Just arrived back from a great meet. Robert had sorted everything out and it ran like clockwork - cheers mate!

I enjoyed a brilliant day with Rob (Full Throttle), Hooper and Warbur (Matt and Graham), and enjoyed meeting others from the forum who I havnt been to a meet with before. I have to say that Matt has the most exquisite draw and if it were for sale on Ebay I'd be bidding for sure!

Dukes was fabulous, Duchess greens were much slower but a good course. Got 35 points off my new handicap which pleased me greatly.

Lovely day spent with three guys I would happily play with any day
 
Survived 36 holes - and the trek home.

Big hand to FT - Well done mate - and thank you very much.

Big Thanks to AmandaJr and +1 (or indeed Dave) and Fundy for dragging me round and being such excellent company. For the record I had nothing to do with Fundy's injury!

Hope it gets better soon buddy!
 
indeed, I don't mind if greens have been treated as it might give me a few extra excuses ;)

13 points is decent tbh, I had 9 on the dukes last year!!!!!!

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...

Don't believe a word of it - I would pay money for that swing. A thing of beauty it is! And on that tee the difference was more like 10 yards.
 
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.

Does anybody who is going to be there, (or in the region), tomorrow night fancy a drink and a bite in MK? We ate last year at Las Iguanas, a cracking little Mexican details here:

Going to be there with Fundy, I'm staying at his place.....if there are no takers, we'll just hit a local bar/Indian.

Oooh Zinga!!!


I'm off the booze now because of training and have dinner already sorted, but Steve has my number if you need to rally the troops. We're 2 round-a-bouts away (thats me and my pops MYoung19)

Steve as my dad won't see this on here, might be worth a text to him inviting him for Curry (if you don't go to Las) I reckon he might be up for it. He'll also feel special if you ask him :)
 
Big thanks to Rob for organising the day which turned out to be one of the most enjoyable days golfing I have had. :clap:
As with all good days the company was excellent. Thanks to Chris, Graham and Rob for putting up with me for 36 holes and thanks to Chris for out driving all of us by 40 yards in the afternoon when we all hit really good tee shots. ;)
The Dukes for me is the better course and felt like the Duchess' big brother but I would jump at the chance of playing either course again as the surroundings were beautiful and both are a good test for the club player. You cannot be wayward off tee if you want to score well especially on the Duchess.

Thanks again to all and hope to see you at another meet soon.
 
Gentleman, please try and get to the venue before 720. I tee off at 0745 and would like to welcome you all and hand you your cards and stroke savers. Also I require £2 from each of you that wish to enter the 2's sweep.
