But you didn't add to the winning score ⛳️

#OwnedByTheFish

Had to let you old farts have a few matches to stop it looking like a whitewash 😉 In all fairness though that's one of the best and closest matches I've ever played!

Probably one of the first to arrive home.......phew I feel like a true old fart!!
Great two days of golf (I watched some anyway) lovely to meet up with some of the forum regulars and some newbies.
Thanks for the company yesterday, Tony and Gary, (they played some of the great golf I saw) and of course my partner in defeat Roger😍. Today It was Dan and Robins time to show how it's done, and for a newbie Jack, gonna be up their with the best before long.
Forest Pines and Beeches looked as good as ever and big fat thanks to Rob for organising.

Just arrived home. Big thanks to Steve (puttputtsteve) for being my chauffeur.

Also thanks to Richard, Mike and Jack for forcing my golf on them on day 1. Thanks to Chris Smiify and Ian for exactly the same on day 2.

Special thanks to Smiffy for all his hard work, can't wait to see the picture of him in his nice new top!!!

Just to echo what others are saying
Great 2 days of golf
Great company
And
Well organised ..... Take a bow Smiffy

Met some new forumers, now got faces to go with names

Thoroughly enjoyed the 2 rounds
1st round Doubles Partner Dan 2844 showing us all how to swing faster than Bubba :D
Against Crow and LIG
Plenty laughs, golf not exactly vintage though

Then today again with Nick ( crow ), singles opponent, plus Dave and Ian

The old farts took a right old thrashing , but I'm sure Rob will galvanise his troops for another attempt in 2017

A great couple of days.

Thanks to Roger, Jan, Tony, Richard, Mike and Steve for your company during the games, and a massive :thup: to Rob for all the organising.

Also to Dave for running the sweep.
That helped ease the burden of the bar prices ;)

I love forum meets, but the overnighters are always that little bit better because you have time to chat to more people and put a few more faces to silly made up names :D

Looking forward to next year, and seeing if I'm still a 'snapper.

Echo what everyone else had said, a really good couple of days with a good crowd!

hopefully next year I'll be hitting more than a 5 iron off the tee, as khamelion will tell you all my 3 wood goes a little bit right at the minute!

does anyone know what happened to the pics which got taken, will they be put up on here?

i got a few pics, but will be 2moro before i have chance to up load.. there's an England game on, and Khamelion and I only got home 20 mins ago due to a crash on the A1 and we were stuck for over an hour, then a detour around the world to get home...

Got home at about half 7 after a detour cross country to avoid the A1.
Cracking weekend on a cracking set of courses. Brilliant organising from the man Smiffy.
Thanks to Jim, John and Ian for the company and the competition on Sunday and to John for the battle today with Stu (Kraxx68) and Steve Dorsett for letting us tag along to make the 4.

Delivered 2 points for the whippers so happy with my contribution.

Thanks everyone that attended and was great to put some faces to names and to meet you all. Be back next year for sure.
