GM Team wanted. August 20th 2012

well said murph,although haven't got a clue what's been going on.looking forward to playing a good course and a good day.Nice and FRIENDLY ( until the first tee ;-)
 
Thanks Nick for taking over this. Hope everything sorts itself out.

Looking forward to playing a different course and meeting old and new faces.

I'm happy with or without food, as I have a night shift to look forward to Monday.
 
Cheers mate, much appreciated. I've put a new thread up looking for a player.
Wrighty, it might be worht putting a thread on here looking for another player. I am sure someone would be up for it to make the numbers up and have a game somewhere nice. There is a little bit of a competitive side to this match but at the end of the day it is just a bunch of blokes going out for a game of golf together. If you get someone from this forum then I will play for the HDID team, I am not really that bothered mate if it evens the teams up.
 
Thanks for stepping in to save the day wrighty1874, we're all in your debt!

I don't know if it's been done previously (all I can find is a list of GM Team players) but could we have a list of the pairings, showing user names, actual names and handicaps for both teams please?

I'm another who isn't too worried about prizes or food, it's all about the golf and the chat.

Would have loved to (can rearrange work).. but a bit of a trek (wont get it approved by HQ).

<Rant> Why dont we have anything in Surrey, Hampshire et al.. <Rant over>
 
Just to update the h/c I am now on 21.5

Max handicap is 18, its golf the boys on HDID play not cricket, Nick well done for taking up the role for HDID and I expect you to lead your guys to a total whitewash just like the one we had up here earlier in the year:whoo:

Come on HDID, have a great day.

As far as I know this will be the second, there was one in Scotland that resulted in a narrow win for HDID.

Reading a few threads on HDID they seem to take the whole thing a lot more seriously than we do, we're referred to by some as Chompers (which from the thread I was reading means anybody with a double digit handicap) and the fact that some of us list our clubs in our signatures comes under ridicule as does the fact that many of us don't show our handicaps.
I think that handicaps show automatically on HDID as it's basically the site for handicap allocation for many club members whereas GM is inclusive of anybody who plays golf and is enthusiastic about golf, whatever their handicap and even if they don't have a handicap.

Should be a good day whatever and I'm really looking forward to it, but let's see if we can redress the balance in meet scores!

Narrow win it was, 5 nil to HDID, not sure how our English team will do as they have a few Chompers in their team.......lol

Come on HDID take it to the GM guys......
 
GM Diggers.can live with that bomber :-) shame you couldn't make the trip down

Would love to had made the trip but this is something that we need to let the HDID Chompers do on their own, well just about on their own as we have sent Popeye down to bolster their team. Nick will do a great job and Boo will be the man to watch, just hope you guys don't dig a big hole for GM as this is a big match and if the HDID Chompers whoop the GM Diggers then you guys will never live it down:whoo:

Looks like it could be a HDID Scottish final v the HDID English Chompers

Play well guys and enjoy the game now let the banter commence


Now can you Dig it Sukkaa..............
