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...

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.

Eric

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!

Markus ,what did you say in post 58 !

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

(Eric knows that Sharks jest a lot in the month of January!)

ONLY JANUARY !

Could just be younger than markus though worn from lifestyle + golf frustration.

but a great day for golf today! ....... mild, only moderatley damp underfoot, and a toughish wind ..... God bless mobile phones when playing midweek!

S'OK for some, Cynic - very wet 'n windy over here atm!
