Silloth Open. May 27th. Bank holiday Monday.

[Fish]

24 MPH winds forecast now.

I think I'll be wearing an old fashioned diving suit now.

I think that's 26km/hr which is 16 MPH.

Rain (precipitation) has now dropped from 60% to 30% with a 10% start but still rain all the same. That does increase back to 60% from 1pm onwards, the figures in the link are 3hrs leading up to the times shown, so,......................were gonna get wet!

Synopsis on the star ratings states, Playable/Challenging at the start and then Not Great

Dave go with grey for your team colour, an old bloke like you can't go wrong with grey.

Ha, ha, ha........ Cerise is the new Old mans grey..... That'd look nice int he rain.:lol:

Yellow,blue and white.......or wear a 1970's Leeds training top.

Either that or taupe. It will go nice with your hush puppies, Dave.:thup:

Oh, no...... I don't own any of those Dirty Leeds tops & unfortunately, whilst they are the required colours, a '73 Cup winners top is a no go on a golf course. However I will sport a rather natty white with yellow outfit. I guess I can leave you guys will deal with the red (can't expect to see you in blue)..... Think that can be left to KK
So we are a team fit to win, with our wind-beating bases.
Just Remember the all weather gloves

Can't wait for this

Can't wait for this

In deed Craig...... But I fear it's going to be a bit ugly.... Par could be a very good score!!! but I don't know really...... All the best.

Well if anyone needs balls for Silloth, I've just been passed a load from a mate who picks them up when he goes walking with his dogs. he owes me a few bob, so if anyone's interested I can bring them with me to Silloth.

There is the following:-

43 mixed callaway for £12.50

44 mixed Srixon for £12.50

44 mixed Srixon for £12.50

45 mixed Nike for £12.50

58 mixed Titleist for £ 20.00 includes 15 prov 1's/prov 1x's (2 are praccy standard only).

I've been through the balls and thrown out about 70 odd, as sub standard. I would say they are approx 75% pearl and the rest are grade A. I've given them all a mild scrub, and here are the pictures, although a very good scrub will bring them up fine. I'll only bring them if any interest, so let me know, if your interested.

At least with these, no freight charges, and you can inspect before you buy for less than 30p per ball.

I'll pass him all the dunlops, commandoes and molitors.

I'll give 6 to Danny "Shakin Stevens" Bluewolf, who is bound to nervous on the day.

Good luck everyone, weather is horrendous 20 miles down the coast, glad I'm not playing!

 

[Fish]

Constant rain currently, not overly heavy but local forecast looks terrible from lunchtime onwards. Winds picking up now also, gales forecast, this is going to be an experience. The beers good though.

Don't fight the wind, try and swing easy and make sure you find the fairway. Into the wind bogie will be a good score so try and hang on for the front 9 and make your score coming home. It will be a good experience and tell you a lot about your game.

The links boys will have a big advantage, the 100 yard 5 iron shot will be out in force!

NO news form the Silloth boys? what time were they out?
