Golf Meets

[Voyager EMH]

Not been to a large meet yet.
Last two years I have invited 3 forumers to my club's charity AmAm.
Several three and fourballs were arranged thanks to @Bamberdele2.0 starting this thread: https://forums.golfmonthly.com/threads/midlands-forum-link.111260/

We tried to make it a slightly larger meet early this year - we needed a minimum of 9 on a Sunday for Charnwood Forest.
There were not enough takers.

With meet-ups, you will get what people can or want to do - this is a matter of choice - it can not be forced - nor is there any reason, as far as I can see, to be disappointed with the choices that other people make with regard to their time and money.

But my thanks to all who continue to offer to arrange such meet-ups.

I've been to 2 x meet ups, both H4H - Hayling & Hankley and will be doing the Princes one next year that Dando is sorting. As it stands I have children who are 5, 3 and 1 so it's fairly difficult to wangle time to get to my home club (which is a stone's throw away) let alone further afield. I'm really keen on seeing and playing other courses, especially the well-known ones, but it's a juggling act for me.

I played with two forumers at my place a couple of weeks ago, is that classed as a meet?

Did you meet on a misty bridge whilst wearing a carnation?

Misty Bridge sounds like the name of a adult film star

There could well have been some fog on the Tyne.

It was more monsoon on the Tyne as it came down cats and dogs about 30 minutes after we walked off 18 ️

The forum has changed over the years , when I first started it was mainly about golf and lots used the forum to play in meets and there have been some brilliant ones

But over the years it’s become less about golf and that’s prob because of the “b word” then Covid and now constant threads revolving around climate etc

I haven't noticed this, but that might be because I never look at the Out of Bounds section. For me, the forum is 100% about golf!

No one is forced into the OOB section, no one is forced to read particular threads. We all make choices, it isn't hard.

I don't know why more don't do this, ignore the threads that upset them, stress them out etc

It would be nice if we could actually ignore threads rather than users. The forum software is unhelpful in that regard.

Never been to one, can’t ever see my doing so in future.

Absolutely no problem with this at all, but anything that might change your mind could be interesting...

I posted a question about the new T200s all the early replies where the same old gripes about lofts and added nothing to the thread.

The old club fetishists in the main

Aye, short of room in the attic for the many clubs, could do with larger lofts.

Talk about lofts falls under the category of 'golf' doesn't it. I'm a little curious how someone who has been a forum member for less than one month can have noticed the 'same old gripes' on any subject yet!

Yes but not the op, take that chat elsewhere as far as I'm concerned.

Went to a meet a good few years ago. Sadly that experience didn’t sell it for me.
came across very cliquey, and felt I was a bit of an outsider.

Was that the Mentmore one just before it closed ?
