Hopefully it wont be the case but if there is a last minute dropout due to illness or the like, there is someone who has shown an interest in coming tomorrow.

And forgot to say, any problems my mobile number is 07555 162739. I do not have internet access unless at home, so will last check online about 9.30pm tonight after that will need to phone my mobile.

Sounds good, can't wait!
Shameless plug - I've put a bag on for sale and can bring it tomorrow if anyone is interested in it.
Cheers and play well all!

Looking forward to a better day than last year weather wise. Staying overnight near Milton Keynes so hopefully will be in good time.

My Garmin has just gone dead. What a bummer.

Hope you all had a great time.

I played there last week and it was awesome weather and awesome golf! Proper looked after and the pro did some wicked discounts on goodies for me and my clients.

Excellent setup by them!

Many thanks to Darren for arranging the event today. As usual, the whole set up at Woburn is superb and you are always looked after well. Both courses were excellent with the only slight negative being the recent top dressing of the greens on the Duchess course. The food was also superb.

Many thanks for being great company to Chris, Andy and Lokesh.

Home now after a super day. Darren sorted some decent weather and the courses were good for the time of year, the Marquis being a delight to play. Woburn are very skilled at looking after their customers and always serve up a great meal.

Thanks to my guest Lokesh, old golfing pal Robbo (Andy) and to Bigfoot (Mark) who was great company and a good golfer too!

Cheers to Darren for his efforts putting this meet together

Glad to echo the comments on here. Thanks again for all your efforts, Darren - a day I'll never forget and met some smashing forum folk for the first time. Tremendous :thup:

Great day and good to being winning team.Wouls have preferred to play Marquess in the morning when I had energy in my legs!!Thirty six holes is at all order round there but was a brilliant experience. Greens far tougher than Beau Desert, in fact trickiest greens I've ever ever played on . Well doneDarren for organising a fantastic day. The staff at Woburn were top drawer as well.
PS my Garmin is fine, it was cheap batteries from Poundland that were the problem!!

Wow, what can i say. I had a cracking time at Woburn. Loved both courses, thought the whole day was great.
The for was amazing and i ate a lot, the bacon butty on arrival was spot on as well (they didn't scrimp on the bacon)
Played with 3 people who I hadn't played with before. All 3 of them were fantastic company all the way round. Was treated to some cracking shots by Spear chucker ( boy can he hit a ball).
I have now inflicted my unique swing on some more people..

Darren thank you for organising this and for providing great weather.

Look forward to the next one.

It has to be seen to be believed but it gets the job done (sometimes)

What a difference a year makes, the courses so much drier and the weather so much nicer, even got down to a tee shirt for a few holes.

Was great to met a some more people from the forum and put faces to names.

Some of the Marquees course we were put off the reds and some were off the back tees. OMG having to tee off on the 12th from the back tees meant IIRC approx. 220 yard carry just to reach the middle 'island' fairway The pros play a different game for sure.

After last year not getting a par on all 36 holes, I managed to get a par on the first on the duchess and my playing partners giving me gip on the 1st tee, what did make me smile was that the starter also decided to join in with the banter Hurt my hip on the 8th in the afternoon, and managed 18 points on the front nine on the marquess and then 4 points on the back nine:rofl:

Was a pleasure to follow and eat lunch with Spear-chucker, Wildrover, Midnight and Butchercd. Hope one day I have the pleasure of playing golf with any of you. Was nice to reminisce about the afters served up at RSG with Chris. Guy appeared to have a smile on his face all day:thup: Was great to chat to Rob and if his Robs son has a swing as nice as his dads, he is going to be a good golfer.

Cracking day, really enjoyed it and a big thanks to Woburn and the weather.

My 3 playing partners were all woosies, none of them had a go, they all laid up! They should be banned from future forum meets!
