Teeing off times and groups for Woburn Thursday 29th March.......

[fundy]

strange time to be touching the greens with zero rain forecast for the next week or so

 

[Smiffy]

They have murdered the greens at my place. Has any one checked the status at Woburn?

I checked a couple of weeks ago Murph and was assured that no maintenance off the greens was planned for the end of March. I was told that only "general" maintenance would be going on and that the courses would be immaculate.
How's that?

you up here already smiffy or cutting it fine on the journey?

 

[Aztecs27]

I don't know why he didn't just take up Eejits offer of his wife's gokart????

Oh feck. I completely forgot about this! I bet he's left now, hasn't he?

Infact, I know he's left because he was heading to Leicester last night to watch Leicester V Forest.

Does it not have a positive and negative terminal that you can get at? If not then the lead I have is no good

This is what mine looks like.

I've never taken it out of the bag so no idea what the actual battery looks like. I just fit the connector into the slot you see in this pic.

I'll have a look tonight. Would you expect to be able to get to the terminals with it out of the bag?

 

[fundy]

I can on all the batteries ive used before, but never used a hillbilly battery before

Decided not to play this afternoon, three rounds in two days would do my old knees in to be honest.
Just finishing any packing I have, time for a shower and nip down to get my ears lowered before I crack off at about 2 this afternoon.
Should get to the B&B around 6'ish just in time for a natter with Dermot before heading out this evening for a couple of G&T's.

 

[Aztecs27]

Sorry about all this Gents .

If I had the room in my house, I would just buy my own!

 

[Smiffy]

Oh feck. I completely forgot about this! I bet he's left now, hasn't he?

He has indeed. I just rung him to find out if he had taken his wife's GoKart on the "offchance" but unfortunately not. Apparantly she is having problems with the battery so it wouldn't have done you any good anyway Geezer.
I expect you will be able to hire PowaKaddies up there though

 

[Smiffy]

I can put all my stuff in a carry bag and you can borrow my GoKart if you want???

I did just think about them having trolley hire. As I said, it's not the end of the world, I just don't fancy being knackered in the afternoon especially as my back's a bit sore at the mo.

I feel pretty awful for messing Fundy, Gary and Gibbo around!

Don't be ridiculous. I'm more than happy to carry, but as I'd said previously, as it's an expensive day, I want to get the most from the courses if I can, rather than hacking around and not enjoying it at all (there's obviously the chance this will happen anyway, even with a trolley! )

Just amended for you Rob

 

[RichardC]

Just a reminder......

Handicap Certificates!!!

If you have one please can you remember to bring it with you.

I hope they accept fax copies :mmm:

 

[Smiffy]

Oh well. That's it. Showered, changed and just about to hop in the car. See some of you this evening and the rest of you in the morning. Safe journeys up all.

Enjoy your time there chaps.

Just a thought - I'd recommend having soft spikes in your shoes. I've played the Dukes a few times and the path down from the tee to green (on the 3rd) is rather steep and I could barely keep on my feet in metal spikes - particularly whilst trying to hold the trolley back. It was bad enough in soft spikes! Granted i last played there in November but it was a dry day.

If anyone in your group is in a buggy I'd suggest you rest the trolley against the back of that as you go down (and get them to go slow of course).

I look forward to hearing which side of the split fairway you go for on the Marquess 7th. If you go to the right (shorter route) and you're a big hitter then think twice before taking the big dog - one of our group ran out of fairway and it wasn't a nice 2nd shot!

 

[arnieboy]

Have a great time everyone. I look forward to reading all about it!

Last time I played it, I intended using the right-hand side, but ended up down the left!

 

[Warbur]

I intended going for the right though maybe not quite as far right as I ended up . You don't get many shouts of fore round there but my playing partners gave it all they're worth b*****ds!

The halfway house on the Marquess was a thing of beauty though :thup:

 

[philly169]

Im going for a 5k run, some tea and be at the bnb for 7.
