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...

Markus Don't think I want to participate. Still sulking - had to attend our prize winning ceremony: not only did I not win a thing but the wife won 3 trophies; only consolation was the reflected glory onto the coach! I did win a super hamper of goodies at the Club dinner-dance, but not for my dancing - in the raffle!

Is the Missus' handicap lower or higher than yours, Eric?

EWRobson - 07 Dec 2006 22:58 - 4 of 152

31! I wish she were that age with a figure to match! Also wish that was my handicap; would win a bit then!

Having participated in a staggering 73 qualifying events[!!!] last Summer, I eventually closed the Season out on 12. Feel very comfortable playing off this handicap, especially in matchplays (as Fliper will testify to!).

Eric , you should team up with your wife and win some prizes !

EWRobson - 08 Dec 2006 13:34 - 7 of 152

fliper: we have won several mixed matches and tend to come second in competitions. But hoping to clean up on the Kent mixed circuit next year!

Clubs have gone away here, prob wont see them again till end of Jan/early Feb when the through the night cricket finishes and the weather picks up

markusantonius - 08 Dec 2006 16:46 - 9 of 152

...and when we have our battle at The Wood, Fundy?!

fliper - 08 Dec 2006 17:04 - 10 of 152

Eric , markus has that problem (second) !

markusantonius - 08 Dec 2006 17:12 - 11 of 152

Not the last time we did battle, Fliper (the first time we had a wee wager on it!). Anyway what was the result, I can't recall exactly?

fliper - 08 Dec 2006 17:14 - 12 of 152

mam open 2005 , 2006 I rest my case !

markusantonius - 08 Dec 2006 17:16 - 13 of 152

Oh, those, I see.

EWRobson - 08 Dec 2006 17:23 - 14 of 152

fliper: I definitely advise against winding up Markus like a corkscrew. Better to take it out yourself and give him direct access to the liquid.

fliper - 08 Dec 2006 18:09 - 15 of 152

Yes , but hes on a winner with his t25 trade .

markusantonius - 08 Dec 2006 18:49 - 16 of 152

Actually it's T+20 on the one I think you are refering to, Fliper. But yes, still dans le bleu atm!

EWRobson - 08 Dec 2006 19:28 - 17 of 152

Come on, let us know what it is, even if not a golfing supplier.

markusantonius - 08 Dec 2006 21:11 - 18 of 152

Eric, you have mail, sir.

fliper - 09 Dec 2006 17:12 - 19 of 152

Cold day for golfing , tried a new driver today .

EWRobson - 09 Dec 2006 17:27 - 20 of 152

Lucky to be on the course, fliper. Tenterden closed for the weekend following heavy rain which I had thought was everywhere. Still, can concentrate on food and wine and... - yes Newcastle won today!

markusantonius - 09 Dec 2006 20:33 - 21 of 152

Do you mean one of those up 'n comin square faced drivers, Fliper? Played today (WL Match) and we were fortunate with the weather. However National forecast gives a "Severe Weather Warning" for Sunday.
