Thursday 3rd March @ The Bedford

Re: Thursday 3rd March

Right I was off on the 4th March but a bit of sliding about means I'm free on the 3rd March if you don't mind me tagging along? I'm not fussed about having to pay £25 if no one else can join up and I don't have any 2-4-1's anyway.

Consider yourself in :)

We don't need vouchers, it's a club deal.

One space left folks, just £12.50 for Bedfordshire's version of Augusta!! :D
 
Re: Thursday 3rd March

Superb! My first Forum Game!

I can't wait for you an fundy to tell everyone else just how brilliant I am :D

Should be really good though I'm excited already!
 
Re: Thursday 3rd March

That's great news Dave.

I rang and booked it this morning. 11am on the dot :)

Since we have 3 I've asked someone (long story) if they'd like to play as well but don't know how long it'll be before I get a reply, so there might be room for one more, might not.

I'll post back here as soon as I know.
 
Re: Thursday 3rd March

Sorry , I havnt been on for a few days to check things cos I cant get this forum anymore at home. Managed to get a few free minutes at work.

I would have said come to mine but it wont be in as good a shape as it will in May.

I played the Bedford last year and really enjoyed it. A couple of daft holes but overall it was a good days golf with some thought needed off the tee and some ability to shape shots would help. Greens were good and fairly fast when we played aswell.

Glad to hear a good review of the course. I just need to remember to sort some old balls out for the holes with water left AND right off the tee!

PM sent about May :)
 
Re: Thursday 3rd March

We are now a 4-ball.

The 4th is my Uncle who I haven't seen for about 4 years, and who is partly responsible for me getting back into golf after a 20 year break.

He's not played for about a year so may not be shooting the lights out, I hope nobody will mind.

Really looking forward to it now :)

yay that's saved me £12.50 :D

I'm looking forward to it too mate.

I trust we'll speak before the meet to discuss minor details?

I don't know how far north fundy is from ;) but I'd have been happy to split the £50 3 ways if we'd not got a 4th.

I'll PM you my mobile number. What other details were you thinking of?
 
Re: Thursday 3rd March

Thanks.

Just meant details for the day eg what time we want to meet there. That's it actually haha.

Ive Pm'd you my number now. I've got fundy's.

If it's 11am tee time I'd like to get there at least half hour before hand.
 
Re: Thursday 3rd March

Re: Thursday 3rd March

A big thanks to Gary, Colin and Dave, a most enjoyable game despite the biting wind.

Well played Gary and Colin, they managed to triumph 2&1 over myself and Dave, deservedly so too :(
 
Re: Thursday 3rd March

man you lot must be brave, that wind was bloody freezing this morning, I couldnt feel my fingers after my 1st job.

glad you all enjoyed it though :)

whats the course like? me and a mate who lives in beds are making a list of courses to play this spring/summer
 
Re: Thursday 3rd March

Honest appraisal of the course is its not great imo. The big plus in winter is that it was almost bone dry today, nearly every other course round here is seriously boggy and have come off without a mark on my trouser legs!!!, other big plus was its 2 for 1 on tues or thurs so green fee was only £12.50. The club were very welcoming (the guy in the shop lent me a Garmin S1 GPS watch to try), food afterwards was good etc.

The actual layout and situ of the course was the slight disappointment. It weaves amongst a new housing estate which is still being built, and also has several electricity pylons on the course, yet is still open to the elements (wind!). The layout seems a bit confused and several times we didnt know where the next tee was. That said it was in decent condition, the greens were ok for the time of the year and the fairways were better than any ive seen since about September.

Worth playing but wouldnt rush back personally (solely down to course design) and could see me heading there in winter if my own course was waterlogged

I concur! Nice day out, nice people, not such nice golf from me, but 2 out of three is never bad!

Look forward to playing again.
