The Green - weekly comps

I'm at work (unfortunately) but anyone turning up tonight will witness a treat - Cockney Tel's debut on Swedish Felt! Wish I was there to see it!

I wonder if our wonderful captain has continued his hot form to shoot a 25 tonight or if his record is still 26?

Stop trying to talk your way into the KMGC CC 'A' Team Michael, you're in it anyway!

Anyone going tomorrow night? See you there!

Should be quite a few of us - I will be there and DT is keen to drop her 50's from her KIT scores - and I think TK & AK may be coming down as well... should be a good night.

Good stuff, I think Tel may come too.

yeep we should be there

yep, se you all there.

Good showing by the look of it, luckily Tel can't make it now too!

Depending on timings it would be good perhaps to try a matchplay (Club Champs type format) round or two with the KMGC players present... give me a chance to cast a Captains view over you all!

Good idea FB. To me you have a tougher task than Colin did in picking his Ryder Cup side - at least we have two teams though.

Is the 28th Nov confirmed for the CC?

Anyone going along to The Green tomorrow?

AK and me are planning to be there during the afternoon and for the evening competition.

Congratulations to Will, Marc and Julio on some great performances last night.

There are some fantastic scores coming out of The Green at the moment. Following on from Michael's course record 27, James shot a 23 in a friendly match with Julio and Will, including eight aces on the back nine. Yesterday Julio shot 11 aces in a round on the easy settings, including seven aces in his first eight holes after starting on the 3rd. It really shows what dedicated practice can do. It is funny to think that it is less than a year ago that we were all struggling to beat 40 on that course.

It was fun watching Adam trying to ace the 11th with a golf ball

Hi KMGC'ers,
Hope this finds you all fit and well?

If anyone is interested I'll be at the "Green" this Saturday. It'll be the first time i'd of held my putter this year. Can't make Bristol next weekend as it's my fathers 60th celebrations.

My first comp should be Liverpool next month.... look forward to seeing you all soon....

DG

What time are you going to be there? I'm off to the Spurs match 3pm Kick-off you see...

Hi All
I'm going to go to Hither Green this Saturday from 11 for most of the day if anyone would like some practice rounds.

Congratulations to the young guns who completely ruled the roost in last night's weekly competition at The Green.

The might of HIOK, The Force, Rocket, 180, Stormin and TK Max were completely swept away by the teenage trio of Clockwork Orange, AK47 and Ballesteros.

Seth deservedly won with rounds of 32 and 34 for a total of 66. Adam was three strokes behind with 69 and Julio a further stroke off with 70.

The British Championships at The Green are going to be wide open. But can the young guns keep it up over seven rounds???

DT's intense training programme continues at great pace as she prepares for the Nations Cup.

Following a personal best performance at the National Open picking up the Cat 2 runner up prize in a play off she's now starting to bang in some very impressive scores at the Green.

After a couple of warm up rounds last night, she played a full round with myself and guest player The Rocket, banging in an all time personal best score of 33 and looking very strong throughout the round, only dropping shots on 1 hole (a frustrating 4 at the 16th).

The Rocket was blown away by the KMGC onslaught - carding a 40 (while I banged in a rather nifty 30).

Roll on the Masters!

Woop! I also heard a rumour that The Force has regained his mojo (and his form!) in time for the weekend...he'll be at Hither Green from about 4pm today for some relaxing play, a drink or two and a friendly chat...if anyone's interested...maybe a few biscuits will be involved too!

Adam and I played a Fake British Championships over seven rounds at The Green yesterday.

AK scored 37,39,35,37,44,36,33 = 261 (+9)
TK scored 36,39,45,41,41,38,35 = 275 (+23)

AK shot 30 aces, TK shot 26.

A comfortable victory for Adam - well played.

I recovered my form in time for the evening handicap, shooting two personal bests of 33 to come third behind Giuseppe and Nick.

We then played a final round with the kiddies' spongey putters and course balls.

AK scored 71, TK scored 62 after dropping just five shots on the back nine with aces on 10,16 and 18.

I know Thursday tournaments have been suspended till further notice, but I will be at The Green this Thursday along with Michael and Chris. I do not know if anybody else is interested in coming?
It's certainly time for me to shake off the cobwebs.

Adam is thinking of going down now that he has finished his exams and I will probably come along too after work.

If everyone is up for it, perhaps we can organise a two-round stroke play tournament by ourselves?

Great tournament superbly run by AK47. The Swedish 4 were a little off their game and missing Bjorn and Eirik's coaching but great fun all the same.

The highlight? Freebird's German swearing of course! How do it go again - Slasssen, Schwasen, Schamsson, Sweiger? I'm sure it was one of those. And he didn't even given himself a warning, typical!

So while we were waiting for the tournament to begin, Michael made the claim that GB would be in the top 10 countries within two years. In his usual fashion, Tony couldn't resist the pun and said, "I wouldn't bet on it." Seth added, "It will be an eternity until we get that far." but I felt the jokes were awful. Moving On Swiftly...

The results of the tournament...
9- Devonte: 74+126= 200
8- Giuseppe: 43+126= 169
7- Marion: 53+56= 109
6- Chris: 51+46= 97
5- Tony: 48+34= 82
4- Seth: 41+38= 79
3- Sean: 36+41= 77
2- Adam: 34+40= 74
1- Michael: 36+32= 68

Special mentions to Marion for halfs of 39(nothing better than a three) and 14(nothing worse than a 2) in her first round.
Also to Tony for scoring 7s on 16 and 18 in round one, following that with aces on 3, 7 and 9 in round two then finishing the tournament of with 4s on 16 and 18

That's a very Adventureous prediction from Michael!
