The puritanical forces of political correctness at the expense of wit and levity at GM Towers are still wringing their hands at the slightest transgression of their overdone rules. The moderators are still laughingly insisting that what they do is incredibly hard work and painstakingly crucial. The scotch contingent are still getting their sporrans in a spin at the slightest barb. And obviously, nearly everyone is still asking the same banal questions about equipment and insinuating that it is a panacea for all their golfing woes.

Hi Bob,

Yes, having only played 4 times since August 2012, I played at St Georges Hill off 3 in a field of 94 players and did quite well, picking up 3 prizes, all of which were cases of delightful wine from Fortnum and Mason, including a double magnum of St Emillion Grand Cru 2005. Which was nice. Anyway, I got cut to 1 HC in the society but it is all unofficial so I plan to flagrantly breach this cut and have declared myself off 2 for my next game which is on April 10th with 3 friends at Bearwood Lakes.

I hope you and yours are well chap.

Best regards,


Snelly.
 
Have you not joined a Club yet you old rascal ? How are you ever going to get an official scratch handicap ? Good to hear you are still around, and shame you will miss the H4H day. I know West Hill is one of your favourite courses.

Welcome back Snelly, how was the waitress index at St Georges Hill ? Surely that must be a criteria ??

Hi Richard,

I hope that you are keeping well. Sadly no, still no course membership although I am closer than ever to joining as I would like to play a few open events this summer. My friend has asked me to partner him in some foursomes events, notably at Hankley, The Berkshire and such. I am keen to do so as he is a lovely player and we do well together as I am a relatively decent player with the longer clubs and he is a demon with a wedge from under 130 yards. He is off 2 but genuinely is a bandit. And incidentally, he agrees with me that blades are not a good idea for anyone that is not exceptional. :)

H4H - extremely sorry to miss this as you are right, I love both the course and the charity. I do have 2 games arranged at West Hill this year though so will get to see how the new changes have bedded in.

All the best for a good golfing year.

TheRod, my dear chap - sincere best regards and thanks again for that wedge - a lovely club.

They have recruited a new waitress at St G's Hill since I was last there in October. She is an absolute vision, reminiscent of Scarlett Johannson and has a wonderful personality. Were I not married, I would have asked her out on the spot.

Sadly though, the waitress gorgeousness index cannot be used as a criteria as it doesn't necessarily mean the club is a good one. A case in point - the prettiest, naughtiest minx I have ever seen was a member of staff at Royal Eastbourne who took great delight in sitting at the bar, arching forwards so that a passing gentleman could take in the awesomeness of her ornate lace thong as it rode over the waist of her spray on trousers. Fantastic to see but certainly not a pointer to a club of great standing. In fact, Royal Eastbourne has less class, welcome and style than an Egyptian's toilet.

Regards,


Snelly.

Coming on just to slate the forum gets up my nose.
Why come on just to stir it up? There's enough atmosphere already without someone who hasn't posted for 4 months just logging in to slate GM and the mods.





Never mind, .......I've edited my post to a 'friendl #IER version.

Just an observation.

Your posting style makes me think you were a member of the Bullingdon club.
 
Snelly.....

Who are the members of this whisky contingent you speak of?

I like a drop of the old nectar so would be interested in joining such a group if you could share the details of it with me......
 
Can't believe you missed the dress code post. Right up your alley.

Pop in when ever, it's always nice to hear from you.

Just what is your opinion on tweed on the golf course? Too Scottish? Ok til the referendum and then banned? Ok, if mixed with short bread?

Only a minor wind up Dodger my old mucker. I know it's Scottish and that scotch can irk as a term. Apologies, in poor taste on my part. Mind you, had some lovely whisky given me recently. Highland Park but the single bottling 18 year old one. It is lovely.

Hope you are well.

Tweed? Love it. Brilliantly practical in winter and has a certain sartorial elegance. I have got a nice pair of plus twos in a good tweed that are great with good socks.

Not a huge fan of shortbread though. Always seems a bit dry to me.......

And I'm a big fan of Scottish independence. Can't wait. I would vote yes for it in a heartbeat.

I would too, if they would take essex as part of the deal. And slough.

Played the Berkshire (Red) last week, and it has gone to the top of the 'best lunch' table. One of our Society got a hole in one, so we didn't need to buy any wine either. An expensive shot.

The course was in lovely condition, and the greens were easily the best I have played on this year. They will be stunning in the summer.

Not played Hankley this year. My Society played there in January but it was a bit nippy for me. I understand the larger than life lady in the kitchen has left. Hopefully they have got a suitable replacement.
 
Welcome back Snelly - don't be a stranger. I hope you enjoy Bearwood but I strongly recommend trying to move it - that is in the middle of course maintenance week - Monday to Friday - and it will not be good - try and move to the end of April - also, the new 16th tee will be in play around the end of April - we are off the ladies at the moment - but that is fine, it is course maintenance that is the worry!
