Much better day for me today in the senior medal. I actually played quite steady golf on the front nine going out in 41(+5) and started the back nine par, bogey, par, meaning I was +6 through the first 12 holes. Had a bit of a collapse after that with three double-bogeys on the spin which irked me somewhat although the first two were a little unlucky, I stank the par5 15th out after a big drive for me, playing four crap shots in a row!
Steadied the ship somewhat on the last three holes for a 44 on the back nine so shot 85/13 net 72. Completing the course made a pleasant change too.
The Veterans Cup is for those in the senior medal who are 70+ and I think I came 2nd(again) which is a shame as I've never won it.

Congrats Ralph.

Never in doubt, class is permanent etc.

Blimey Ralph, You played so well that I had to stop halfway through and go back to check it was really your report.

 

well played Ralph. Think "super-senior" would be better than veteran

Pretty good shooting there Ralph. VUL in the veterans. Crikey I've just realised I'm just over 2 years away before I qualify for Veterans status. Tom will be there first though. 😁

Ty boys. Back at it tomorrow then Captains day on Sunday.

Well done Kev!

It's a senior major for me tomorrow at Wollaton in the form of The Veterans Cup, a medal off the yellow tees. I've hardly played during the last ten days or so due to not handling the persistent hot weather so well and not having much get up and go either, which might well be related. Hoping for the best!

BOOM! 

Wp Kev.

Best round of the year so far but frustratingly lipped a 2ft putt for birdie on the 18th 🙄 Also had to take 3 drop balls, bloody water.😠

By a remarkable coincidence I was seated next to a British chap, Danny Newman.

His Hendon has cashes dating back to around 1992, with results all over the UK including the long-defunct Rainbow, London, Vegas, Paris, I.O.M., and a handful of WSOP cashes including an 8th place in a $3000 Omaha 8 or Better WSOP affair no less than 28 years ago.

The weird thing is I've never once seen him in the UK, but see him every year here. He has family here but he still lives in the UK.

Note the happy Dealer too. It's that kind of place.

Nice to see this.  RedSimon told me about the mention of Danny.     Danny is my best mate and we often work together outside of poker.  It was Danny that encouraged me to play live in the first season of APAT way back when

He has had a fair few cashes besides those showing as he is about 3 different variants of his name on Hendon Mob!!!

You are right though he rarely plays in a uk casino.
