Woburn - Important Information, (PLEASE READ)

Not too bad, physio was painful earlier but better now, got to back on monday for more though :( time for some painkillers in the form of beer now :)


Good luck, it was nice to meet you yesterday, despite you putting the mockers on my drive yesterday
 
Huge thanks to Lincoln Quaker and Oxfordcomma for the round today at Aylesbury Vale.
Teed off around 2:50 with LQ (9 h/c) forecasting doom and gloom and how he hadn't played to h/c in about 2 months.
6 holes later he was 1 over gross and ripping it up!!!! Luckily I was also on a bit of a run so my 1 over gross front 9 for 20 points just pipped his 19. OC had a fighting 16 points.
Back 9 started well until I shanked 1 on the 11th ( after a serious hip injury) and ended up with a double and 2 points behind LQ.
Reeled him in by playing the last 7 holes in level par to clinch it by 1 point 38 vs 37.

V happy with 4 over gross and great company. The £11 winnings went to MKdave for his toughh mudder challenge charity.

Finished off the evening with a curry and copious beers with LQ, OC, MkDave, Myoung and Fundy.

Really looking forward to tomorrow.
 
Thanks to Rob for the great organisation and Lawrence, Richard & Phil for their company, a very enjoyable day all round. I'd echo the comments about the quality of the respective greens on the two courses, which was a shame for me as I preferred the Duchess to the Dukes as a layout. Look forward to next years wherever it may be.

Great day was had and thanks for all your company, particularly our 4 ball ... :D

Agree with everyones comments re the courses, Dukes was my fav, greens were top notch, The Duchess was tighter and a little more strategic, the greens were nowhere near as good, a little bobbly and slow, but not terrible may have been down to the morning traffic.

Well done to Rob for making it a great day ....
 
I've had two great days Woburn and want to pass on my thanks to everyone involved for making it so enjoyable.

I will be sending an enquiry in for next year. Looking at late May early June should guarantee us 36 holes in a day, as I said to those present the price will be more expensive as this deal was on a winter rate due to the cancellation earlier in the year.

Todays results as follows.

mashleyr7 36pts
swingalot 34pts

Rob,

Brilliant day, well organised and superb fun. Really enjoyed your company and the courses were in great nick. Some good shots by everyone in our group and the odd bad one. At least the H4H benefited from my third prize as well so a great end to a great day
 
Just want to say a huge thanks for some generous donations today from some of the winners......

Swingalot: £35
Homer: £25
Wookie: £25

Also raised £55.97 from HFH wristband donations.......

Thanks again guys... :thup: :clap:
 
Big thanks to Paul, Paddy and Dave for their company today - they are all saints to put up with me banging down a provisional whenever in doubt. That said, they could all see clearly and I couldn't. My eyesight was "having a bad day"!!

I have to say that when Paul hits a ball, it stays HIT - easily longer than our drives...... with his 3wood! :eek: :thup:
Paddy's game came to play in the afternoon after an 18 hole warm up and those drives over the closing few hole made me green with envy. Looks totally effortless.
Dave - a last minute stand in for his dad - has complete confidence in his fade....although it is sometimes misplaced...the confidence, I mean! :whistle:
Paul and Dave - if you could've combined your draw and fade shots......hmmmmm!!! ;):D
Was a close match all the way down to the last - great fun guys! Thanks for making the day so much fun.

Finally a big thanks to Rob for organising such a great event! TOP JOB, MATE! :thup::thup::thup::thup:
Looking forward to next year!
 
Well 2hrs 15 mins to get home, what a day! Thanks to full throttle (rob) the day ran perfectly thanks to the effort you put in. Thanks to my playing partners, Simon,Steve and Ashley great day with two very good courses.
 
A great day.

Having now played all 3 courses at Woburn, my favourite is the Duchess. Hole after hole after hole of being surrounded on ALL sides by very tall pine trees, superb!

Thanks to Rob and Ben for their company during the day and putting up with my miserable face at more than the odd terrible shot. ;) :o

Thanks to Robert for a very well organised meet, I'll be in for next years renewal date depending.

Good to see all the usual faces plus some new ones too.
And finally well done to all the winners. By no means easy courses. :thup:

I took about a dozen pics of the Duchess course which I'll post when I can get Photobucket to work!! :angry:
