Woodhall Spa Final Thread

[Region3]

arrived back in Sneckie at 10.30 last night after driving straight though and only stopping for Fuel.

Great week end and a big thank you to Gary and the gys for orgainsing a great weekend.

Also to all the guys i played with over the weekend and my poor partner RickG who had to put up with my poor golf over the weekend, but it was to be expected after starting a swing change.

:thup:

It was good to meet you, and if a dedication prize was on offer you'd have took it with a 10hr drive each way to play 2 rounds of golf with a swing you're in the middle of rebuilding.

I just have to say though, the biggest disappointment of the weekend for me is that I now can't read your posts in my head in a Scottish accent!

No mate I'm using my phone.Ive just moved house and I have no Internet to the 15th.Sorry I know your getting old now and these things test you.And please can you get some colour back in your golf attire.

 

[rickg]

Many thanks Gary & Glyn for organising such a fine meet on a remarkable course in excellent weather. It was good to meet so many guys from the more southerly regions as well as a fellow NE'er, Ian.... who I've PM'd... well at least I think its him, Leftie!!
Many thanks Andy for putting up with my crap efforts to support you, & also to Jimb/Phil, Tony & Adie for their company & back-woodsman's efforts in locating my drives & also ensuring I returned safely from the many bunkers visited...... 16, I counted.... unbelievably out in one every time:fore:...... my achievement of the weekend.:thup:

Great weekend and good to meet so many new faces. What a good laugh and the weather was perfect, my arms are red raw as I didn't think I would need suncream for the day

Well done to Gary and Andy for a brilliant score on Saturday 44 points betterball of 3/4 was just excellent and well done for winning the event overall and a big well done to phil for carrying jimbob around Saturday after watching his tee shots all over the show to find out they had 41 points was unreal :rofl:

Highlight for me IBSmith on the 18th on the bracken, tee shot down the right into the trees, 2nd shot low punch hits the tree and flies back over his head nearly killing him and rob, 3rd shot straight over the tee straight on the flag, hits the hole and pitchmark is inside the cup and the ball stopped an inch away for a tap in par, unreal golf

Really enjoyed the weekend as I had my best round of the year and felt like I had got some form back as i had 4 birdies but the hotchkin soon brought me back down to earth this morning when I knocked in round in 30 points in a society game and 3 putted at least 5 times :angry:

Thanks Gary for organising a fantastic weekend at such a great venue!

Thanks also to playing partners for the weekend, Greg, Matt, Brian and Ian, and special thanks to Gordon for chauffeuring me!

Looking forward to more forum meets in the future.

Back online after a small hiccough with the broadband so firstly...

A BIG THANKS to Gary and Glyn for setting up such a glorious weekend down to the finest details, including the weather. Top Job! :thup:

Two cracking courses....except for the deep, greenside bunker on the Hotchkin 4th. That's a difficult one to get out of ...... if you're playing the 2nd!

Next, thanks to my venerable playing partner, and senior member of the forum, Leftie, for putting up with four hours of me on consecutive days. A medal may be in order. Thanks also to rickg & patricks148 and LincolnQuaker & Chris for their company on Saturday and Sunday.

Rick - I think all those minstrels may have affected your swing on Saturday. :lol:
Patrick - forget lessons to rebuild your swing - all you need is to play a round with Glyn (LincolnQuaker) and your short, half-swing will be transformed into an "Els"-like thing of beauty! :ears:
Glyn - You were deffo "in the zone" yesterday... four birdies! :thup:


And I just have to mention Hooper (Matt) and his "Chicken" Carvery. :rofl:

2blue don't know if it was me you were supposed to pm, I am Ian (iand) member at cobble hall.

Thanks Ian, but no, it was Leftie... the Geordie & I've found him thanks.... will catch up with you around Leeds sometime I'm sure.... m or perhaps up at Hobbit's Wynyard in Sept... NE V Yarksur return match

Thanks to Jimbob for the company in the car and to LIG for allowing me to experience LIG's white knuckle rides...:rofl:

We got all the way there AND back without a single accident, didn't we?

 

[LIG]

Great weekend and good to meet so many new faces. What a good laugh and the weather was perfect, my arms are red raw as I didn't think I would need suncream for the day

Neither did I!
:rofl:

 

[cookelad]

Neither did I!
:rofl:

Nor me! Isn't aftersun expensive!!!!

Forgot to mention a big thanks to Crow for the Chocolate Hob-Nobs on the 14th and 18th tees, were they off the shelf or custom fit, as I played my best golf of the weekend under the influence of at least 4 Hob-Nobs!

I think Rick's bag might have been "overloaded" so they got left behind in the car ....for the trip back down!

LOL @ this...

Saturday was a good day, Jimbo was a little bit slow to start but performed when he needed to. I think we were a pretty good mix as a pair. We were very lucky at the start as i shot 4 straight par's but my putting was on form and seemed to be going in from all angles and distances.

Sunday we weren't too bad, but both had a fair few holes where we both struggled, I think on the Hotchkin we both shared the course with 9 holes each.

Once he sorts out his new white taylormade driver he'll be on fire!

Good news is that I was out with a black one tonight with different shaft / loft and was hitting it like a god ... I'm blaming the company and the pressure of the weekend ...
