Kevtherev Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 Playing in a golf tournament that I'm playing in on Tuesday. It's a pro event but I assume he's entering it as an amateur, not as a pro. It's at a golf course called Remedy Oaks, which is near Bournemouth I think. He's a member there apparently - it looks very posh. Spectators welcome :-) I hope he doesn't beat me....that would be embarrassing! Hi Have played remedy a few times (so has Matt), great course, greens are like glass but the best I have played. Hole number two is my fav one. Enjoy.

Deano6 Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 I am indeed entering. I hope that Matt Le Tissier doesn't beat me. I probably won't be favourite but am pretty sure I will be amongst the favourites. I hope Matt Le Tissier doesn't beat me. The way you played last week you'll be odds on - you modest bugger! I'll never know how you made that shot from the lip of the bunker right to the pin! Let us know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Will Posted 20 October, 2009 Author Share Posted 20 October, 2009 Hi Have played remedy a few times (so has Matt), great course, greens are like glass but the best I have played. Hole number two is my fav one. Enjoy. Played a practice round yesterday and the greens were poor......I think it's cuz it's late on in the year now I suppose. Had a little money game with my mate and was 7 under through 10 though! The greens actually still rolled really well, but didn't look good at all. Apparently MLT is doing the prizegiving at the end so it'd be great to win. Some good players playing this one, including Ronan Rafferty...former European Number 1. Anyway better get my backside down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 I'm afraid the joys of a private education passed me by and despite immersing myself in the George McDonald Fraser books about the stories of the caddish bully from Rugby I am not familiar with the term. Are we talking something Boris and David may have experienced. I have not learned anything new today so please enlighten me so I can cross at least one thing off my to do list. That's a coincidence. There used to be a poster called Flashman at the Charge on here. Nasty piece of work; deliberately antagonistic and snide and probably modelled himself on the eponymous Flashman. I wonder what became of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 I understand that you might be a golfer, St. Wills. Are you any good at it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask him if he has a bet on the first one to be five over off the first tee. If he gets a hole in one you can guarentee he probably bet on himself.

eurosaint Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 Surely if the handicap system is working properly then MLT has a chance to score as well as the scratch golfers ??? The whole idea is to give everyone a fighting chance and play to their potential, no ? If Matt has played the course many times then he could well have a decent round, apply the handicap and be up there with the top scorers !!! Of course, if handicaps are not involved in this competition, then my argument goes up in smoke !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Saint Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 (edited) When you reappear St Will, tell me, are you a member of the Hampshire PGA? Edit, forget the question, I have found the answer. Edited 20 October, 2009 by Weston Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Perrin Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 I expect he'll slice his first drive into the rough only for it to bounce off Neil Shipperly back into play..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Will Posted 20 October, 2009 Author Share Posted 20 October, 2009 When you reappear St Will, tell me, are you a member of the Hampshire PGA? Edit, forget the question, I have found the answer. I never went the PGA route - I didn't want to spend 4 years doing an apprenticeship in a shop - I just wanted to play tournament golf. Anyway, that was fun!! Got 10 holes done and we were called in, the course was flooded, and half the green unplayable. Met MLT before I went out to play - what a bloody nice bloke he is. How many people as well known as him as as genuinely down to earth as him?! Not many. He came in jokingly saying he was 6 under when we were called in, but obviously he wasn't!! He told me before we went out he'd only broken 80 once around there, so that kinda eased my worries of him beating me! I was playing quite well when we got called in, bit of a shame really. Anyway, a bloody nice chap, haven't met him since I was a nipper, so was good to have a chat about Saints and golf. I was more excited seeing him show up than I would have been if Nick Faldo had turned up to be fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, can't see him doing that... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineteen Canteen Posted 24 October, 2009 Share Posted 24 October, 2009 That's a coincidence. There used to be a poster called Flashman at the Charge on here. Nasty piece of work; deliberately antagonistic and snide and probably modelled himself on the eponymous Flashman. I wonder what became of him. No idea, great character and great books though. Surprising as I prefer books set in the present day and wouldn't normally read anything set in the 19th c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
