Looks a nice course - and a bargain!

I know Southerners think Britain stops at Watford and Windsor, but pushing a bit to be 'North' isn't it - apart from Wales?

[aces_up1504]

Cant hang around too much afterward so my vote would be snack first.

[Aquarius]

I'm not bothered about food tbh.

[Steptoe]

again not too bothered about food, O.M and me will both be eating during the round :)

[ANDYTROW]

Aces. It looks like I may have to travel with work on the NW golf day.
Better scratch me off the list. If I owe you anything let me know.

Snack before and meal afterwards gets my vote.:)
Do we have tee times yet?

[Steptoe]

there must be more guys that this willing to play a cheap links.

come on ppl- its my comback round, dont you wana see me crash and burn??:o

[euros]

as it is halfway inbetween my old home and my new one in manchester i feel like i should make an apperance at this event.

but with a wedding the weekend after i may have to miss it which is a shame as north wales is a good track.

[Ian]

How long to drive from near swindon? Not doing anything Sunday week! :eek:

[3puttwizard]

How long to drive from near swindon? Not doing anything Sunday week! :eek:

4 hrs..... You are a man on a mission...:eekw::laugh:

[aces_up1504]

on a mere 3 1/3 drive Ian and we are teeing off late afternoon ;)

Come on Euro's at £10 its a baragain.

First Tee is at 15.30.

[euros]

maybe if Ian wanted to come and share the petrol i would be tempted........

[Troon Stevie]

I would happily have made the trip again for this but it's my nephews 18th birthday party the night before and it's far funnier taking the P*ss out of teenager when you've had a few so no driving long distances on Sunday for me

[aces_up1504]

appreciate the thought troon! Will have to get up to scotland for a game one day!

[Ian]

How many are playing - if space could get wife to play too and make a weekend of it!

Also - how serious is it? My wife hasnt broken 100 yet, but gets it round fine as she hits is short but straight!!

Where is Didsbury? and would I pass it going M5 / M5?

[aces_up1504]

We still have spaces left so your wife is more than welcome, we already have have a lady golfer comming in Aquarius

I dont think it will be very serious more of a friendly knock.

If you want to make a weekend of it. Aberdovery Golf course is about an hour away (ish i think) They have bedrooms to hire, I think its £75 per person whicn includes Breakfast and a round of golf.

Check out http://www.top100golfcourses.co.uk/htmlsite/productdetails.asp?id=142 and http://www.aberdoveygolf.co.uk/dormy.htm for more info, looks a crackin course also!

[Ian]

W e fly to Portugal on the Thursday of the following week, so need to see what jobs are needed before 2 weeks hols. (AKA Will nag her about it this weekend!)

[Aquarius]

We still have spaces left so your wife is more than welcome, we already have have a lady golfer comming in Aquarius


Yeah, I'll be there and I'm not a good player as I haven't got out onto the course enough until now, so I know how your wife feels Ian :) Hope you can both make it.

[True Blue]

appreciate the thought troon! Will have to get up to scotland for a game one day!

Neil, they are having an Autumn meeting on 21Oct07 at Stranraer...see my post "calling north west golfers - again"...

Can I bring a mate along he will be staying locally and wants to join us.

[aces_up1504]

Check with the GF, but hopefully should be ok for a trip up.

Can I bring a mate along he will be staying locally and wants to join us.

Yeah wont be a problem, still plenty of room left, Will be confirming everthing with the north wales golf club this afternoon, so will sent a message out later to every one

[rsh1960]

Aces having to pull out of sunday, sorry it's such short notice.

[aces_up1504]

no worries

[Marker]

Aces my mate may want to take a place.
I will confirm tomorrow.
Is there room for him?

[Steptoe]

can any of you lot lend me a game? anyone with the odd straight drive-decent iron shot and good putting going spare??

cant wait till sunday, being landlocked here in the midlands it'll be nice to play by the sea :D

[Steptoe]

anyone know to a range near the course?

nearest i have found is 20 mile back just off the a55

[aces_up1504]

Hi guys,

Every thing is confirmed, first tee is at 15.38.

So say arrival at 15.00 at the latest, earlier if you would like a bite to eat.

I wont put out a list of who's playing with who until we are all confirmed and present on the day and we can sort it out from there.

There is only approx 12 of us, Andytrow can you still not make it?, Euro's and Ian can you make it and Marker is your mate comming? Wilo, come on you know you make it!

To add some interest, Fieldsly has asked me if we would like to make this part of the Winter League, Its a pound each, I will be up for it anyone else?

Also maybe a £2 kitty, closest the pin and longest drive, winner etc and i will purchase some balls for the winners?

Just to elaborate a little on this.......all of the Northern society events can be part of the Winter League (as long as there's 4 (paying) people taking part in each event) - so it won't be long till everyone has their mandatory 3 rounds under their belt :) All of the entry money will be used for prizes...........

Gord! lends a wetsuit :)

[ANDYTROW]

Guys and gals

Really disappointed I cant make it but I will be thinking of you from Bavaria.
I'll be playing at a similar time to you guys on a course north of Munich up near the Czech border.
Enjoy yourselves 'n 'av a gud un !!!!

[wilo]

Hope you all have a real good game on Sunday will not be online over the weekend as i will be drunk the whole time at a wedding :-)

hope the weather is OK for you all.

Happy golfing

[aces_up1504]

Hi Guys and Girls,

So you all tomorrow, fingers crossed on the weather!

[Marker]

There will be no rain tomorrow.:)
I am bringing a Mizuno Twister bag for £40 if anyone is interested.
I also have a new Twinline trolley for £65.

[True Blue]

Me and Marker will be there so that is your no rain guarantee!

[Steptoe]

rain dont bother me, but i only have slicks on the trolly

[Marker]

Well it pissed down!
After 4 holes I doubted we would get round.
It was rain occasionally interrupted by heavy rain.
Steptoe and O.M. had no water proof trousers and were soaked to the skin.
Fortunately the heavy stuff stopped and the back nine was played in almost entirely dry weather.
The course was great...a good test and very enjoyable links golf.
Good company and terrible golf all round...a great day.

Nice to meet you all and thanks for the organizing duties Neil.:)

[True Blue]

I'll second that. Thanks for organising it Neil.
Most enjoyable day out although after being wet through I think I might have trench foot.:(

[True Blue]

I will quote you on that after the round.;)

As suspected it was p*ss easy...:wink:

[aces_up1504]

As suspected it was p*ss easy...:wink:

I am sure there must have been some doctoring of the card! Shooting 83 in pissing down rain without a wet weather glove and every time we looked back you were muttering cursive words while trying to find yet another errant shot in the rough! All this with a supposed handicap of 20! hehe

Goodshooting True, almost goods as Liverpools on saturday!

Thanks to all that made it down, Step Toe and O.M what did you make of your first Links outing?

[aces_up1504]

Also forgot to mention Me, Marker O.M and Septoe made a mockery of the hardest hole on the course! 4 pars!

[Steptoe]

it really was a great day out, links golf is a bitch but fun :D

cheers for setting it up Neil, best tenner worth of golf ever ;)
and a big shout for O.M for his willingness to drive

Mark: i did have both waterproof trousers and jacket in my bag, but i was so convinced that it would stop i just carried on like a fool,
as for the stroke index 1 hole-how easy was that?!
was a great round with great company
if/when we return to north wales- i promise to have a long game to match my short game- tho i might want to practice my throwing technique, egh Mark:rolleyes:

as for true blue, that man must have amazing powers of recovery-it seemed he was in the shit more than the rest of us put together:laugh:

leg lasted 14 holes before packing up, got to sleep around 3;30am :mad:
off now for a custom fitting........................................... .................................................. .................................................. ...............
for a wooden leg

[True Blue]

That's harsh fellas...I was only in the rough by you guys twice and both times found my ball...it would have been hard not to hit the green with the first as it was only 10 feet away! Once I put the driver away I didn't have too many problems.
Anyway, it was an 82 not 83...and I am off 19 not 20.... I resorted to no glove after the 4th!

Shot an 84 down south last week so am going in the right direction...hope it holds up for Weds medal.

What did we all shoot in the end?

[Steptoe]

What did we all shoot in the end?

i'd rather not talk about my score,
i went from totaly rusty to a bit of flow then back into the old bad habits in the space of 18 hole, had my chipping and a few good puts not gone in i'd have scored really really shit instead of just shit :laugh:

great scoring by you tho TB

[O.M]

Well it was a fantastic course, company was great, golf wasn't so much but all in all a great day out and i enjoyed every minute of it even with the crapp weather.

Links golf is defenetly a must if you play this game.
I haven't got a clu what my score was but i know it wasn't good and to be fair i wouldn't care less.

i would deffo play that course again the best tenner spent on green fee. the first 4-5 hole not to bad but nothing special IMO but then WOW rest of the course was a beautie and the view :yes: :yes: :yes: .
We couldn't be any closer to the sea than that ( only way would have been to play on a boat).

Thanks Neill for orginising the day and everyone else for a great experience and great company I don't know about Steptoe but i'll be back :wink: .

[Marker]

O.M. I hope I wasn't being too harsh with the "lucky bastard" comment.
It was meant in a nice way.:p

[Steptoe]

no worse that some of the things others call him :laugh:

[O.M]

Mark no worries, i did get away with that shot and it was a deserved comment.:laugh:

[Aquarius]

Mornin' all :)

I would definitely play that course again, I loved the scenery, even the little wall called 'mens' in the middle of a fairway :laugh:

Thanks Rob for persauding me to carry on after I ended up in a bunker on my second shot :D have never been out in the rain for that long. You and H were great company, was very layed back and unrushed.

Thanks Neil for organising it and was nice to meet Paul, OM, Neil and H (Graham) and see Mark and Rob again :) Am looking forward to the next one :) (as long as it doesn't have Rob and Mark's 'no rain guarantee' stamped on it :laugh:

[MisterS3]

Hold on!!! Where is the run down..the SP..the scores etc?

[Marker]

My score was erm, more than I care to mention.:twitcy:
I didn't feel like I played to badly either.
Robs score was nothing short of a miracle.
It's a shame we didn't take a cam...some of the holes were very difficult and if you went into the rough there was no way out as Steptoe and I discovered.
At one point we both ended up throwing the ball out.(literally)
I was told the other course in Llandudno is the better of the two but for me,this one is far better.
The last 6 holes would test any golfer.

[aces_up1504]

My Score 89.

48 Out and 41 back in.

Played pretty tidy with out really clicking, was quite happy with my score considering the weather (sideways rain) for the first 9 holes.

Already looking foward to going back and playing it again, Having played conway golf course ( 5mins away) a couple weeks back which is considered the premier course in the area having just held the ladies amature championship, although in slighty more " mancured" but in terms of hole qualilty tha last 12 holes of North Wales Golf course is far more interesting and is up there with some of the best i have played.

[Steptoe]

those last 4 holes near killed me, next time i'll bring a mountain goat to drag me around :D but those last few holes looked stuning
looking at some of the guys teeing off and walking past the clubhouse i did think its gona be a typical holiday course full of non golfing tourists, but was far from the case- the greens were great even with all the water that came down (tho the very slight sea breeze may have helped)

will deffo return-may even see if an odd scottish bloke fancies it too

[True Blue]

Have just looked at my card again and I would have been disqualified for signing it...it was not an 82..it was in the end an 84! But having been in the shit on the first 3/4 holes I am really pleased. Played the front in 45 (par 37) and the back in 39 (par34) for a nett 65 and 42 points. Second 84 of last week! After a blip it all seems to be coming together again.
H got and 87 for 35 points.
Jo did incredibly well and got 19 points for the back nine after she had warmed up!
Overall it was a lovely little course and was a fair test if you left the driver in the car!
We should play it in the winter when the wind gets up...then it is real links golf!

[O.M]

Weather wasn't harsh enough for you :eekw:, i suppose for you northener this was a nice summer day :wink: .

[True Blue]

To be honest Ollie, I have played in worse! The rain was pretty drizzly so you got soaked but there was not much wind. Come up to S&A in the winter and you will see what I mean.

We will :yes: , but first will invest in a proper waterproof suit.:biggrin:

[Steptoe]

We will :yes: , but first will invest in a proper waterproof suit.:biggrin:

no need for a waterproof suit, just a change of clothes left in the car and some mac wet gloves will do me :D

bit of a pisser considering i played so poor sunday and yet my visit to the range today saw me hitting the ball as well as ever grrrrr
