Sorry mate.
When you have to wear glasses to play in, you'll feel the same way when it's lashing down.
Total waste of time.

Had to put up with the same myself for years - contacts are the way to go , how do you manage to get through fishing ! Shame you won't be there , hopefully next time

Apart from the rain, which actually wasn't as bad as I feared it might be. it was a very good day

The Red Course is unique as it has 6 par3's, 6 par 4's and 6 par 5's , with no hole followed by a hole of the same par
It is a stunning course, think I preferred it to the Blue and not too far behind Swinley Forest, which is just over the road.

Winner had 36 points , I was well happy with 29 considering the conditions and recent health issues

3 pars and perfect greens which considering the wet, were very true

The Carvery was humungus , and very very good

The sun did pop out for a bit near the end and everyone started steaming :)

Great to see so many forummers there

Unlike Fragger I thought the rain was worse and more persistent than I was expecting, however that said it did not spoil my (and I hope my pp's) enjoyment of a stunning golf course, as Fragger said it is a great layout in fine condition. My thanks to Ian and Ben who provided good company all day and to Richard for providing the opportunity to play.

You were only two points off the guest prize Phil. Well played, and I agree the Red is better than the Blue. Considering the rain it was in great condition. Food is always great.

Hopefully next year the weather will be perfect.;)

Had a great day today on the Red Course. The weather was actually much better than I had feared.

Thanks to Phil for his invitation again. 👍

Smashing day out , many thanks for the opportunity to participate. Great to put some faces to forum names. Weather wasn't actually that bad apart from the squally bit on 12th and 13th. I went birdie par there, so maybe I needed more rain, cos I want up to much on the other 16 holes! :D
