Evening gents.

Vig & I have now managed to have a chat about the first's day's order of play, so as promised here are the pairings (with handicaps shown in brackets) for Friday's 8 fourball betterball games. English pairings listed first (as hosts).

Match

1. JasonN (6) & Wheyayeman(6) v Tommo21's mate (7?) & Fraser (11)

2. Timberbonce (18) & GB72 (18) v Screwback (0) & IainG (20)

3. Doh (11) & TonyN (14) v Tommo21 (6) & DCB (13)

4. GJBike (12) & Vig (12) v Patricks148 (10) & David Moore (10)

5. Phil (13) & Whereditgo (18) v Owen_Thomas_14 (6) & SS2 (14)

6. ClayportF1 (19) & Viscount17 (20) v Ayrhead (3) & Bonto (20)

8. IM01 (1) & Grumpyjock (24) v JDS (5) & StuartD (13)


I hope this gives you all some food for thought before Friday's games. Chris, you're gonna have to carry me big style against Tincup & Murph, who both seem to have some form at the moment!Looking forward to that one, though.

We'll obviously mix the teams up again for Saturday's games. This is usually decided in the pub on Friday night.

Dodger, if you want to play on Saturday I'll happily stand aside to allow you to get a game as I'm happy to wander the fairways, video camera in hand to get some footage of those matches. I dare say we'll see you down there in the pub Friday night, I hope.

Remember gents. First tee time at Noon Friday but be at the clubhouse by 11am to square up with SS2.


All the best, gents. May the best team win.

:p







 
Just as well I hit a bit of form today then John ;) I is shaping up to be a good weekend. Now who was sorting out the weather?
 
Really excited about this now. Have been practiced hard at the course. Lots of short game.

If anyone is 'wandering' the course, I am bringing my freebie little HD handicam. Maybe they could use it to capture some footage rather than me getting bits and pieces.
 
John,You carry on my man,can't have the Captain missing out on playing.

I will appear for a wander around at some point,maybe as a ball spotter for errant Scot's tee shots and help stand on any English balls in the rough.:p

Unfortunately the honorary starter will also be missing.
 
Useless statistics (the first of many, no doubt):

Total strokes being given for Friday matches (3/4 handicap diff matchplay)

England: 100
Scotland: 62

Average Handicap
England: 12.9
Scotland 9.8
 
Some interesting pairings thrown up there by the two Captains. It has all the looks of a close match again, probably coming down to the last two ties on Saturday I would think.

Bring it on :)

Dave, Dave, Dave. Come on now. I had 32-0 in mind. We'll have none of that negative Karma from you please, sir!

;)

Quite happy the way the pairings have worked out... I tried to ensure that at least one Scottish player in each game wasn't giving away a huge bundle of shots and that seems to have worked out nicely except in the final match where they're both giving away a handful to Grumpyjock. But I'm sure SuperStuarty is looking forward to that one!

Should be good banter the way it has worked out.
