Woburn - Important Information, (PLEASE READ)

Really looking forward to Woburn - thanks for all the organising FT.

According to the BBC, temperature will be 19 degrees with light cloud! I suppose that's ok................!! :)

+1 on the thanks for FT, as for the weather it's England, it's September, dry is a result, 19 degrees is positively tropical.

FT, do you know if we can get a full breakfast there, on payment, obviously. It would save me from the Premier Inn's offering....

If you have a full breakfast then a carvery 4 hrs later you won't be able to move for the afternoon round. I hope you have a buggy. :D
 
Top job FT looking forward to making GM meet debut and first crack at Woburn.Have a good day you boys Wed let us know how you get on.
 
Great stuff FT, very excited. My old man is warming up at Brocket Hall today (Myoung19) I'm a tad jealous! Said in the car on the way to work that I wish I'd booked up for both days now theres a days rest inbetween.

Was flushing a few clubs at the range last night so appears I've wasted my good ones for Friday.

Look forward to meeting a few more of you - and reminding you that I'm taking on Tough Mudder and that if you can you should donate to the H4H links set up by Rick and comment TM or Tough mudder in your donation message :whistle:

looking forward to this, off work for the rest of the week so will be practice, practice, practice as playing crap atm :(
 
Massive thanks to Rob for organising yet another great forum meet. Was great fun to play with Stuart, Amanda and Dave, apologies for not lasting the course and hope you enjoyed the rest of the 2nd round (were probably glad to be rid of me lol)

for those of you in the "Fundy is a cripple" sweepstake, the winning answer was 26 holes :(

As for Woburn, there was quite a difference in quality between the 2 courses. The Dukes was in outstanding condition, couldnt ask for better, especially at this time of year. Sadly, imo, the Duchess was not in as good condition, especially the greens, which appear to have been treated and were half the pace of those on the Dukes, I think most had a lot of trouble adjusting. Lunch was OK (its certainly been better in the past). We started in a bit of fog, couldnt see much more than 100 yards for the first couple of holes, though it soon lifted, hopefully will be clear for those of you playing friday.

I think the winning score in the morning was a more than respectable 39 points, I expect the afternoon wont require as high a return to be successful, though I expect Rob will update the full scores later.

Once again thanks to Rob for all his hard work and hope Fridays day runs as smoothly as todays

Thought you were playing the Marquess and Dukes? Have played the Dukes and Marquess and out of the two, the Dukes is my favourite. Looking forward to playing the Duchess though - shame you thought it wasn't as in good a condition. Will see what it's like on Friday.
 
Looking forward to this so much now. I'm playing betchworth park Thursday which requires a 6am start from home the. Friday l'll need to leave about 5am!! I've clocked up nearly 2,000 miles this month round the m25 a few times.
 
We had a great day but sad to see Steve's shoulder give way in the afternoon. He and Stu (El Bandito) were great company - as was HID :-) I played like a twonk in the morning and less twonkish in the afternoon. I blame the fog! Lunch was good and agree that The Dukes was in much better condition than The Duchess.

Highlight was the friendly fox on the last hole - amazing to see one so close and for so long (she followed us), closely follwed by owning the longest drive for more than a group or two...what a laugh if I'd won it :cool: Oh, before anyone suggets a huge advantage the tees were 20yds apart!!

Thanks Rob for organising a great day - happy to do the same at Woburn again although would go Marquess/Dukes...
