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...

Steady on, chaps!

Still enjoying a total break from GOLF this weekend, myself.

Anyone else planning to hack over Yuletide, at all?

Playing tomorrow in key WL match, but fear the worst as am certainly not on form at the mo ..... must concentrate harder! ...... Thursday - cycling down to Bath with No 2 son for Christmas break! .... others have more sense and coming by car on Friday! ...... so no golf after tomorrow until NY Eve ..... unles i squeeze in a few holes or some practice between 27 and 31

Markus, may be up for a game or two over xmas break .

Winter league quarter final on Monday, 4BBB. Won 2&1 with better ball 49 points. I thought afterwards it was a bit unfair! Our opponents off 6 and 10 were bb one under gross so they didn't really have a chance! They won 4 holes, 3 with birdies. Semi final opponents off 12 and 15 so they have more of a chance! And they are talking about a full handicap difference (rather than 3/4) in January! Would vote against it as you need to give them some hope!

Not looking good for the weekend (fog) well i will be able to hit it out of sight !

You do anyway, Fliper!

OK, I'll be away over Yuletide. So herewith The Shark would like to wish everyone a very merry Xmas and a prosperous New Year!

All the best,

M.

To all the golfers, merry xmas and heres looking forward to 2007

Yeah, merry Christmas all and a prosperous New Year. Have a look at my post on ASOS (ASC) thread and give your reaction please to my proposed challenge - no, not golf, but CFDs.

Happy xmas to all , and good luck on the golf course in 2007 . (year of the shark ?)

Yup, I actually heard that from other peeps, as well, Fliper. :o)

Anyway to ALL: Let "bygones be bygones... and a clean slate" for 2007: -

HAPPY NEW YEAR to EVERYONE + HEALTH, HARMONY, HAPPINESS and PROSPERITY to ALL POSTERS!

Well done, markus. And so say all of us, and so say ...............

Markus , Horsley closed due to the wet weather .

A splendid start to the new year, fliper! We have a cross-country texas scramble to mark the occasion ending up with an 870 yard par 8! My partners didn't turn up so I played with three attractive lady members! Quite a respectable nett 28.4 (9 holes). Not amongst the prizes but the highlights were the kisses on the final green! Life in the old dog yet.

Lucky you eric , sounds like a good comp .

...a Category 5 comp.?

Sounds like the ladies were cat 1 !

Unfortunately, with a group behind, we couldn't dally enroute. Also two of the girls partners waiting at the final green who were mortified that we had beaten their score. Not the scoring I had in mind, though!

You sound just like a dirty ol' man, Eric!
