 38mins, but I'd like to arrive in plenty of time to wind down before teeing off.

 

[IanM]

I've got the first putter i ever bought. Can't see me holing much with it! That's assuming get to a green with the butter-knives

 

[Voyager EMH]

Butter-knives, schmutter-knives

I'll leave it to your better judgement.

I think I'll be taking the "It-Sits", always brings a smile to my face.

 

[IanM]

Wow....

 

[Voyager EMH]

I'll leave it to your better judgement.

I'll aim to get to yours 9am-ish. Not before 9am.

 

[IanM]

Just been on the practice ground with the Dunlops.

The irons went quite well, but no idea where the woods were going! This will be an experience!
