Welcome Rick, I've added you to the New Group (North West) spend some time familiarising yourself with the site and if you need to know anything whack it on here and I'm sure we'll all endeavour to answer you.

Cheers Wayne

Do you look like that in real life ?

Rick,

She looks better than that in real life

John.

That's before he had the sex change Rick !!!!!!

Fair play to you Wayne, FRESH FISH hook him in quick! Are you always that quick?, have you spoke to your g.p about it?

Rick,

 I'm not exactly like the avatar as I've put a little weight on lately and I have shortened my first name for ease of use on this site.

Paul,

Quick is not something I have had to deal with, however Mr W we will meet and i will get my revenge

You'd better blush John, I told you nobody was to know our secret

See you on the 23rd at Staverton park, go easy with me though as i will be popping my golfshake event CHERRY!

Me too - a GS virgin

Glad i'm not on my own then J P!

Difference is Paul, JP can play the game.

And he doesn't have a GIRL'S BAG

Your funny aren't you chris! go and get your ball out of the water and leave the big boys alone!

And anyway why the dig at me? considering you've been playing the game double the length of time than myself and your vast knowledge, perhaps you should be working on bringing that handicap of yours closer to mine!

OUCH!!

Handicaps don't count for much when you can't take your game from your home course to another.  I can still beat you on gross strokeplay so I would say that either your handicap is too low or mine is too high. 

Chris we're both at different stages within our game yours with your handicap coming down, mine with me struggling to keep my handicap down.

Its true that i basically learnt to play on one course "brandhall" and can play it pretty well! But realising this was bad for my game on the whole i joined this site to meet new people, play different courses develop my game further, so there is bound to be a transition period where my game will suffer during this time. I,m prepared for my handicap to go as high as 20 during this time (aug08-aug-09  at the moment i,m holding my own, as well as not getting on with my irons at present and only recently adding a wood to my bag all in all i can,t complain!

You know your game is way better than your handicap, and i know once i get to know the courses better and gain a better understanding of course management my handicap will come down..

I  JUST RESPOND TO ANOTHER MR PERRY DIG, FANCY A GAME NEXT FRIDAY, CALDERFIELDS.....?????

I'm in.  I rarely turn a game down, you should know that.  I haven't played there for mare than a year so will be interesting.  Have a look at the course when you go to Direct Golf to try your irons out.  The first tee will give you a feel for the course, though you will probably wish you hadn't.......

Will do, on previous visits can't recall the first tee only the large clubhouse? can't say i was looking though, more interested in one new purchase or another!

Straight through the club house (literally, in the doors and the doors to the course are in front of you).  Practice green is too your immediate left, first tee is 30 yards straight up the path in front of you and just off to the right.  The view from the tee box is completely different to that from the path......

i take your not playing today? i thought of you as the rain came down just...... would still love to be out there now..... instead i'm babysitting my daughter who's coming down with chicken pox, whilst waiting for dishwasher to be delivered...... she should be back in a while from her mothers.. joking of course, had new kitchen whilst on holiday..now she as to have all new appliances aswell??????

goes in my favour though, as she can't moan when i shell out on my new irons next week!!!!! up there for thinking.....down there for dancing!!!!

Paul/Chris, nothing like keeping to the thread eh
