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...

Thanks pth , its in litchfield just off the a38 so they tell me .

Fliper

yes its in lichfield, a few years since i played but if memory serves me right its a decent track and was in wgreat condition hen we played it. Not a long course, more of a thinkers course with plenty of gorse and heather, key is keeping it in play off the tee

Had a game at horsley with an old friend today . The course is very good for the time of year , the greens were quick . I finish a/s after being 2 down with 4 to play .

That wouldn't be he has not to be mentioned would it? Bless his cotton socks!

1st prize eric .

The weathers gone back into winter , just when it was getting better . Look on the bright side BST starts sunday .

Beautiful out on the course today with 18 degrees and short sleeves. First Vets league match - chipped in on the first for a birdie, winning 7 and 5 without losing a hole. Follows up a knock-out win yesterday on 19th. Good to have somewhere I can boast about it!

You can even run us through it shot by shot without interruption!

For myself, an inter-club match this afternoon and a seriously competitive friendly off the very back tees tees on Thursday vs my m8 (only have one - boo hoo!) who is a strong 5 h'cap

Ladies day is Tuesday - once again weather has turned cold. Mary left complaining that they always get the worst of the weather. Gives the lie to the claim that God is female. Next week, though, they should do better as it is a joint ladies and vets event on Tuesday so we can make things hot for them.

Have got 4 game in 4 days , and good weather forcast .

plyed yesterday and today, then break tomorrow (lunch on oysters and some intersting Austrian white wine with my my mother), followed by golf Sunday and Monday ... then back to the office for a break!

Hi Eric

Just starting to get back into the 'swing' once more. Quite difficult at the moment, not least because I'm knackered after 15 holes. Driving the ball miles, but irons and the short game struggling after such a long lay off. Longcliffe is looking great this year already. Big rumpus last year over the state of the course, resulting in a new Captain of Greens and work parties tidying up the areas the Green's Staff don't have time for. First comp on Monday followed by a team match on the 12th and first medal a week on Saturday.
