Rain not due until 4 pm now :thup:
Just got woke up to a loud noise and found we've got a branch from next doors tree crashed onto/through our fence, the noise from the wind outside is the loudest I've ever heard! It's bin men tomorrow but there all over the close, it's a tad windy, the house is creaking everywhere !!
Gonna be fun if this storm Frank is as bad down south but I think we're only getting the edge of what's hitting north of us now, poor buggers.

Come on we're waiting to here, who has the forum distances and who doesn't 
Huge thanks to Rick for hosting the day, I know Paul will be gutted to have missed out but as 1 door closes another opens, and the Fsh was their to slither in :smirk:
Got down nice and early, now the speed restrictions & roadworks have been finished & removed it took me only an hour
Anyway, a nice sausage sandwich and an even better Latte was consumed whilst waiting for everyone to arrive, once all together we headed off to the range to hit some balls into storm Frank who was just starting to flex his muscles and then a few putts & chips and then threw the balls in the air.
The pairings were;
Rick & Ben (Rickg & Oxfordcomma)
Vs
Robin & Steve (Fish & ArnoldArmChewer)
do I need to go on........
Although I started very well in very tough conditions and we won the 1st 2 hole's quite comfortably, we found ourselves 2 down on the turn
A quick huddle & chat and I decided to to use my Mini-driver when it was tight and the big dog when it was a little more open, Steve was driving great and had a brilliant back 9 (6 pars), and with me now using my shots better in support, we shook hands on the 16th green turning over their 2-up lead to win the back 9 and match :whoo:
There were some funnies, some great drives, brilliant chips and some right howlers from everyone, which all added up to a great days golf in very testing conditions, which some of the pictures that I will add later will show, and what happens on tour (forum meet) stays on tour, so don't ask :ears:
Best overall individual score of the day went to Steve which was a great turnaround to his front 9, the match was won by Steve & Fish.
Thanks Rick, it was emotional
Thanks also to my partner Steve for being great company and Ben as always :thup:

Boys. A big thank you from me, fish you were a pleasure to partner, Ben you played really well despite being ricks partner. Rick throw away the big stick and work with that one iron.
I was happy to double my front nine score on the back and gain at least a respectable score in very trying weather.
I had a great fun day with 3 pp,s who I would happily play with anywhere anytime, so thanks again to Rick for hosting.

Rick, my thanks as well for the invitation and for hosting us, that was a very enjoyable round of golf! And thanks as well to Steve and Robin, as you've both already said we had a good time today despite the wind, and being able to play virtually the whole round without the waterproof jacket was an unexpected bonus. Rick, I know you complained about the muddy fairways but you're definitely right when you said that the greens are superb. Would love to have a go on those in the summer when they're running, some of them will be lethal.
Highlight of the round for me is probably my putt (singular) on the first, that was the very first putt in anger with the new stick and to see it curl in and drop was lovely. Lowlight was totally forgetting how to use a driver after it had gone so well for the first half dozen holes

Absolutely. There was only one hole, I think, where I actually had to brace myself against the wind because standing upright was a challenge. And my ball only blew off a tee once. Really quite gentle
