Yes, I know I haven't updated in a while - it's a busy old time these last few months let me tell you. Anyhoo, played at Forest Pines up near Suncthorpe, Lincolnshire over the weekend - and despite the usual confidence issues managed to win both of my Ryder Cup style matches including a singles on against a lad playing off 15 who had been an 8 handicapper a couple of year before but wasn't playing much.
Also won two of the 9 closest the pin on par three competitions include the 8th hole of the Forest Course which was our 17th (they have three nines at Forest Pines - the Pines, the Beaches and the Forest nine and they send you out on different combos over two days so you play all three nines including one that you play twice). I had been 4 up with five to play against Scott and then lost three on the bounce so was stood on the 17th tee 1up with two to play. Scott hit his tee shot probably a 7 or 8 iron (I hit my four iron to 5 foot past the hole to win the match 2 up and win another nearest the Pin)!
Great weekend, great company - the golf course could have been in better nick but it is bone dry at the minute.

| This looked a killer par 3 - I took three wood and hit it through the back (Pines Course I think) |
 |
| Most of the motley crew - three of them couldn't be extracted from the bar though |
 |
| Odd to say "shame it was so dry" but this course needs a bit of a drink! |
 |
| You want a tight finishing hole - course you do! |
 |
| This was a great dog leg par four on the Forest course which I played to par so one of my favourites (trip organiser Rich teeing off and hitting a beaut that unfortunately found the bunker on the corner) |
 |
| Our group on the final day - Me, Bazza, Rich and Scott. |
 |
| God knows what I was doing here - dodging a bullet perhaps? |
