The Golf Thread

Good question.
It appears that Penks back is improving. We're hoping Johnny's knees are up to it too.

Weekends in september are as follows:
sat 6 & sun 7
sat 13 & sun 14
sat 20 & sun 21
sat 27 & sun 28

Aside from the 20th, I'm good for all except possibly 6th. However we have a fair few STH's who might prefer sundays?
I can be flexible regarding venues.

September is a shocker for me, due to holidays and looking after the kids - also, does it have to be a weekend?

 

[Penk Wolf]

I can't really do weekends either.

And having tempted the driving range last night my backs aching a bit. Probably still be able to play, but will have to rest it a bit for a couple of days after.

It's 99.9% certain I wouldn't be able to get any time off work on a weekday between now & mid/late october, as it is my busiest period at work. That's why I suggested a september weekend a while ago.

However I can appreciate that if for the majority a weekday works, I wouldn't be able to defend my crown. But if that works better for you lads, fair enough. We'll have to arrange a game next summer though.

As it has been sunny, I got the sticks out today. First round since last august. Pleased to do hill top in a 92, even with 2 poor holes carding 8's.
Still, feeling a little more comfortable with these clubs now.

Faldo will be playing his final Open this July.

 

[lemonjelly]

So, will there be a TWF golf day out or 2 this year?

 

[Del Woppio]

Yeah man. I'm a lot more flexible this year too.

 

[Johnny75]

Yeah man. I'm a lot more flexible this year too.

I'm up for that. No more kids due so I'm up for this.

 

[lemonjelly]

Cracking stuff gents. I'll be good for options post 22 May.
Any other posters interested? Penk?

 

[Penk Wolf]

I'm certainly up for a game, date depending.

 

[Del Woppio]

Gah. Two out of the eight that were coming to Celtic Manor have had to drop out. Anybody fancy it?

Staying here...

Fri, sat, sun night, two rounds, £300. We've got to pay anyway, so could happily take it over the next few months given the notice!

 

[Johnny75]

Sorry Delbert bit too short notice for me. Looks nice though, are you playing both courses?

 

[Del Woppio]

Doing roman Road and the monty. 2010 was £150 extra, so declined! Plated there last year though

 

[Johnny75]

I think Roman road and Monty are beautiful courses. Hard but very nice to play. How's the handicap now?

 

[Del Woppio]

Getting better! Cut a lot of the shit long game stuff out, so giving myself chances to score. Struggle from 40-50 yards out though, I'll either slide under it sending it ten yards, or catch it fat and go over the green. Generally 20-23 over par though. Was 4 over for a back nine on Sunday, so it's in there!

 

[lemonjelly]

Did patshull in 94 yesterday with my dad.
2 years ago I'd have been delighted with that score. Despite it only being the 2nd round of the year, I didn't feel it went that well. Indeed, I was surprised at the score when I added them up.
Perhaps I'm getting used to the clubs a bit?

 

[Del Woppio]

What a round of golf :dance:

Course is a par 73, and though I'm off 22 I've only broken 95 here once before, as we don't play it very often.

Only shot 89 including 2 penalties

First time under 90

43 points

Net 67

Only 30 putts

Beat my mate for the first time in 3 years

San Miguel in the bar

Steak for dinner

Nice one Delbert.

I had a mare yesterday at Patshull. 3 lost balls. 10 on one hole. 9 on another.
Almost managed to make my card look borderline respectable on the back 9. Was doing ok, then went 3-4-3 on 15, 16 & 17.

My inconsistency is what you get for not playing regularly I guess. Only the 3rd or 4th time this year.

Why is the US Open being played in a Quarry?

Bit of a push to say the Greens are green.
