South East KOK final details thread.

Who's SPARTACUS ?

Just back from K of K. First, thanks to Mashley for sorting everything he did to sort the meet and also for 27 circuits of Camberley to find our way back to the M3!

Great company with TheRod, Dufferman and Snaphook Wedge they are what makes fighting round the M25 worth the effort. Great to catch up with everyone else and renew old acquaintances, anyone who thought about coming to a meet but arn't sure about putting their name down be assured GM meets are great fun!

I didn't win but was reasonable happy in very windy conditions. The winner did well and I congratulate him/her!

Huge thanks to my playing partners today, Stu, Richard and. Ash......didn't stop laughing the whole way round. Stu, (el Bandito) was especially good value.....top, top bloke....couldn't have wished for a better 4 ball.........thanks for the banter guys.....it's what makes these forum meets special for me... :thup:

Well done for the organising Ash.....can't believe some people didn't bring the exact money!!!!!!!

 

[Thierry]

You forgot hitting into the green while the group in front were still putting out

We will never forget that!!! ne:

Well done again mate, look forward to hearing about victory for the South East over 'the rest'!!!

Ash. you are legend. Great work!

Blue. Some great play, and some rotten luck!

Rick. Nice giraffe.

El B. Brilliant with a spreadsheet. Just not a golf club. Lay up, lay up, pond was particularly impressive on 16!

El B, you were also brilliant company, as were Rick & Ash. Very enjoyable day, cracking course, some good football banter before and after and very well organised Ash, thank you.

And El B, I wouldn't worry too much about the pond; at least the water hazard you found was on the course, unlike the swimming pool that someone else found……………

Come on somebody, let's have the scores on the doors.

Sounds like the GM tournie specialist has done the business?

Please elaborate!

Glass positively overflowing. Gross 80 net 68 in tough conditions. Back in 39 (+4) so very, very happy. No I15's were hurt in the making of this score. I may have accidently let the G25 five wood slip from my grasp after topping it on one hole but there was no helicoptering. Well not too much. I did manage to fall over on the 15th tee and damage the tee box. Having hit a three wood left I went to my bag for a provisional. Trying to save time I tried to climb up the end of the tee box. A wooden pole gave way under my weight and I went down like an Italian striker in the box. Paperboy ably fixed it before I smacked the provisional into the middle of the fairway.

Playing 17 I hit the fairway. 197 yards left into the teeth of the wind I picked a five wood. The green was empty and I fired a lovely fade. As the ball was in the air the four ball in front entered stage right. My tee shot scattered them before finishing three feet from the cup. When I arranged some hooligan had defaced it. The extra weight of the ink added unwanted bias and I missed the birdie putt.

Well chuffed that I finally managed to string a round together. The company in my four ball was superb all the way round and each of my partners had their moments. The greens were in great nick for the time of year and the course I thought was fantastic. Big thumbs up to Mashley for all his help organising it and TXL for the co-ordination at the club.

Aimpoint really helped and the I25's were a joy. So :ears: to everyone who gave me a hard time for changing and :ears: to those that knocked Aimpoint. Homer can play golf. The short game was fantastic...only because I didn't need it all round. Hitting FIR and GIR may be the future/

Fair play to you Homer, you deserve some reward for the effort you put in.

Well played :thup:

Another very enjoyable meet, again thanks to both Ash and Anthony for organising/hosting. The course was as good as I remembered it and was a really good test today with the strong and swirling wind (well that's my excuse anyway . I'll leave it for someone else to post the full results and disclose the winner.

I was paired with Henry (Thierry) and Richard (Richart) and we went off first (3 nice drives btw) :whoo:. We might have had a great card between the 3 of us We all had some good, bad and down right ugly holes. All good fun though thanks guys.

Positives - drove the ball out of my skin!!! ne:

Second that. :thup:

 

[Birchy]

My money is on Rick is the snood man so that means Chrid has won it i reckon

 

[vkurup]

Great day out.. Course in good nick, great organization by Ash & Anthony...Great banter on and off the course.
I played like a knob and even held one during the day (details below). Driver was alright, but iron play was pants <wink> please can I get some fitted irons <wink>. Pictures taken with my non-compliant blackberry..

On the third hole... after I played some silly military golf.. That is Homer and midnight waiting for me to top my 3rd shot about 20 yards


Homer about to rip his driver. Great shot, 2nd shot missed the green, but then he sank a 30+ footer to save par..


Downhill par 3 195y, Homer and Midnight ended on the right, paperboy and I ended up in the greenside bunker on the right


Midnight in full flow..... as he slices his drive..


Midnight/Guy lines up his putt on a superfast downhill green.


Paperboy/Simon displaying his unusual putting stance.. The 3 balls (from L to R) Midnight, Homer and me. All of us would need 2 putts from that position


The group in front of us.. ChrisD, the Rod (in wollies), Duferman and snaphook wedge (playing an airshot)


What an awesome group.. Paperboy (Simon), Homer (Martin), Midnight (Guy)


That is me.... holding Homer's knob


The final stretch


Ash reading out the final scores and winner..



And the winner is...........




The winner collecting his loot.. (ps: I am proud of being part of the winning team as I was the scorer)

Well played Homer, it was a cracking shot into 17, can't believe someone wrote 'knob' on your ball, who was it.....own up

That missed putt is hardly a glowing testimonial for aimpoint:ears:

You might have shot 75 without all faffing around !!

In my defence I was in a state of shock with an outbreak of the golfer and that I could actually put it that close!

 

[Crow]

Well played Homer, excellent score.

Well done Homer, its good to see the hard work is finally paying off :thup:

You and Henry were great company Sean, and it was nice that we were put off first, so we had the course to ourselves. At least no one drove through us. I think you should mention how far you hit your drive down 9th. It will have increased the average forum distance. Henry's at the first wasn't bad either, but unfortunately off the fairway doesn't count.

 

[Birchy]

Get in there, chuffed for you Homer!! Well played :whoo:

See you at Hillside :thup:

!

My writing is much neater than that, plus, even Smiffy wouldn't write "knob" with a green Sharpie! Green? How vulgar!!

 

[virtuocity]

Delighted to hear that everyone had a good time. Well done homer!
