I joined New Forest just before Christmas. Course is in great nick. Greens have been awful though in the last few weeks. They were hollow cored three weeks ago and they have been very slow to come good. Haven't been there since last Thursday so hopefully they have improved. I'll be there again tomorrow evening so I can report back. Can't make Saturday myself. Enjoy folks!
Name change on the cards?

Think I need to figure out how to play the bloody course first! It has been chewing me up and spitting me out from day 1.
Forgot to mention in last post, I will try to put a course guide up before the weekend. I know others have obliged in the past.0 -

Well looking at the Irish open and speaking to my better half, we were blessed again with the weather. Only had the umbrella up for about 5 minutes. Thunder and lightning in Kildare.
Barnaboy, that is a beautiful course, each hole has its own character. Would imagine the greens are close to not playable in a dry spell.
Anyway to the golf, had the great company of Rikand and Brendan141. Most enjoyable round I've had in a long time. I've played with Brendan141 over the last year and a half, and it's great to see his hard work paying off and the HC dropping. Both Rikand and Brendan141 played really well. Rikand showed some beautiful touches around the green, and it's a joy to watch him play golf.
Sorry lads but I robbed every bit of luck that was out there. I hit balls that went OOB but hit a tree and fell in bounds, hit a ball through the 5th that hit a tree trunk and rolled back to the front of the green. Hit one into the hazard on 12 that just stayed up and walked away with a par.
I had a blast today even if my golf wasn't up to it. 30pts was a great score.
The food and the banter was even better in the club after.
Congrats to Alanm with a super score and Rikand for gross

10th hole is fine, 12th hole is a joke. It's the one hole that stops me going back to play the course again and again. you literally have a 10 yard x 10 yard pocket of fairway that you have to hit your tee shot into or you can forget about thinking about going for the green in 2. Pull your teeshot and you end up being in the diagonal drain or OOB. Cut your tee shot and you're out of town. Even laying back and playing the hole is a 3-shotter is no gimme as again, you have the drain in front of the tee to contend with and still that stupid tree in the middle of the fairway.
But I digress.
Had a wonderful day out with Ben and Brendan. We had great craic the whole way around and myself and Brendan ripped the piss out of Ben the whole way which made it even better!
Brendan is a super golfer off his handicap and only for a handful of quick swings around the back 9, he could have comfortably shot 40 points. He said he got cut 4 shots on one comp already this year. He's got a few more 4 shot cuts in him. Lovely striker of the ball, can move it both ways and a brilliant short game.
Ben..... well he's Ben.
And myself, very happy with how I played. Anytime you play to around your handicap in New Forest, you're doing very well for yourself. I struck the ball well off the tee and played some nice recovery shots. Very disappointed to bogey the 2 par 5's on the front 9, literally from nowhere both times, but those are the breaks.
I know we can only cut him 2.5 shots at a time, but we need to give serious consideration to Macker 2.0 aka, Alanm and cut him a lot more. 2 comfortable wins in a row on 2 very tough golf courses. Shooting +6 out there playing off a 16 handicap is some going. Kudos to you sir. 0 -
btw, I hope thats the last time we have early starters in the society. Really takes from it when half the guys are already gone home before the rest of us have really started our round. The banter in the bar when everyone is in is what it's all about. I'd love to have been ripping GolfGraffix after the front 9 he had or to be ripping AlanM for that score. 0

I agree, it does take away from the atmosphere afterwards.
It will be the last time. Unfortunately for me work gets in the way sometimes and the last two events I couldn't be there in the afternoon but still had to bring the prizes down.

Agree 100% with your assessment of the back 9 Fdp. Actually the 11th is a tougher hole off the yellows than the whites as from the yellows that tree on the right is much more in play. From the whites you can hit over it.
The marshland on the left of 14 should be a hazard. 15 all uphill and then an exceptionally hard green. 16 must be the toughest green in the country if not Europe. Did anyone else look over at the left side of the green ? 0 -
