36 Hole Season Starter Report
I sucked
End of report
Seriously though. Think everyone will back me up when I say what a fantastic day had by all, courses in great condition (as per last year) and couldnt ask for better weather.
Big big thanks to Chris for all his work that goes into organising an event like this.

I'd go along with that Matt - not the bit about you sucked, but then again I didn't see you play, but at times it did seem most of us were engaged in a race to the bottom.
Weather and courses both good, the tops of my ears are now telling me the sun was stronger than I thought, although that's secondary to the aching shins and swollen feet (and if one of my colleagues says that golf is not a physical sport again he's going to be dragged out to caddy for me next year). Special thanks to Shaun and Mark for a great laugh during the round, great company.
And thanks to Chris (and Jo) for another great event.

I would agree, thanks Chris, it was a great day and honestly such good value for what you get. Really well organised as well.

I'd like to echo the thanks. Chris P, another great day and hopefully I'll be back next year, dates permitting.
The courses were both tough but fair and the hospitality shown by the staff was first class.
Many thanks to Chris Bolton and Daniel Alverez for their company on the course, I'd like to know where Chris B bought that handicap...lol
Congratulations to the winners.

Thanks Robert, you were great fun around the course!
My handicap comes from the unique ability to be able to win the long drive competition, yet still blob that hole

I've sorted any blob scores now adjusted to 'nett double bogey'
I think Chris will have the combined score leaderboard live in the next 24 hours.
Regards, Darren.

Hi all and in particular Chris,
Brilliant day and it was great to meet some of you for the first time! Very much looking forward to seeing you all (hopefully) at the Golfshake events and the North v South where I understand the South needs to take some revenge?!

Sounds like fighting talk to me Owen. Many have tried, most have failed. Still, good luck!
