I do wonder if all the rubbish that was spouted on here last time has also put people off this event. It certainly has for me. I've not seen much since that would convince me to do it again.

I have travelled a long way to many meets, the furthest away being goswick at 6 hours so it's not the travelling putting me off!

where is the LIKE button?

I see a hammer and a nail............................ I think you have hit it square on the head......................

That's the reason I have no interest.

Understand the sentiment guys genuinely but they aren't all bad eggs. Most just utter wind up merchants.

 

[User20205]

Sour grapes on here if you ask me. its clear you dont like the white wash you keep getting.

Rant over.

thats not a wind up, thats just being a dick !

 

[Val]

thats not a wind up, thats just being a dick !

And it's not true either

 

[Bomber69]

Just put your name down.

Big Sam (Bomber69) organises them up here.

We had the first one at Blairgowrie last sping and Leven Links at Christmas.. We must be due another eh?

Patrick Old Boy I believe your correct and it's about time for another meet in Scotland, seems our English friends just can't seem to agree on things

Why don't we arrange another match between The GM Chompers & the HDID Hackers, I am sure we have a host of good clubs between us that can host such an event.

Scotscraig
Blairgowrie
West Kilbride
Glenbervie

Just to name a few, Like Val say's I think you lads need new blood for your captain mind as your last matches were nothing short of poor.

If we can agree a venue and someone from here can start the ball rolling I will sort out the Hackers from HDID.

Bring it on as they say:whoo:

 

[User20205]

And it's not true either

the fact no one wants to play in his game would indicate otherwise

Just sticking my nose in, but I'm sure Valentino meant it's not true that GM keep getting whitewashed.

Just the twice from 3

The reason for this thread was to arrange a game for next year. If some don't want to play because of last year then they are entitled to their view . However there is no need to turn this into a slanging match again.if your not interested in playing you don't need to comment.all you are doing is putting off people who do want to play.

Your comment about not wanting to make the effort put enough off already.

sorry Val. I'll get my prescription checked :thup:

I've played in 2 of the 3 organised already :ears: but given your meet was the crux of a 600 mile round trip then it would count me out.

I've changed my mind, when & where is it again ?

Good question.that was the idea of the thread.it seems to have got slightly off track

There have been quite a few proposals but none have been acknowledged. Its simply a case of looking into a few venues, find out prices and packages and then offer a small choice and then commit quickly on one and run with it.

I think it could still go ahead if we can mve on from what happened between people last year on the forum. If people would be interested playing if it was a different venue and date then maybe we can get it to happen. I have dropped an E-mail to Luffenham Heath (open qualifying course) asking what sort of deal they could offer on 18 holes and a bite to eat afterwards. Not trying to steal your thread quinn, it is just an idea to see if we can make this happen. I was one of the people that got fed up with last years posts and said never again, but I am willing to forget what happened.

For what it's worth, I think this would be more fun if it was a 36 hole event with pairs in the morning and singles in the afternoon. I know it extends the day but if people were prepared to stay over the night before (or after) then it could work.

And make sure it's a GOOD course....no dog tracks!! :ears:

We did that against another golf forum 2 or 3 years ago, at Forest Pines. It was over a weekend though, pairs Saturday, singles Sunday. Twas good.

Luffenham is a great course. 36 holes would be good and if people did need to stay over night it is not far from Stamford which is nice. I will see what Luffenham can do and put it up on here. If we did have 4-ball better ball in the morning and tee off around 9:00 we could then head out for singles at around 13:30 eat at 18:00 and be away by 19:00. That would still work and people would not need to stay over if they are within a couple of hours. I will get a price for 36 holes with lunch and dinner along with 18 holes and dinner and see what people think. On their website it quotes £55 for 18 or £70 for 36 so hopefully get a good society discount, it could be a goer. If there is still no interest after moving the date and venue then so be it.
