If my surgery has been completed by then am I OK to go off the reds?

Talking of surgery- will the children have had their dummies surgically removed by the day? Can't be doing with all their crying when they get their bottoms well and truly spanked

Too much to hope for, so my idea is to give all of them a bag of sweeties and that ought to keep them mesmerised and diverted from trying to claim advantage when all the while we will' expectations found then into the dirt.

Its not the carry i am worried about its the depth

It's a bugger of a hole. I don't think I've ever scored a point on there all the times I've played it.
All about the drive. You have to knock a decent one up the middle but anything slightly blocked or faded will bounce up under some trees as the fairway does tend to kick to the right.
Too far left and you lengthen the hole and it's a big shot to clear the water.

You are then stymied.

Too far.

I know you give it a smack but to reach the fairway the other side is well over 300 carry. Even if you hit it that far it isn't worth the risk because unless you're arrow straight you'll be blocked out by trees.

It's 260 up the fairway short of the water then 220 to the green :thup:

When you're playing a Stableford as on previous visits you Jodrell....
:mad:
Sorry Smiffy, I have been told if we can get to you the rest of your team will crumble, hit the lynchpin was the captains advice.

Also i think it was not made clear in your post about any previous visit.

And what is a jodrell is that a word from the 1920s.?
