St Anne's Old Links Sunday 30th

Too knackered to post when I got back last night around 10:30, but.....







OMG :eek:

Still can't believe it!
Pretty much everything went my way including finding some balls that could easily have been lost, and escaping with some ridiculous pars from dead positions.
Even the double in round 1 that cost me breaking 70 was a good 6 and could easily have been much worse.

It was good to see Andy, Iain and Dave again. Dave - I hope your shoulder feels better soon, and Andy & Iain - very well played sirs.
Also good to meet John for the first time. Keep your eye on the arrange a game section for stuff going on in the NW - they're a great bunch to spend a day with.
Big thanks also to Peter and Glyn who were a pleasure to spend the day with.

Finally..... A pic I took on the way up there.

You know you're getting further north when you see this :D

Hope some of the pics turned out ok of the presentation Gary?

I was snapping away like a Japanese tourist!

See you there next year to get a pic with your name on the board :thup:

I'll be playing in it again next year, really good day and ridiculously good value.
 
I hope you dont mind me posting this photo Gary :) As you all will see, it appears that this 36 holer, the 'St Annes Old Links Trophy' is quite a big event for the club, and the board which will shortly have Garys name on it, is very grand.

Congratulations Gaz, that really was great shooting around a tricky course. Well played Iain aswell. Effortless as always. I was buzzing after my lowest ever medal score (1 over) in the morning, but the putter just went cold in the avo. Great to see Pete and LB too. Sorry to hear the BD open has been cancelled. Perhaps Pete can take you through his Liverpool Panini sticker collections instead ??? Dave, rest up that shoulder mate. Hope it gets better soon !!!!!

West Lancs still have about 10 spaces left in the Ted Jarman for next Sunday, which is another 36 hole comp.

I'm game, if anyone fancies it. £45 for the two rounds, normally £110-125 for one round of a weekend.

Good prizes, tough course. Maybe GM can get a 1,2,3..........

I'll be phoning them tomorrow.

I cant mate, ive qualified for a final at our place. I was looking at that earlier in the year tho. Great value, but it will be a long day there if the wind is up

Yes thanks Iain. I had to delete a couple that looked like I was doing 60mph but plenty of good ones thank you. ;)

I'll definitely be back next year. Hopefully the forum can monopolise a block of tee times :)
 
Congratulations, absolutely great play, gutted I couldn't make it, hope you enjoyed the day John?
I'm already in West Lancs on Sunday, just hope my Old Man aches & pains clear up by then!!
 
Well done everyone this is great reading.:clap:

Congrats on the win Gaz that lesson me and Phil gave you really did work.:whoo:

Sounds like I could be travelling north next year:thup:

Harsh :D

I was spotting balls all day for Gaz as he must have hit 7235 provisional during the 2 rounds so my focus was entirely on his game and not my own :whistle: Bonus was that I wasn't last :D

It was a joy to see all the GM lot do really well, even LB who managed to learn how to fade a putter shooting net 72 in the morning was quite impressive.

What do you put it down to?

Luck!! Not convinced I'm as good a player as the likes of Gary etc but had a good year, need to get my head round it first.

Short game has improved a lot this year, chipping and putting probably saving me 3/4 shots a round maybe on a good day. Driving still losing me about 15 on a bad day right enough!!! :rofl:
