The Winter 2006-07 Golfing Thread (GOLF)     

markusantonius - 07 Dec 2006 22:35

Hi, guys.

Further to 5 enquiries re: past golfing threads plus 3 requests for me to start a new one, just thought I would get the ball rolling pre-Xmas as the long winter nights draw in. So, now let us talk amongst ourselves about ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING CONCERNING the wonderful pastime of: GOLF.

Herewith I start this in good nature to encourage "friendly banter" devoid of hostility amongst fellow golfers: whether they be Pro's, Category One players, average club players, high handicappers or even weekend hackers! Let's all have a friendly chat here...

Yup, snowing outside my window right now, as I write, Fliper! So my continued absence from the fairways continues, at least for a little while longer. :o(

Eric, got your message (we are in agreement, sir).

fliper - 24 Jan 2007 13:15 - 105 of 152

Roll on summer , If i had the money i would live in aus for 5 months .

markusantonius - 24 Jan 2007 13:45 - 106 of 152

Just like my bro. - cannot blame anyone for considering such a proposition! :o)

Please read my post on Bob Colby's new column. I thought it right to query the format but I suspect that it should be left at that rather than applying further pressure.

Eric

Good post eric .

markusantonius - 24 Jan 2007 18:19 - 109 of 152

Jus read it, Eric. Very well expressed viewpoint, sir. Although tend to think the powers that be may have a hidden agenda this year? Anyway it's still snowing over here in the East Mids. with all courses closed. Have a game planned for Sunday (my first in ages!), if it clears up in time?

cynic - 24 Jan 2007 19:27 - 110 of 152

last of my winter league group matches on friday ..... a half will prob do to get me play off but would obviously much rather win ... at least still on proper tees and greens (mortals course!)

EWRobson - 24 Jan 2007 20:03 - 111 of 152

We are also generally in play down in Kent. Saturday was only 8 holes open so put off knock out 4BBB semi-final due for Sunday until this Sunday. Of course, there was a drying wind and all the holes were open on Sunday. Not bad for a couple of rather old vets to be in the semi-final anyway! Eric

fliper - 25 Jan 2007 17:39 - 112 of 152

Looking like no golf this weekend .

cynic - 25 Jan 2007 17:47 - 113 of 152

you gone soft fliper?
for my sins i have last round of winter league flights tomorrow.
half will prob suffice, but would rather win to get into knock-out stages

markusantonius - 25 Jan 2007 17:54 - 114 of 152

Soft! Doubt it, Cynic - coz the ground surface over here is rock solid atm with frozen snow everywhere! :o(

fliper - 25 Jan 2007 17:56 - 115 of 152

Anybody got any red balls !

cynic - 25 Jan 2007 19:10 - 116 of 152

very frosty here but ground still far from frozen...... may require some careful thought and patience tomorrow, neither of which are my forte!

fliper - 30 Jan 2007 18:59 - 117 of 152

May get out this week with this nice weather .

fliper - 31 Jan 2007 14:32 - 118 of 152

Trying out new driver at horsley thursday .

fliper - 03 Feb 2007 18:06 - 119 of 152

It was like a spring day , what weather for feb . Eric it must be warm down there in kent ?

EWRobson - 04 Feb 2007 13:19 - 120 of 152

Bloody cold today, Fliper! Super yesterday though and found some decent shots. Went down in the semi-final of the 4bbb last Sunday - opponents two under gross at the turn with bb 28 points; reckon though its better to lose to opponents paying really well than badly. Eric

fliper - 05 Feb 2007 14:45 - 121 of 152

Eric, you will get this kind of score in winter on a short course. Roll on summer , back tees and courses playing long .

Kivver - 05 Feb 2007 14:52 - 122 of 152

our golfing society are off to the lake district later in the year. Any recomendations greatly received. Silloth looks good, anyone played there??

fliper - 05 Feb 2007 15:23 - 123 of 152

Yes, silloth is very good, take a few balls if its a windy day .
