2021 Old Farts V Whippersnappers

[rosecott]

You may not all be in the same 4-ball. Depends how the teams work out, although I will be considering any requests in terms of partnerships for the side I will be captaining.

Which leads to a gentle reminder. Can all those who have not yet let me know their DOBs & Handicap indexes please do so as soon as you can via DM. Ta.

The whole point of my post is that we want the fact that we will be buggy sharing to be taken into account when doing the draw. There has been no problem with this in previous years so I do not anticipate one this year.

I will PM you with our ages but I guarantee that myself, Les Smith, Chris Davies, Gordon Taylor and Dave Foster are all most definitely Farts.

Having seen you DM I agree that would be the case, so you would need to speak to whoever is captaining the Farts this year (no-one has volunteered so far) as by looking at the ages currently submitted to me I will almost definitely be captaining the Whippersnappers.

I'm sure it won't be an issue, but I just didn't want to make a promise I might not have been able to keep until all the ages were in

@Imurg said he’d be happy to Captain
But he might be a snapper
In which case I’ll put my hand up if nobody else will

Not sure that’s a requirement to be honest!

If the Old Farts Captain were one of the buggy users then there'd definitely be no issue regarding buggy buddies when the draw was made.

Just outta Interest, what usually the cut off point age wise between OF and WS.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

It has been about 55 ish
@Imurg has been both a phart and a snapper, but I’ve always been a phart

I’m 20 months older

But it all depends on the mix of players and is different every year ?

I suspect it might be higher than previous years, maybe mid-50s or higher.

Looks like I will be Tashyoldfart for a couple of days ??

I have been called many, many things but never a Pro. I would be happy to lead the Farts and will draw up a strict training programme.
