Looking at the photos I must say that some of the whippersnappers appear a bit wrinkley.
I looked for Murph in the Old Pharts photo and couldnt see him, then spotted him with the young uns and Just one too.
As a matter of interest, what is the age cut off between the 2 categories

Good point!
Only joking mate. You were a pleasure to watch. Norman was very impressed with your play.
Me? I was busy topping my way around Lincolnshire. I'm just glad I played reasonably well on Saturday.
Wasn't a total washout for me.

Cheers mate. Nice to hear that, he wasn't too shabby himself. Probably one of the most consistent golfers I've ever played with. Even with my shots, he made me work very hard for our halved match as he hit about 2 bad shots the whole round! Hardly a mistake to be made. And just when I thought he'd opened the door with his duffed second shot coming down the 18th, he stiffs his 3rd out of the 2nd cut to 7ft!
As you mentioned in an earlier post, the Matchplay format created a bit of a buzz and I really love playing matchplay. I enjoyed the singles immensely, but the saturday team format was awesome as you can plot your way round with different tactics using shots wisely (just not wisely enough in our case!
) Look forward to next year if I can afford to go! It's a shame the weather wasn't better and we couldn't get a full round paired together, for the 5 holes you were out there, you were good company! Hopefully another time.
Steve, if you're going up there in the summer let me know. Be nice to catch up, and play the course without flippers.
As to the score/half. You might have done to me on the back 9 what I did to you on the front 9 = honourable half was the only way to score it.

The cut off was 46, and although I am 46, I was not the oldest Whippersnapper. There was another, who met the age barrier, who was older than me, just.

Are you sure you're not doing a Trigger? "I've had the same ball for two rounds. It's had three different numbers, and three different makes, but it's the same ball"

Well done keeping it on the short stuff :thup:
He never said he kept it on the short stuff - I also managed to keep the same ball - they have some long ball retrievers on the Bracken

As for next year, happy with anywhere as it's such a great weekend. Brocket Hall would be an excellent venue and I don't mind paying a bit extra.

Never played there before but looks good on the internet site. What is the possibility of going somewhere and getting a deal to stay Friday and Saturday with 2 rounds on the Saturday and one on the Sunday. Not sure how much that would push the price up though. Be a bit more Ryder cup style so we could play better ball sat morning, greensomes sat afternoon and singles on the sunday.Have you ever tried having a home international match on the forum before? Play somewhere ooop north so we can have England against Wales, Scotland and Ireland?

There tends to be a big difference in cost at Brocket Hall depending on whether spring/sutumn or summer, my dad runs a couple of golf days there each year and tends to just nick into the autumn/spring dates due to the change in cost (and somehow hasnt had rain in over 20 runnings!)
If you are looking at it seriously as a venue would be happy to see if theres anything he could do to improve the value.
For anyone who's not played there, they are 2 cracking golf courses, different in style but both very very good tests of golf and usually in impeccable condition. Personally would prefer this to be held elsewhere as get to play there a fair bit but it would be a decent venue for it (albeit you may want to go offsite in the evening)
