The Berkshire Wed 18th March

Calm down you lot, it's only ranked #43 in the UK......the are 42 better courses :whistle:
 
There's getting up early and there's this................are we all barking :mmm:

I hope the motorways are kind, safe journeys everyone :cool:
 
Just got back from an absolutely fabulous day at the Berkshire. The Red is an amazing golf course and has instantly become my favourite.

Big thanks to Richart and the Mariners for making us feel so welcome.
 
Back home nice and safe

Another lovely day out - the course gets better everytime I play it

Cheers to Tony for a great laugh and round

I am not so sure that Phil actually attended today. There was this person that looked like him but was wearing a very dull & boring outfit - could only have been an imposter :)

Classic look for an upmarket golf club :o
 
Excellent day out, many thanks to Rich for the invite and for the banter all the way round. Not often you see all 4 players birdie the same hole including a woman playing off the mens tees!
 
Wow what a great day out.
Thx to all that warned me of road works that led me to leaving at 4.50 am
getting to the Berkshire at 6.45 am no one there but the green keepers
Yes I panicked I hate being late or rushed.
First person I saw was Fish he too panicked.
Thx to Phil and the Mariners society for the invite.
Im too thinking this is the best heathland course I have played tough decision though.
Had 33 points and had 5 3 putts just could not get the pace until the last 2 holes.
Phil was as solid as ever and if it wasn't for a disappearing ball would have won,as it
is he was 2nd loser.
The two gentlemen David and Patrick were superb company and very complementary
of some good golf.
Just need to get myself a 2nd home in Surrey and will be sorted I seem to be over that
way more than home.
Must admit the traffic and speed of some cars going towards London is frightening
would not like to be doing that trip every day.
 
Just home and all I can say is Wow, what a great course, possibly the best inland course I've played and would push Formby for my overall ever best!

Only down side was it went so quickly, I looked at my card and because I started on the 12th (easy par) it was easy to lose track but suddenly I only had 3 holes to go and I felt like I could go around again, or at least I wanted to, it was so enjoyable, so many beautiful holes and views from the tee boxes made it effortless to walk around, certainly can't wait to go back again as I now know where not to go and how to play it slightly differently to the way I did, without an unusual slice, where the hell has that come from!

I took loads of pictures which I will load up later, but a huge thanks to Rich for the invite, always nice to see Lee who was my playing partner at H4H's Blackmoor in 2012, thanks to today's partners Metal Mickie (Dick) and the Mariner & his guest Michael.

The food was excellent, although I missed the starter as I just joined the queue I could see for the carvery but the main course & pudding was more than good enough.

I would like to make a request though please, can I not be in the last tee group next time, you all nicked the hot water, the weather gods were superb but a cold shower was a little early for this time of the year!
