• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

Silloth Open. May 27th. Bank holiday Monday.

I'm playing pretty steady at the moment which has nothing to do with the winter as I believe I had a good knock at FOA, Tadmarton and West Lancs on some tough long tracks in rotten conditions ;)

Not my fault all qualifiers stop from September through to April at my club :whistle:

I'll be off 23 :ears:

I hope you are on a role and dont play to many mid week comps as the handicap limit is 24 and we dont want you missing out now do we:ears:

:rofl: At 23.0 there's no chance of that and our first Medal isn't until 6th April so I don't think I could squeeze in 5 before that and not hit at least buffer in most of them ;) Although, if its a 24 limit then they allow 24 so I could get another 2 shot hole :ears:

Will have to be careful I don't get cut too quickly before this meet, take me time I think and play tactical :whistle:
 
You scared you'll only have 2 scorers and 2 blobbers on most holes :ears:

How about, 2 best scores first 6, 3 best scores middle 6 and all 4 to count back 6, now that sorts the men from the boys or do you not have faith in your team mates :whistle:

Tut tut Robin, had you down as smarter than that!! low handicappers dream format....

Its not my show though Kenny so not for me to arrange the format, these are only idea's I have put forward and a format I play at KGC in some sweeps that don't bother me. I see plenty of low handicappers spraying it about at times :whistle:

Puts a bit of pressure on me which I don't mind for the last 6 but hey, plenty of points may be already in the bag by then :whoo:

It's Dave's meet so see what the others say, its only a flag and my side bet should offset either way ;)

Robin, I think it's a great idea, don't let Kenny put you off he is just thinking about his own game and the pressure of needing to score on the last 6 holes....

Silloth have came up with a perfectly acceptable format, why complicate it??....Sam the only thing that needs to be though about is where you leave your money for collection for the winning team, any ideas??

No worries there Kenny, they'll have to let us play through as they'll be that slow looking for balls :smirk:
 
Bomber, what's your plan likely to be on the day? Are you hanging around for the rest of us to get in. Or are you looking to leave your cards, pot money with the pro or behind the bar etc if you want a head start getting home. and we'll sort it when we get in.

I was thinking along these lines also, if you guys leave the sweep money with the Pro we can collect it when we are finished, will save us hanging about:-)

Kenny I have just opened the window and I am sure I can smell your fear from here, Robin has come up with a good plan and it's not that hard to keep a second card, now get yourself down to the range, you need not worry about my money it's safe.........
 
Like it!:D:D

I can't see past Lancashire and Coventrys finest for this one though :thup:

I am sure we can hang about and wait on you guys getting in as long as Robin & Kenny know when they havehit more than 6 shots to pick up rather than keep bashing away at it.

I was just doing a HDID catch up ... I thought Kenny had scored a new personal best but he was posting how many bunkers are at Glenbervie.

The things you do to pass the time :smirk:

Lol not far from the truth Steve, 81 is my lowest medal score around Glenbervie, although I have scored a couple of 79's at other courses.
 
Winning total takes the pot. End of discussion and end of Sam fishing.

As per rules of the day = rules for all. Team Choppers are walking away with a pocket of cash.
