Spalding members

[rosecott]

RichRaph - new to the forum so I'm giving him a helping hand till he finds his way around - is hoping to find a kind Spalding member who will invite him for a game at Spalding as he would like to get to know the course as he is playing an Open there soon.

I think CaptainRon is still a member there, so if he or any other member can PM me if they can offer him a game in the near future.

Cameron has just rejoined.

He is always looking for people to play with him so they can marvel at how far he hits it offline

Thanks Rosecott for helping hand. I am playing in comp at Spalding on 16 July and hoped to fit in a practice session before hand. Other commitments mean I can only play coming Wednesday or Saturday. "Always welcome help looking for my ball"🤓

I do recall send one of your monogrammed vice balls to the bottom of the lake at Gainsborough.

Well, RichRaph and I were entertained - good word - by Captainron at Spalding this afternoon (Cameron never changes, you get what's on the tin). Beautiful afternoon on a beautiful course but a bit too hot for me and the silly amount of golf I've played recently. Cam was extremely helpful to Raph, showing him where to go and where not to go (he even demonstrated the latter a couple of times). He even got one of the greenkeepers (another colonial I think) to tell us where the pins were likely to be a week on Sunday when Raph plays it in earnest. Look out Sunningdale and New Zealand, Cam says he's hitting the ball further than ever - and it's true. He knows there are plenty of disbelievers on the forum but he knows that I know. Two good examples today:

198 yard par 3 - 9-iron to pin high on the green.
Last hole - 316 yards with driver to 41 yards of the green, dead centre. This, of course, was followed by a thinned chip which nearly ended up OOB on the club veranda which was populated by a large number of Lady members.

Raph learnt a lot today which I hope will help him on the Bridgestone Chase a Dream qualifier a week on Sunday.

Thanks again Cameron for your hospitality.

Oh, and I think the forum should know, he changed the playing characteristics of a club during the round - cheating sod.

I enjoyed Spaulding GC, nice course with outstanding grub

In the sunshine ☀️ I had a great afternoon with CaptainRon and Rosecott at Spalding GC. The course is in great shape and with the help from Cameron, I not feel ready for the real thing. Thanks guys😄😄😄

Did you learn any new Anglo Saxon expressions from dear Cameron?😮

I think I played it with you the first time we met.

Lowest index for a par 3 I've ever come across, I got 2 shots on it at that time 😜

As you rightly say, the food was excellent.

Have to have a little meet there in the future 👍🏌️

 

[Captainron]

Fish I am more than happy to organise a forum meeting there. I will look for some dates and let you guys know.

Anybody who wants a game separately just give me a PM and if I'm free I'll take you round no worries

 

[Captainron]

Oh dear 😂😂😂

I am shocked myself Chris. I was on the verge a few times but somehow managed to keep it under wraps. I must try harder.

 

[Captainron]

The driver was going a little low Jim. After that adjustment, it worked really really well.

 

[RichRaph]

According to Rosecott Cameron must have mellowed. He hit a gap wedge 147 yards, I had to pull my 6 iron for the same distance. He does stand 6' plus.
"It was a very good learning experience"

Ha ha, he wasn't on his best behaviour at Wallasey Sunday morning but at Delamere he had to behave as we were playing with a member :whoo:
