Ok then...
I'll collect the Swedes at Heathrow - and Dirk will deliver the Dane.

Waiting on a thumbs up from the Swedette but the plan seems solid.. Except for limiting her shopping in London.. That might be the troublesome part..

Car space is the challenge! All this golf kit and golfers fills the car up pretty quick! You going back to Essex on Monday Charlie? I got a massive tall Dane in need of a lift to Heathrow after the golf....

My diary is unplanned for that week so far, I need to talk to my boss about it, but if I am going home then sure I will drop him at Heathrow!

Well I have just found out that I won't be playing any golf up until this event, due to the most craziest diary ever. Not played for 2 weeks either, so what's that 5 to 6 weeks of no golf before this event! Just putting my excuse out there now, early doors

Well I was right, another rubbish round of golf on Sat, ripped up the card and was sitting on 10.5/11 this morning. Took my round seriously today though and finished with an 80(+8) so should be back down to 9.9 :act-up:

Great comeback, Will!
Since my HIO every shot from the tee is like wrestling a bear with chainsaws! Can't seem to hit the ball good with any club..
Hopefully a couple of hours at the range and a round tomorrow might straighten that out.. Otherwise I'll be taking some lessons in the next couple of days.. Hcp up at 14.9 right now..

Heehee!!
A well hammered 3 wood just made it to the front left edge!
It was a great few days you guys will have some fun. Hotel and food were both very good. Championship course was in great condition but 2 of the greens had been relaid but they have done it well and it it doesn't detract from the rest of the course, yes they play differently but it's only 2 holes the 1st and 7th I think. The rough was the biggest challenge. It was only about 3" thick and looked nothing from the tee but it was that tournament grade rough where the ball just sinks in it so keep a good line on everything! Even if you are only a yard in it can be difficult to find them, when you do take your medicine and move on. On the odd occasion that the ball does sit up in it you can go with any thing you like!
The Mathern course has some nice holes but in general it has a very tired feel to it as the tee boxes are very scruffy. I don't want to disappoint you guys before you go but just be open minded about that course. We actually really enjoyed it and some really fun holes but very different from its bigger well groomed brother!
You guys will have a blast.

Thank you, hopefully the tide has turned and I have my game face on again. There has been a bit of a Tom Hanks virus spreading through our club at the moment, quite a few guys struggling. Three handicapper has decided to stop playing completely for a couple of weeks and pulled out of comps because of it.
Nice analogy, obviously a Swedish thing to do, no bears here to wrestle. Hopefully your golf in Wales will be a walk in the park, picking up daffodils.

Good to know, thanks Geo
Sweet putters. I really like the face milling and the green shaft is cool.No worries stu, sorry for the delay!
Thought I would share some images of two putters that have just come through my door, one was made for my nan who recently passed away, and the other is a handmade brass beauty. My two right handed demo models are HOPEFULLY going to be here in time for the summer cup! Fingers crossed!
And some mean looking tools as well!
265? that's an easy wedge shot. Of course I can only do that if I'm less than 40 yards out.Pah!

You're only a few weeks away from teeing off. It's been fun following along. I'm looking forward to the pictures and hopefully a few vines.

Getting close, looking forward to meeting new faces, did we decide on some team head wear, I seem to think it was mentioned quite a while back, or was that our team name?
Its an age thing, I forget things, who are you again, Nurse, its gone dark....
