Might not be fit for this now guys, had a funny fall on the slopes yesterday and dislocated my knee cap temporarily. Think there is some ligament damage and a lot of swelling at the moment. Will keep you updated Tony but not looking good.
Hope you all have a good time if I don't make it down.

Sorry to hear that Steve, sounds painful. I assume ski slopes, and not Salisbury slopes ?

cheers mate, ski slopes is correct. Got a few good days in before it happened and not worried about the last two days, just hope it doesn't set me back on my mission to take over the world.

Does this mean Team GB has one less medal hope in Sochi?

Really looking forward to this! Have strained my shoulder I think from carrying my 9 week old daughter in a funny position but, this may be a godsend and it will force me into cutting off follow through and keep the ball low!

Were going to have a good group as my backs flared up again and ive golfers elbow. Played yesterday loaded with Ibrupofen and cocodamol. Might phone to see if trolleys are allowed to ease my back, if not more medication is on the cards :D

What's that area of the coast like currently, all my wife keeps hearing is how Somerset is being battered and is flooded and our chalet has a 1 minute walk to the beach front!

Should be fine. Weve had some big high tides this year but theyve had no problems so far. Its the levels that are having a bad time of it. Though saying that its absolutely lashing it down with high winds as i write this. :mmm::D

Hi guys.
Went and played the channel course again this morning.
Remarkably with all the rain we have had its it good nick.
Had a word with the pro,the championship course is in superb condition.
They have water in some bunkers which are gur.
Because we have had strong winds as well as heavy rain the course is relatively dry,
the greens are fast and true.
Trolleys are allowed all year no problems.
I must admit todays rain and wind made it horrendous,also we had a hail storm
of biblical proportions,so whatever happens come prepaired for all elements.
It will be tough but it will also be the same for everyone.
I would appreciate it if everyone could arrive before 9.45 as I want to warm up as well.
I also would like to take a few photos of groups,and a full group photo.
There is a putting green,chipping green,two nets and a range for those who want them.
I will have all the cards ready for collection and filled in.
Don't forget your £30 cash please.
I have been promised some balls,drink for prizes,so as planned we will have 2 closest
to pins a longest drive,best gross,best net.
Enjoy your week,look forward to meeting everyone old and new.
Weather for the week is rain,wind getting slightly colder,we are in the laps of the gods for Sunday
so keep all those fingers crossed.

Sounds great!

has anyone playing on the day played it before?

I've not but I've played Hoylake, West Lancs, Formby, St Annes Old Links, Fairhaven, Wallasey, Silloth & Solway and Royal Porthcawl so I've had a bit of an introduction to links golf :smirk:
