Do you think it could ever hapen on this forum, a match between the scots and the english, with the odd irishman and welshman thrown in.

Now there's a match I'd like to be involved in. Get it on.
Why not go the whole hog and have a home international tournament

I noticed that in the report on the St. Andrews challenge match, we were referred to as "The Scots" a couple of times as opposed to "The Readers/Forumers". Which leads me to assume that an international match has already occured, with the result a fair draw.

Sounds like a fine idea, it would obviously have to be in the country that invented the game!!

If you were trying to arrange an amateur home nations forum event, you'd probably have to stage it somewhere like Liverpool to minimize the travelling for all concerned ?
Sounds like a great idea but careful planning would be required.

What a great idea, but who does a Scotsman living in Southern Ireland whos home course is in Northern Ireland represent?
Would be great to get an Irish get together, any other Irish residents interested in arranging a day?

Good point! But why does a Scot live in the Republic and play golf in Ulster?

Live in a village on the north/south border, about a par 5 length into the south. Wife from Derry and used to live there before moving 5 mins down the road into Donegal. Im actually closer to my home course now than i was when living in Derry.

Atticus,
the GM team had their best player, Fergus, in their team as a Scottish ringer so the International criteria wasn't met.
And I concur that Berwick (not knowing which country they want to be part of) would be a suitable neutral venue. Goswick Golf Club in other words.

Yes, Divot. There's a video of it in my signature. Played it twice on the same day last year. Great course. Thoroughly enjoyed it (and great soup!)

J_F, what a lovely course Goswick is, played it last summer during that spell of really bad weather and it was in fantastic nick. I have friends in the area who own a small hotel with a super restaurant who im sure would give us a decent deal if we were to book a few rooms.

Thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Links course. Open qualifier and they do a great winter deal of two rounds, soup and sandwiches for about £38. Could you ask for more?
