Thanks to gopher99/Jon, Shaun and Steve for the game today. Warm & enjoyable. Some quirky holes, and although we holed a few putts, the tricky greens took more than they gave!
Cheers to the organisers.
The lucky so-and-so's moving on to Sunningdale, have a great couple of days 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️🍻

Nice to meet you Iain, Shaun and Steve. Good luck to you guys at Sunningdale, and was good to put faces to forum names.

The only way to play the first is to duff your tee shot to cheers from the gallery, chip on for 2, 2 putt and walk off with nett 2 points thanks very much (y)
For us lefties you can also hook your tee shot into the trees on the right - then walk up and two putt when you find the ball on the green 🤔🤔😎

Glad to hear people had a good time - I'm there Thursday, which just may be a tad warm for our 1400 tee time 😯

If its your first time then be prepared for the 12th.... a par 5. Can hit & hope or play 3 x 7-irons ..... god knows how the locala play the hole

As I told anyone who asked - lay up to top before the drop, play 2nd down to the bottom, wedge/9/8 iron on to the green, 1 putt for birdie.

OR, As Paperboy wanted the macho route, blast it exactly on the right line to the bottom tier leaving about 168 to the pin and take another ....(hmmm how many Simon?) :unsure:

Long way from my first time (hence knowing the layout of the first) 😀
Locals play that hole in many different ways, the most common being trying to knock it all the way to the bottom from the tee...and accidentally laying up with a miss hit 🤔 In yesterday's match we played up, one opponent hit long right enough to be in some grass and the other tonked it all the way, followed by an approach to 10ft 🤗 we both made 5, they won that hole...I returned the favour with 3w/5i to 16 to win the match!
I love the course, except the 12th

I ended up with a very good bogey thanks Roger :p
