Leasing Championship@Coadling Cabe G.C

[hmammoth]

This week we up the difficulty a little as we head to Coadling Cabe G.C, a course where precision on approaches is a must, there are still plenty of scoring chances but at times they have to be earned. It is also the first time we have a course by geordieboy85 on the kinetic. Have you ever met a geordie, they are strange people, there used to be one that drank in the same pub as I did and he had the strangest way of drinking, he would order a pint of stout and just leave it sit there for about 20 minutes, during this time he would order a couple more, again leaving them sit, when it came time to actually take a drink, he would down his pint in one go, and this would go on all night, he would always have a few pints in front of him waiting for the right moment to drink. It was not easy getting this course on tour as the designer Jamie made things very difficult, I would go to inspect the course, and four hours later I still had not gotten to the first tee because we had to spend those four hours discussing how the Newcastle game went the night before, yes 4 hours discussing a game that lasted 90 minutes. In fairness, he did take a break from football from time to time to lecture me on how Newcastle Brown Ale was fair superior to any Irish beer and then back to Newcastle football club, I am a rugby fan for christ sake but he had not interest in talking about that toff's sport, I am going to post a direct quote from him just to show what I have to deal with to get these courses on tour.

"Rugby is fo' rich people, its neet a neermal sport leek fyeutbaaal, yee winnet find a bevvie iv Newcassel broon at any rugby fyeutbaaal stadium, see whats the point ganin if yee cannit git pallatic. Sure yee gan hev wine or sum kakky leek that, mebbies a guinness is yee want tuh slum it but tuh git deed mortal, yee nee't quality Jar. neeo gan tuh a gyem at st. james' park, tuh see wot a real sport is leek, quality sport, quality Jar, quality pies. tek yor rugby an' shove it up yor hole.  I bet yee watched grange hill as a kid, not byker grove, where are those grange hill kids noo, they are not ant and dec are they,The' are neet on a desert island makin celebrities munch on cockroaches. its Newcassel aaal the wa, somethin the likes iv yee rugby fans wud nivvor understand"

Now I know none of that makes sense, but for some reason, one of my nephews moved to Newcastle a couple years back, so I had him translate but my god, he never stopped talking, he finally feel asleep at the bar in the club house muttering something like ’ll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them, love it!” and I got to finally inspect the course. I will not be in attendance this weekend, I am just frightened of running into Jamie, it's a international week when it comes to football and I do not want to hear his views on that. So have fun this week if you can, good luck out there and if you see a man in a tweed flat cap coming towards you, run.

Missed cut this week, but still played all the rounds because I really enjoy this track. I think I remember it from the rookie contest last year. All of the elevation changes and side hill lies really made the course play tough. The missed cut means my green mark is gone, so looks like I'll be here for some time.
