North vs South - Nottingham Area - Sat 31st October 09

[KeefG]

Me & vig have had a 2 thread discussion regarding another game and thought it would be good to have another North vs South game.

Ramsdale Park in Nottingham is looking most likely to be the venue and the date I have in mind is Sat 31st October. There are a number of forum meets going on before then so it gives a nice gap between the last one which is in August to this one.

So, who's up for it? Anyone living south of Nottingham can play for the shandy drinkers, anyone living north of Nottingham can play for the real men....anyone living in Nottingham can choose who they play for!! Century my good man....you can be on a winning team for a change

I will get in touch with Ramsdale in a few days after the initial response is recieved and see what prices/packages they can offer but I was thinking play the 18 hole course only as it has now been pointed out that we probably wouldnt have time for 27 holes that late in the year!

Who's up for it?

I am pretty much a certainty for this one. I live very slightly south of Nottingham but no way am I a Southerner. Count me in for the North.

The Par 3 is 18 holes too but you could obviously just play the front 9.

Count me in as well. Just bear in mind BST ends the week before so dark at about 5.00pm.

Fair point....just 18 holes it is then!

What handicap do you need to have to get involved?

Re: North vs South - Nottingham Area - Sat 31st October 09

Normally does not matter, I played for the North West on Sunday off 25.

None at all, just integrity and decency in so far as if you say you're a 28 handicapper you dont come in with 50+ points! lol

or say you're off 25 and start eagling holes...




...Just kidding .

Re: North vs South - Nottingham Area - Sat 31st October 09

Well there is no doubt about that. My worry is that I'll be a liability as 28 isn't really enough for me at the mo so I'll be a very low scorer. But if the north will have me, put my name down.

No more a liability than several others fella! lol

I thought that by shaving off my moustache and leaving the sombrero in the car I might get away with it.


Foiled again

Out of interest why does it still have to be that far north - why not a bit further down to encourage guys who live way down on the south coast, west country etc.

I'm sure the course is a challenge etc but I know from speaking with guys like HTL and others that for us to travel up its a fairly long road trip on the day (not then conducive to going out and playing good golf) or an overnighter which adds to the cost and causes domestic problems. Its then either a quick getway after or another overnighter to enjoy the meal/drinks

I'm not trying to be difficult, just expressing an opinion and voicing questions that myself and others have all mentioned when we've talked about joining in these events.

After such an enjoyable day on Sunday count me in as a definite!
