Forum meets 2021

[IanM]

Interestingly that the feedback was the same for Dunaverty, some really got the course and the spectacular location and some just hated it.

You have to think outside of the box, not all courses are championship standard, the setting makes up for the course.

Absolutely! I guess you either get it or you don't. The growing season up there is short and I would expect it to be rough around the edges... a bit like why certain bits of Kingsbarns are "not quite right"

GM are going to subsidise this anyway aren’t they? ?

At least 50%

Best of luck! Not a single train in Sweden have left or arrived in time since the 70's or so. Honestly, Swedish trains are VERY insecure when it comes to the time tables.

I use southeastern trains so am used to delayed trains

And my Norwegian train from Oslo broke down well south of Trondheim and we were eventually transferred to a coach.

I am shocked, I thought by the end of your negotiation they would be paying us to play there

Maybe cos i picked us and fulham for tickets, currently darlington vs everton would be a better watch.

Yeah, let us know your clothing sizes and we can sort outfits for each day

Funny you should say that as the first time I met RickG was some 10 years ago, at a Fish organised (he turned up, but didn't play due to a 'fall-out' ?) meet at Kenilworth GC when a HDIDo team beat a GM Forum Team. We all got team hats & shirts whilst GM'ers were all Raggle-taggle! ??

That would have been a good trip, great respect for the old trawler men that worked those waters.

Yes Tromso is a great place to visit ?

Yes, indeed. Would have been tough graft in a wooden, gaff-rigged, Grimsby trawler like this, in winter. We were there in Aug & had all the hold space to live in...... Yes, respect... full respect.

I just googled cheap flights to Evenes, came in about £250 each with one 23KG bag on Norwegian, £30 a day car hire for small SUV/ compact car. £79 a night at local hotel in Evenes (first and last night). £150 for lodge at Lofoten for one night. Thoughts were fly to Evenes, stay over. Drive to Lofoten and play, stay over, play and drive to Evenes. Stay over and fly back.

Here's a song about cheap flights

Some bad language!

You turned up to a friendly golf match and had a fall out so didn't play??? ? ? ?

What happened? ?

Sorted it.... Read back Ask no more...

 

[ScienceBoy]

should do a forum meet on PGA 2k21

Group up according to platform and set up with similar conditions on the same course.

What could go wrong?

 

[Dando]

OK noted...
Maybe those "in the know, know" but sounds like a story worth telling ?

if it was Fish, then it probably involved 2 or a maximum of 3 pints and a fight in an empty room.

But which forum is still going strong; the one with the sponsored clothes or the raggle-taggle one?

Hahaha..... yer right Nick, an unmoderated Forum would only go one way. Though it's still running..... well stumbling really.

I can't remember the exact details but Fish was on the HDID forum at the time and, if I remember correctly, the fall out occurred during the organisational stage rather than on the day.

Found this thread with some pictures of the day but can't find the pre-match thread.

He probably wanted Blue shirts...

Wow.... some blast from the past there Nick.
Yeah it certainly wasn't an 'on the day thing' as Robin made an appearance & from that, led to a close friendship with RickG. It could well have been Robin who got the Team hats & shirts supplied before things 'deteriorated'.
I think the 'Blackball' against BomberHarris would explain the disappearance of the pre-match 'banter' thread that, as usual, got out of hand. He & Doley brought about the 'ruination' of the HDIDo Forum as well as plenty of trouble on GM....... GM, such a well-controlled, polite discussion area now.. haha.
Was a fun day with folk travelling up from Hereford (Simon & Juggles), Bournemouth (PaperBoy & AlanV) & me & Galbraith down from Leeds. So many memorable meets!!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

What other forums are still going strong. Think we need to call them out for a match (team uniforms mandatory of course)

i remember there was some real niggle for the match you had down south, when we had the match against them at Blairgowrie, it was very good natured, even though we got hammered. and TBH Bomber and Doyley were two of the nices guys you could every meet face to face.
