Well done lads ... all of you for making the effort. I am sorry I couldn't make it but I am sure there will be a few sore heads tomorrow ...

Coz Vig will be banging them together for tomorrows matches.

With two points for a win and one point for a draw for each tie, 20-12 sounds more like it ;)

Certanly echo the thanks to SS2 and to John and Dave for captaining the teams. An inspired team selection for Friday by J_F made all the difference :)

Just got home after 7 hours in the car. Crackered. Thanks to all, but especially ss2 for organising, vig and j-f for captaining, and chris, John, j-f, Craig and frazer for the company on the course. A loss and a win for me. Not so bad. Worth the travelling. In the last three weeks I've spent 500 on diesel. I don't earn it that quickly.

Massive thanks to everyone involved, this was another superb event. Though my golf was woeful at times, I still had a great laugh. The amount drunk on Friday night did not help with my form today I think. Big thanks to SS2 for all the hard work in arranging everything and to John and Dave for their work as captains.

Well done to the Scots on a deserved win and to Screwback for beating me twice.

All that is left now is for Tincup to formally change his forum name to Dynamite.

A great weekend :)

Thanks to SS2 for organising, J_F and Vig for captaining, and Screwback for signing me onto Goswick on Thursday and then carrying me in our match on Friday.

Thanks also to my partner yesterday, Bonto. We did knit very well mate.


But most of all, thanks to the English team for taking the almighty humping in good spirit. :D:D

Looking forward to next year already. :)

Again may I express my thanks to Dave and John for the ability to provide an interesting pairing partnership once again, and to Andy for organising the event.
Just a pity about the weather but at least it kept dry until the final 8ball on the green. It was like wacky races on acid the putts were comming in from all sides and noone could find the ruddy hole.
To my playing partners for having to put up with me and the consant rabbiting on(joking Phil at least you made us laught and reach for the earplugs) and of course to the opposition for the well played games, won 1 lost 1 not bad really.
Here's to next year and let battle comence.

not quite the last one in, chris is still in Edinburgh awaiting his flight home.
another good year despite the defeat, so well done and thanks to Andy, Dave and John for their hard work - much appreciated. many thanks too, to my playing companions, John, Richard and Peter on day one, and Ivan, Richard and David on day two. one loss, one win for me - and huge thanks to Ivan for carrying me round the front nine, slow starter or what!
lots of new faces this time, and nice to see so many coming back.
a bit of a shock to find that it took the forum to show some local lads where Goswick is!
Chris, if you can get an Irish meet going . . .
John, I'll have a go at posting the photos tomorrow

..at least it kept dry until the final 8ball on the green. It was like wacky races on acid the putts were comming in from all sides and noone could find the ruddy hole.

Right, can I just add the truth to the above statement: Me and StuartD are 3 points behind Grumps and GJBike playing the last. Stuart drives the green, so with his stroke can 2 putt for a 3 net 2 = eagle = 4 points. Grumps is about 60 yards away with perilous bunkers blocking his route to victory.

I whisper to Stuart "If he takes a 6 net 5, we'll get a draw". So, what does Grumpyjock do ??

Sticks the ball in the hole for a 2 net 1 (i.e. albatross) and 5 points, that's what !

Jeez, what a shot and that gave Grumps 25 stableford points on the back nine. Nice one Chris, you played great on the back nine.

Thanks to everyone who made the trip and to Chris, Phil, Stuart and Owen for the games.

I was thinking about starting a campaign to get Scouser Phil to join the forum but just realised that the forum has a 25,000 character limit (~ 4000 words) on each post. During Friday night's pub crawl, our Evertonian colleague would frequently use that amount of words just to ask the barmaid for a drink !
