Southwest Regional qualifier.

Tony, cheers for organising the day again. Shame you booked the weather for the day before this year, but hopefully lesson learned for next year? :-)

I can't believe I've let that course beat me up again so badly, but looking at the results I wasn't the only one. Sole (golfing) highlight of the day for me was 4 for 4 on SI 1. Other than that, it seems that if you leave your long game, short game and putting at home, and corrupt your GPS, then it's tricky to score. Who knew?

On the plus side, good to see everyone and to meet some new faces, hopefully Nick and I didn't put Scott off attending some more meets. On to Blackmoor! Val, there are going to be a few more tenners coming your way I think.
 
Did you tie Gary's hands behind his back or usomething......?

It was brutal at times and even if you managed to get to the green with 2 shots to score it was far from guaranteed, the front 9 for most of us all scored lower than the back, I think we all thought the wind would then help us on the way in, but it didn't :(

as tough as I experienced at Silloth.
 
Big thank you for Tony yet again for taking the reigns and organising yet again. Almost got the weather this year, it was far harder a test than last year and although i played very indifferently i thoroughly enjoyed it. Big thanks to Tab373 for letting me and Paul bring him down to our level of golf,Pleasure to meet you.
Enjoyed the day but not the wind and rain. I thought we would be playing the back 9 with the wind after the struggles on front. But the wind had other ideas. Only pic I took when the sun came out.

I have no idea on that pic why i look like ive just hit the ball but obviously not by the club position, that must be the way i stand normally :D
 
Cheers for today Tony

Great course - very tough fairways to find from the tee

Greens very quick with lots of subtle breaks

Had 6 three putts !! Got beaten up on the Par 3's

Can't wait to play the course again

Cheers for the company Kosmoz - going to be a very solid golfer and Srixon who is a very solid golfer.
 
Did you tie Gary's hands behind his back or something......?

I was awesome, just unlucky :mad:
One thing is fairly certain though, it won't beat me up again.

Thanks to Tony for arranging the game :thup:

A big thanks to Darren and Josh for their company, and making it an enjoyable few hours despite my attempt at "golf". I hope my poor play didn't make me too much of a grumpy so and so.

Also, huge props to Robobum for a level par back 9 including an eagle-par-birdie finish.
 
Never had the chance to post last night as when I returned home my boiler had gone belly up:(

Anyway, thanks to Tony for organising the day, and to my playing partners, Liverpoolphil and Kozmos. I enjoyed your company out on the course. Worth a mention were the tee shots on the first hole, (one of the narrowest fairways you will see anywhere), when all 3 balls ended up within a couple of yards of each other. All 3 balls then on the green but then the 3-putting began, one par and 2 bogeys. Between the three of us we must have 3 putted at least 10 times during the round. As usual, Burnham sucked me in and spat me out, but I will be back to try another day.
 
I would just like to add my thanks for an enjoyable day despite the fact i was hacking it round. Berrow isnt a place to have your swing go missing. Many thanks to Gary and Darren for putting up with me and well played on the victory.
