You need to get in quick Jaqs!!!! in the Volvo, the first player to post the result gets the home tie in the next round.....for us thats a huge advantage as our greens have many subtle borrows that are not evident at first glance.
However if you just want to play at different courses then obviously no rush.....but don't miss the deadline!! :whoo:

Happy to play away at a course that might have reasonable greens! too late now - the ones below us have played and if we get thro we will be playing at Deer Park - sus doesnt like that course! I've never played it so have no views at all
;)
 
Went out in the 2nd round yesterday. Never really turned up. 4 down after 4. Almost got it back by the turn, had a real chance at the 15th to draw level but managed to Sherman a short approach into the clag and lost the hole. My oppo then wrapped it up on the 16th with a solid birdie. I don't know why, but I just felt really lethargic all day. Maybe it's the hay fever medication that I started a few days ago. To be honest, my oppo never needed to get out of 2nd gear really. It wasn't all bad though, I've arranged another trip up to Southport Old Links to play the guy again.

Very likely never mind the effects of hay fever adding to general fatigue. Tough luck on the loss but there's always next year and sounds like you've found a new golfing buddy.
 
Well me and tattiescone were on a hiding to nothing at Craigielaw today! Sorry GM team...

We played two lovely guys Alan who played off 6 and Andy off 8 - and they were on their game - lovely to watch them at work - so many shots into the green finding the flag! hey ho

anyway - we didnt disgrace ourselves with a granny or a dog licence and we had a fantastic round in beautiful sunshine with two great guys.

Sus unfortunately had no middle game today - and mine was suspect too - but luckily my short game was lethal ;)

So - the round - 2 down after 2 - halved the third with my putt. Lost 4th. Halves til the 9th which we lost when we were both victims of the rough.
4 down at the turn.
I won the 10th as i was stroking
Sus's putt on 11th lipped out for a half so back to 4 down
halves until the 14th and my chip onto the green was possibly the best shot i had played all day, one more roll and it would have been in, but the guys couldnt do better than my 4 net 3 anyway.
Lost the next hole and were dormie 4.

15th - supposedly SI18 - tough green! nothing sticks on it and we crashed and burned and shook hands.

Wonderful experience tho - huge thanks to GM for giving us the opportunity and we will definately return next year.

All the best to Alan and Andy in the next round ;)

Ahh tough luck Heidi but sounds like you had a grand day out and kept battling until the end - not much you can do when 2 low handicappers perform....

1 up with 2 to play. I missed a putt under a foot on 17 and lost hole then flew green with second at 18 and made bogey to loose match. We finished birdie, birdie, bogey, bogey!!!

Just heading off to Glenbervie to play my 1st round tie, It's been cancelled twice due to the course being unplayable so here's hoping it stays dry today.

won 5&4, was 4 up through 4 and even though I was pegged back to 2 up at the turn started back 3-3 and tied it up on the 15th. Absolute gem of a guy I played today ( wouldn't let me pay half of the visitor concession) and even though he wasn't playing too well wasn't in a foul mood about it.
Away to deerpark next round where I am giving away 8 shots. Tough ask but hey ho.
