You won't even make buffer, you can only play well on your own track 😜😜

Hope you make a better fist of it today

I'm wondering if it was something dodgy in the Chinese.
He played better at Cooden, ripped it a new one he did.
And he didn't have Chinese the night before....

Me too 🏌️Don't think it's going to be as brutal as yesterday so it's the 4w off the tee mainly and plot my way around.

Thanks as alway to Glyn, Birch and LB for the efforts in organising these meets, especially as they get bigger and bigger, can only imagine the amount of effort that goes in :clap:

Sunningdale was absolutely incredible, I had high expectations and it exceeded them massively. Courses are 2 of the best I've played anywhere and the lunch was absolutely superb. I loved everything about the place and even at full whack would be value for money IMO. I'll need to go back at some point, still smiling about it now

Thanks to my playing partners for the rounds, LPPhil and Dan in the morning and Junior and the Woodhall boys Trev and Simon in the afternoon. Thoroughly enjoyed the company all day, plenty of laughs and a lot of good golf on show, sadly not too much from me though!! :rofl:

Hope you all enjoyed New Zealand today and the weather was kind again :thup:

Wow just wow, what a view when I walked round the side at Sunningdale in the morning, Wow, could sit there for weeks.

Big time gutted at not being able to play in the afternoon, after causing myself an inquiry trying to hit a ball out the heather, had been looking forward to the trip but hey thats life and love my new sunningdale hat

Many thanks to James, the Yorkshire lads and Paddyc for the company, really enjoyed it.

Would like to say again a massive thanks to Glynn who made me/Adam/Joanne feel really welcome before and during the two days and the other two organisers for organising this trip. Thank you again, a big thank you, I am really grateful, oh did I say thanks, thanks.:thup:

What a stonking good two days and a BIG thanks to everyone involved in organising this. Enjoyed meeting old and new faces, and bumping into an Ascot member as Sunningdale starter, and an ex-member as head chef at New Zealand today. Only downside was hurting my elbow trying to extract a ball from thick heather and seeing it swell massively and hurt to the point of being painful to swing so I decided to stop at the 5th by the clubhouse. Thanks to the New Zealand staff for the bags of ice (and pot of tee). As the chef gets courtesy of the course and I can get signed in for a paltry guest rate I'm going back.

Preferred the Old to the New yesterday but having to play the last hole in pouring rain and total darkness and spending over five hours getting round may have soured my opinion. I've got a few swings from this morning and yesterday on the video which I'll be editing and getting up on here over the weekend. Shame my golf wasn't better but hey ho.

I hope everyone enjoyed the two days and get home safely. I've never seen so much heather as the last two days and with my wonky driving I saw a lot of it up close and it was tough yesterday and absolutely brutal (as my elbow testified) today. I loved the aura of a bygone era at New Zealand today and the history of Sunningdale yesterday. H4H still to come. Any ideas where the 2018 big trip will be?

How did Sunningdale play? Sounds daft...but greens etc? All good?

The greens were a bit slow on the old but a bit quicker on the new , the rest of the course was immaculate- the bunkers were the best I have ever seen

Final scores now all online.

have a look at the previous link I put in.

Well done to Junior for 3 impressive rounds :thup:

The trophy is on its way to the North West for the year

I am now off for a pint and will post more when I actually have a minute :cheers:

Edit, I will be in touch with all prize winners Monday to sort winnings out etc.

Finally back in Kent enjoying a cold one after a detour via Southampton.

Have to say it's been a brilliant couple of days. The mare that is my driving continued on the front 9 today, but even without Petes special contact lenses I managed to find them all in the heather with assistant from Kenny and Dave.

Sunningdale with beautiful and will will live long in the memory (as will blue in munch) 😂😂😂

Of the three, I think I favoured the Old, but a couple of birdies and less tired legs may have something to do with that opinion.

Have to echo the sentiments of all and say a big thank you to the guys who organised it, both days have been superb and I'm looking forward to the next meets already.

This last year has seen my course cv take quite an upturn. Long may in continue.

They played well but the greens were slow although we were told that before we went off so wasn't a suprise. The heather was in bloom and looked a picture. Fantastically presented course

Glynn, Birchy, Pedro......... you excelled yourselves. What an aamazing couple of days. New Zealand was delightful and charming, Sunningdale is quite simply the BEST days golf (incl lunch) you can get in the UK. Thank-you for all your hard work. Both Sunnngdale courses were outstanding, I think the New is a better test, but the Old has more character and combination of holes.

Sorry we we didn't hang around for the presentation, a 3.5 hr drive turned into just 6.45hr one on the way home.......m25, m42 and m6 were all brutal.

Nice to chalk up a 'w' in the main competition and also the team one, seeing Stu hug and kiss Fish isn't a pretty sight though

Well done Andy mate :clap: some solid shooting there

Just got back myself from enjoying the afternoon round at NZGC - thanks to all who organised, and wish I had gotten involved for the Sunningdale legs.

Special thanks to my +1 and my playing partner on the day, Craig (Didn't get your forum name), for his patience and good humour when partnering 2 guys that were, to be frank, not playing very good golf.


Cheers,

Cake

Well played Andy - could see that you were hitting the ball well on Thursday :thup:

Cool. Played them both in October last year and they were decent...hoping that when I go back on Tuesday that they are both equally as good, or better!
