West Hill Draw

[Rooter]

Just woken up from my food induced coma at home. Thanks Richard for organising, our group had a good time, the course played very well considering the weather we have had, thoroughly enjoyed it. Food was excellent, very good value for money!

Still annoyed with my self for 3 stabbing 6 times!!!! And still walking away with 30 points... Hey ho.. Putting practice for me coming up!

Shot of the day for me was sawtooths longest drive on the 18th! Absolutely smashed one up the middle measured at 269yrds (uphill) which was 35yrds longer than the leader at the time, just a shame it was his provisional after striking his first in the trees!

Can we play there mid summer with the food etc for £55 again????? Pretty please?

A great day, despite the cold. The breakfast and lunch were fantastic and it's a cracking course.
Thanks to Rich for organising another great day!

Picked up a few tips from Murph & Golfdud.

Finally: Can I propose my approach shot on the 18th for the 'Shot of the day'. 130y to the flag, thinned it with an 8 iron to see it sail past the pin, narrowly miss the clubhouse window and a bloke walking across, bounce off the wall and trickle down to the edge

Gofdud ? That's a bit harsh.

We were sitting behind that window taking evasive action.:angry:

Oooops I see how that sounded now.
I meant I just stayed in the rough allllllll day ;-( so I probably gave some good lessons in it

Great course, great food, great company.:thup:

Another really enjoyable day out , many thanks Richard for all your efforts organising this.:clap:

I played with Scott (Rooter) and Steve (Srcall) today, great guys and both played some very tidy golf albeit both a bit wasteful with the flat stick! I reckon they could/should have both been 5-6 points better off. As it was they scored very well in pretty testing conditions.

Me on the other hand was pretty wasteful through the whole bag and if it wasnt for my driving today the score could have been embarrassing. A massive 5 blobs and 26pts. I'm not one for making excuses, this score had nothing to do with the twenty layers of clothing that I had on.:mmm:

I took my camera and had every intention of taking loads of quality snaps but gave up due to frost bitten fingers, will post the few I took though.

It was nice to see familar faces and a few new ones as well. Already looking forward to the next GM meet. Cheers all for making it a great day out.

Cheers rich. It was a cracking day, if a bit chilly! The boys from brok enjoyed the day and the course was a treat. I'm not sure it's better than blackmoor though.

It was nice to sneak longest drive. I may have scraped it even if the big fella from Salisbury was there. The fairway ran out at 280

Sorry.. typed too fast.. shld be golfdub.. (though Jason may have felt that way a few times today)

We were sitting behind that window taking evasive action.:angry:

It was heart stopping for me too... suddenly all those advts for Golf Insurance flashed past my eyes... Luckily the bloke who was walking past saw it and stepped back. Else today would have been more memorable than I would have liked it..

It was too bloody cold to take pics. I took a few off my crackberry (so apologies for the poor quality)

Murp walks up towards the green on the 10th.. still not happy about being in the bunker.

Fantastic day even though I got there at 7.45am. Any other day and I would have been panicking that I would be late

It was a tad cold , but the course was in fantastic condition. The golf on the other hand was sadly lacking.

Thanks to Richard for organising a great day at a great course, and to Leftie and Jeremy for the great company. It was great to see lots of new faces and to catch up with some of the regulars.

That was me! I should have let it hit me, go down like a premier league footballer, and then get the lawyers onto the insurance company

Great org rich
Good course, very good company
Ok golf

Another new GM format competition : "Nearest the Longest Drive"

 

[Hooker]

Thanks for organising Richard, had a great time.

Another new GM format competition : "Nearest the Longest Drive"

Sev you forgot "shortest drive" wonder who would have won that ?!?!

I will own up to most amounts of putts after GIR, 5!!!!

 

[Swinger]

Glad everyone had a good time. Really gutted i couldn't be there. Was nice and warm though!

Extra bonus for the money back Richard. Nice touch!

glad nick won the long drive, means that no one would have been close!
not been doing much recently but it has been very big! Don't think I'd have worried the score!

well done for arranging everything Richard and sorry to let you down.

Photos please!!!!

 

[richart]

Photos please!!!!

I don't think there are any more Tiger.

Not sure what all the fuss about it being cold is all about. I had my M & S thermals, and was lovely and warm. Can fully recommend wind stopper gloves as well, thin enough to play in, but keep your hands lovely and warm. Can't believe Murph played without a hat, but I understand it ruins his hair.

Thanks to everyone for playing, and hope you all enjoyed a lovely course. When the trees are in leaf you can hardly see another fairway, but at this time of the year it is a bit open.

Special thanks to the ladies in the office, Jane and Gina, who could not have been more helpful. With the quality of the course and the friendliness of the staff, no wonder the course is so popular with Societies. I would be happy to arrange a return visit in the summer.

You'd have still felt it at 600ft above sea level at Tadmarton, I think I was warmer in Norway!
