sounds about right

Errr, and you? Don't be jibbing out on us, matey boy!

Indeed.

And many thanks for your mercy this time, Mr Secretary: the memory of my embarrassing collapse must still be fresh.

Lift is still no problem, Blurred.

Excellent, many thanks.

I shall be getting my practice in this weekend as I'm jetting off to Ireland on Friday for our annual hack around a couple of incredibly nice courses. Hopefully upon my return I'll find the gentle slopes, softer greens and non-existant rough of Regent's Park a breeze having been toughened on Royal Portrush and the like.

If I have any golf balls left, that is.

Is anyone putting themselves forward for booking up some tee times? I'm not about to do it this weekend, otherwise I would...

You're alright, fella. I don't mind doing it but they won't let you book until one week before hand. I've just remembered that I'm off next week an' all so might be able to get a practice round in or two. God knows I need 'em.

whinge whinge fecking whinge that's all I ever hear with handicaps, and those that whinge most usually aren't far off the reckoning either.

IF i can play, I shall, as reigning champ and bearing in mind a run of 11 holes for +4 in last year's event, take 11. Which is a fecking disgrace really but if it'll keep you quiet....

[ratbert]

Is 16 right for my handicap? I'm probably closer to Bruce than Hotdog in terms of numbers, though I got 101 in my only round of the last eight months.

And what time are we meeting on the day?

Compared to mine it seems about right - I got 94 in my only round of the last year (although that was at Arrowe Park, which is pretty simple), and I'm a few under you. Perhaps we should both get a couple of extra shots - deal?

And what time are we meeting on the day?

Depends what tee-times we can book - someone will need to give 'em a bell on Sunday to book ahead for next week. Last year it was about a half-ten tee off, I think.

[Dr Hotdog]

Last year we had a fairly late tee time, between 11 and 12.

I'm campaigning for an earlier one this year, between 10 and 10:30.

Just done a quick search and the first one had tee times of 1026 and 1033.

[Dr Hotdog]

hmmm, I was pretty certain it was a late one last year because I was in a rush to get to band practise for 4 o'clock and didn't stick around for the prize giving ceremony. I didn't even find out me and Commie had won until I saw it in his signature on here a few days later!

Anyhow, the earlier the better this year

[Bruce Rioja]

I've just tried to book a little in advance but met with some functionary digging his heels in regarding the seven day rule.

[ratbert]

I'm most likely to be coming to the course straight from Brum so not too early please...

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

Yeah, earlier than 10.30 would be a bit of a pain for me too.

Golf

so after 3 years and at least 3 threads on this, you've managed to come up with that?

Golf

.....is a many splendoured thing
It's the April rose that truly grows in the early Spring.
Golf is natures way of giving, a reason to be living,
The smashing drive that makes a man a king.

Once, on a high and windy hill,
in the morning mist, my golf club kissed, that shiny white round thing
Then my fingers slipped, upon the club, and I did a highland fling.
Yes golf is, a many spleandoured thing...


Will only make sense to older members, probably.

I was scarred as a child by golf, pushy familly and all, but despite constant pressure i was always TERRIBLE, i think the lowest i ever got my handicap was 33, and that was after 4 years of being forced to play nearly every weekend. As a result of being rubbish, stressed, and wet, i understand the highlighted line perfectly well 3 wood in the pond at Chorley. Oops

You played nearly every weekend for 4 years and the best you could get to was 33?!

So anyway, does this mean you're a late entry? I'm sure you could talk your playing partners into submission, at any rate!

Bloody hell, I could throw a golf ball round in less than that. Been waiting ages to get that one in.
