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

[Crow]

For the poor sods who were working yesterday, is anybody going to post the results?

A few big hints have been dropped but it would be nice to know who actually won........ the wooden spoon oo:

 

[rickg]

Just want to add a big thanks to Fundy for the use of his spare room on Wednesday night and to his missus for running us into town.....hope you're feeling better Steve.......

 

[fundy]

No worries Rick, was good fun. I'll survive, though just scratched from tomorrows comp as well. On the plus side I may have lost a few lbs the last 24 hrs

 

[Aztecs27]

I know what you mean.....i've always talked to myself about my shots......think it's time to try and "internalise" those thoughts.....I know I'm doing it but can't seem to help it......definitely going to work on it hard over the next few weeks...............:thup:

At least you didn't decide to hit your 3 wood when your ball was sitting in a hole when you couldn't reach the green anyway...oh wait...


Getting up for work this morning was insanely difficult and my day was only made worse by arriving at work finding none of the stuff I'd delegated to people to do yesterday had not been done. :angry:

Still smiling at such a great day yesterday.

Looking forward to getting some much needed practice in over the next few weeks and getting ready for Woodhall.

Hope I can afford next year's meet, would love to have another pop at it.

 

[Laughing Gravy]

Sounds a brilliant day and the photos whet the appetite for sure. Hope to be there next year.

What timing aswell! Getting it in on the last day of our summer

 

[The19thHole]

gutted I missed this. Sounds like a great day out.

Bloody work! :sbox:

I’m so looking forward to Camberley

Ah yes...thanks for reminding me.....I'd forgotten about that!!....the single most stupid decision in the history of club selection...........especially as I decided halfway through the downswing that i probably ought to hit down on it to get it out of the divot.......inspired..........ne:

Strike was pure! Just directionally impaired. Shame the tree got in the way, you'd probably have had a good shot in from the 8th fairway.

 

[PNWokingham]

Sounds like a great day - realy gutted I couln'd come after being stuck in London in the office with 22 degrees a light breeze and sun outside - couldn't imagine better golfing weather in the peak of summer!

Congratulations to all the winners, whoever they are!!!ne:

No surprise there then.

Well done lads for the donation to H4H, and to Rob2. Sounds like a great day, which might be hard to top, especially for March.

I don't know them all, and I'm hazy on some, but...

Morning (Marquess)
1st ... RickG (34)
2nd ... Smiffy??
3rd ... Homer (32)
Nearest Pin ...
Longest Drive ... PieMan?

Afternoon (Dukes)
1st ... (37)
2nd ... Stuart_C (32)
3rd ...
Nearest Pin ...
Longest Drive ... Murph?

As for the wooden spoon I can't help you. I heard a few horror stories but not sure who was lowest.

Today's attempt at being helpful. If you ever play the Dukes and miss the 13th green right, just take an unplayable and put another ball down straight away. (It's pic 25 of 28 of the ones I posted in the pictures thread).

From the fairway where you play your approach from (I was 220yds out) it looks like a nice gentle dip to the right of the green. It isn't. It's a 1 in 3 (at least) mountain that I wish I'd never tried to play out from. If you don't get all the way to the top of it the ball is coming back past you and you'll be deeper in it.

If you don't heed my advice, for the love of god whatever you do, don't try to take your trolley down there with you especially if the battery doesn't quite sit properly on the trolley!!!

As in the hole that has absolutely NO fairway because it all slopes off down to the right into a black hole? My tee shot was down the left and I blocked myself out and had to try and shape it round the trees on the left. I was two yards too much to the right, but thank god it found the bunker on the front right of the green!

This one?

If I go back again next year, everything over 1pt is a bonus!

Not sure what the problem is here, Rickg had a birdie putt from just past the hole, and I had one from just short. What "black hole" ??

 

[Aztecs27]

Yep, that's the one. Great hole for spectators, I'm sure!

 

[G1BB0]

I will now announce who came last..... ME (I think)
not in the morning as had a storming front 9 for 17 points then the wheels fell of for the rest of the day. 9 points on the back 9 for a 26 point tally on the Marquess.

The Dukes was a round to forget, 9 measly points with 11 blobs
my inability to putt, chip and even a few air shots. Ahh well had a great blast with my playing partners Bratty, ScottDJ1 and Vig (at least I think it was Vig as they changed groups ). Despite the crap golf on my behalf we still had a few chuckles. Not sure about Vig's drive on 18, lets just say it was wind assisted

oi!! I got my "tan" from being sent down t'pit and up t'chimneys when I were just a lad.......:ears:

Haha I thought you got it free with your attire!


I forgot to mention my playing partners Rob, Dermott and Gary thanks for putting up with me for 36 holes, I had a great day.

Did they understand a word you were saying all day?
