Disappointing that this year's match didn't come off... will look to it for next year Boo. In the meanwhile hope you don't mind me slipping in a wee advert for this Sept, overnight Meet @ Hollins Hall, Dinner Bed & B + 2 rounds on a 2013 Trilby Tour Qual course, just £85... go here for more

36 holes at Woodhall Spa, come on you boys from that neck of the woods, get it sorted.
That would be worth the journey :thup:

That has got to be the worst recommendation possible for any course :rofl:

That is the other thought that I have had..........going on the standard day rate it would be £35 more than Luffenham for 36 holes, but obviously depends on the society rate they will give.

If we could get a similar deal to the one(s) we've had before and make it a 2 day job, it's easier on those that have to travel. Plus it could be a weekender.

Haven't done it myself, but it seems there are lots signing up for the TT again and again.... can't all be bad & whilst Hollins Hall isn't in the same league as Woodhall Spa, at £85 it is a very good deal for a, none-exclusive, competitive Meet & to get to know like minded souls..... why not try it :whoo:

And me.
Think the HDID gents may have the priorities slightly wrong (in my opinion of course, others may be more competitive)
I was thinking about it but reading things like "it's the result thats most important but a good day would be nice" and the hilarious attitude of the chap on this thread count me out.
Spoke to a few members about the prospects of playing Luffenham and all of them had nothing but praise for the course. So, would it be wasted on a small field of HDID Vs GM, why not a decent open meet for anyone with a prize pot :thup:
I agree Robin it's probably better if you take out the pressure of playing against the lads from HDID and then you can all enjoy the game without the fear of another whitewash
The English lads on HDID are ready and will give you guys a re-match whenever your ready....

Have you not noticed that we are not really that interested in who wins. For us it is just a day out with some different blokes and a laugh with a bit of competition. I really did enjoy the company of boo and wrighty last year and it would be nice to stick one up them as revenge though......I agree Robin it's probably better if you take out the pressure of playing against the lads from HDID and then you can all enjoy the game without the fear of another whitewash
I agree that it's all about having a good day and not every meet should be about GM v HDID but these can be goods days as well and all the pre-match hype that goes along with it.
It's all banter after all and should only be taken in this manner but some of the guys on here took it to serious and it started clouding their minds. It's only a game:thup:

I know what your saying, but some of the banter did go a bit too far. I was one of the people that got fed up with it and it really did put me off wanting to play. But hey, that was in the past. :thup:

Good idea. But this thread is about a gm v hdid 2014 match.it looks a nice course though.

It did get a bit daft to be fair. Most of it was from people who weren't even playing. Think the banter was only meant as that. And they have apologised
So probably best to forget it.thought it was a good day to be honest . better than working

Bomber do you think we could still sort something for this year.it might need somebody else to sort a gm team.maybe somebody who's organised one before. The first attempt didn't go to well.

Quinn do not take it personally. I still believe the main reason you did not get a team is due to certain factors. Being on a Friday, the location and course. If you had picked say something like Woodhall Spa, FoA, Luffenham etc etc you would have got a lot more interest. Remember some people do not get a lot of paid holiday in their job and have a family, so to book a day off for golfing is going to take an excellent course to get them interested.

Im fine with it adey
it was a bit rushed as it looked like nothing was going to happen.thought it might be possible to somehow rescue it.if someone who had arranged one before had a go
