Thaxted Park April 18
Flavzz has offered to host us at Thaxted Park.
7:47am
1. Flavzz
2. BobsYourUncle
3. DMG
4. nadg63 (very light pencil)
-----------------------
Some previous plans of mine have been cancelled, so now I find myself without a game of golf this Sunday morning, but permission to have one.
Anyone interested? Either to host me or play somewhere neutral?

2nd green at Thaxted is Mickey Mouse. 3 circles melded in the shape of his head.
Edit: I mean shape of mouse head. Can not assume in these days in Western society whether Mickey was male, transgender, LGBTQICLPOMD or other.
Once you go yellow, you will never go back

On 2 I couldn't always tell where the pin was until I got a rangefinder. Much easier now.The good thing with Thaxted is it really demands you to read the green from all angles. Agree a few of the greens are rough such as 2 and 6 but there's some that are just difficult and need careful attention such as 4,5,7,11,12 etc. 5 and 7 can be particularly in nasty if you leave yourself above the hole when the greens are running fast.

The old 2nd was one of the worst greens. Now the 3rd but kept same shape and flattened slightly. It used to have at least 5 degrees more slope than the 4th which is still tricky if slick.
Not to mention the 40m roll back from the drive on the old second up the hill.

Oh, it can still do that! I chipped out sideways from the left, (only option), it landed then turned 90* right and it ended up rolling many metres back towards the tee!

Ease up on the criticism of #2, that was the only hole I birdied!
Thanks for the hit on the weekend guys (I've been away = slow response). Flavzz played some very good golf.
I was ordinary - pretty solid off the tee, but mostly downhill from there, particularly with approaches to greens. Shot 82. Missed more than 1 green with a wedge, which is terrible. Limited highlights for me include the aforementioned birdie on #2 after taking it on and driving pin high just right of the green to get up & down for birdie. Also enjoyed flushing a 3 wood through the green on #14 (504m par 5), but a poor chip from a downhill lie meant I only made par. I enjoy Thaxted, and look forward to playing there again, hopefully a bit better next time.
The greens are tricky, but they roll true so you can make putts on them.

I forgot about that. Driving it greenside from the back markers on 2 was impressive, a very deserved birdie. The fact we all made 5s on 14 in very different ways was hilarious. I almost hit 2 balls in the left hazard. Your drive on 12 was a ripper too.
