18 holes of golf in a polo shirt alone, not done that since October. So much for all these snow storms.

This time last year it was snowing! And look at it this year! It's mad!

It's fucking lovely is what it is.

billy no mates

 :D

not even pants?

Loads of bees around in February, bloody weird.

I find they restrict the swing.

Boom Boom!

i'm gonna dust the clubs off and have a round tommorow i think.

where do you play, arriba?

anywhere,broome manor mostly.aint played for about a year mind.probably give shrivenham a go or nine holes up highworth maybe

where do u play dave? i usually play Bassett Down or Broome Manor

Occassionally Broome Manor, I'm a member at North Wilts (Blacklands), used to be a member at Erkestoke though so maily there.

We get about a bit though as a few of my mates aren't attatched to any particular club. I've played most golf courses in Wilts and Berkshire over the last 3 years.

Highworth's a nice little 9 holes arriba, is it still council run? 12 quid or so is a bargain.

yeah still council.both that and broome are very good for municipal courses imo.
i just hate the swindon card rip off which has had me avoiding using council faciltys for a while.
dont tell anyone but i just used to play broome by walking up and playing for fuck all.
used to play about 3-4 times a week and rarely paid.
nine holes never used to get checked for tickets

I've often thought you could do it... I've never been asked for my ticket at BM.

ditto

not played since sept so gonna do the same.


DMR, once i'm ok to play again after me op do you fancy a game????? or even a forum golf day???

Did you see my dad Dave?

That sounds ace mate... any others interested?

I havent played seriously since I was a kid but have a set of clubs which are going to waste.  Need to go out for  around but I am rubbish

Id be up for a few of us meeting up, even if anyone wants a round in a couple of weeks ona  sat morning id be keen

Doesn't matter if you're crap Bushey... I'll play left handed if you want  :mrgreen:

i'm mostly a hacker but can get round a course ok.i'd be up for a forum golf day.

I played tennis outside yesterday

ACE

Im in, and i promise that i wont go off on one if someone takes the piss :D

this sounds like a difinate yes from a few then.

i reckon a weekend in May (i say May cos of my Operation and cos winter tees and greens will have gone) after the season has finished we should arrange a proper TEF golf day.

whether your shite, intermediate or a pro it'll be all good fun.
can play stableford points so it makes it equal for all who wants to attend.

:D

Def up for that! Dave you take the michael and I will run you over  :D

I'd love to get a round in but haven't played for about 3 years.  Used to hack around Highworth or Wrag Barn when I had more time.  I'd be well up for a TEF golf day

i've not played for almost 6 months and even then i've only been playing just over 2 years.

i average a round every month so i'm far from any good. but saying that i'd got my handicap down to 20 within the first year.

Play off about 24....love the game but dont play enough as playing weekdays is off due to work,the course at South Cerney is good for players of our standard,and you can book at pretty short notice....count me in if you play at weekend lads.

I've never had an official handicap so I always play off 18 on the basis it's a shot a hole.  Mind you I've never won anything!  I get around 26 - 32 stableford points so it's probably fair.

18 sounds about right then i would say.

i only know my handicap by registering with www.golfshake.com/ and adding my rounds i've played

It's really difficult to judge as it depends on what course you play.  When I had loads of time and played every week I went round Highworth 9 holes in under 40.  Then I went to Burnham and Berrow and gave up after 15 holes as I used and lost over 24 balls!!!

up here my normall course is Brandhall. Quite a nice and challenging municipal.

my best round was 83 on a par 72.

normally i'm averaging 90

83 is bloody good going  in my book- I usually break 100 but have never broken 80.  I think 87 is my best on a par 72.  I guess it's the great thing about golf I can play almost par golf for 7 - 8 holes but I just know I'm going to shank the fucker out of bounds three times in a row and sure enough I do :D

my problem is my driver. can't hit one for toffee.

now my 3 wood is different. i can hit it a good 220 + when straight but getting it straight is the difficult bit  :oops:

I haven't bothered with a driver for years.  I've got a Wilson fat shaft 3 wood and I at least stand a chance of keeping that on the fairway.  I could hit a driver a fair way but it was usually 90 degrees left of where it was meant to go!!  Trouble is, it leaves a really long second shot, usually I need to go with a 3 iron and I'm really crap with a 3 iron

sounds like me with 90% of my clubs  :soapy tit wank:

Playing off 5, my major faults would be erratic with 2, 3 and 4 irons and occassionally missing 'gimme' putts due to lack of concentration.

I'll take Bushey to school though  :mrgreen:

:D

Spring? It was -2 at my house this morning, -3 yesterday, I wish it was fucking Spring, this weather is so shit.

It was 14 degrees when I got up this morning, hard life :wink:

Where do you live? In a freezer?

Since when do you have to de-ice the car on a spring morning?!

'Twas -4ºC in Westlea this morning.

I don't care how cold it is as long as the sun is shining!

I'd prefer minus degrees as opposed to +10 degrees and rain and grey cloud.

Amen sister!

weathers been lush recently. Was like this last year though, then piddled down all summer  :(

t-shirt weather here today

this whole thread is just an illaberate scheme to try and make me go outside. It's not going to work. What if gravity stops working?

Then you need not worry about things falling from above and hurting you Ben.
