The "definitive" Old Farts v Whippersnappers thread.......

Sunday Afternoon 4BB. 90% handicap difference. Old Farts in white shirts (please) and Whippersnappers in black (pretty please).

Match 1. SMIFFY/CHRISD v KRAXX68/JUSTONE
Match 2. LEFTIE/TEEGIRL v REGION3/HEAVYGREBO
Match 3. BLUEINMUNICH/GG26 v PAPERBOY/FOLIAGE FINDER
Match 4. WILLIAMALEX1/GRUMPYJOCK v KHAMELION/STEVEW86
Match 5. 2BLUE/PUTTPUTTSTEVE v VIRTUOCITY/RUFF DRIVER
Match 6. ROSECOTT/JOHNNYDEE v IRIP/GREIGINFIFE
Match 7. IBSMITH04/FISH v RADBOURNE2010/BUTCHERCD
Match 8. LIG/CROW v DAN2844/MOOGIE

Well I'm predicting 5 wins for the Old Farts, 2 all square and 1 loss :eek:

I have written them down in a sealed envelope which will be produced in mitigation on Sunday night :cheers: I may change it slightly due to any player changes :smirk:

Must have been doing some stealthy research of peoples posts to gage their ability

No research whatsoever, I've played with many of the attendees or been at meets where some of the others have played over the years to give myself an informed idea, so it's clearly day 1 honors to the Old Farts :smirk:, we'll even stay up later and and drink more than the whippers also and still be fresh to spank you in the singles on day 2 :cheers:
 
We could actually run a pools comp on the first day at a quid each, whereby the winner is the entrant to guess the correct overall score after day one.

I have you down for 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses leaving the 'snappers in front 4.5-3.5 overnight.

Just going through the list, I've played golf with 13 people going.
 
If it's alright with Rob, I'm happy to run a predictions sweep on the day.

Entrance costs £1. Winner takes all.

-The winner will be the entrant who correctly predicts the correct overall score for the day.
-In the event of a draw, the winner will be the entrant with the most correctly predicted individual match results
-If this fails to find a winner, then prize pot will be split
-If no correct predictions, then the winner shall be the entrant with the most correctly predicted individual match results
-If this fails to find a winner, then prize pot will be split
-One entry per person
-Please bring change and a pencil!
-I will issue and collect slips before the round
-Results announced at dinner

All I want everybody to remember to do is bring 1 white and 1 black shirt with them for the week-end.
Old farts in White on the Sunday, Black on the Monday (in mourning for any overnight croakers)....
 
Unfortunately, Chris Chapple (Grumpyjock) has had to pull out, but we have a replacement.
