Apologies...honestly thought you were joking.
I thought it would be more about the company than
What you played off.ive played with some right miserable single figure players. ( probably because they're stuck with a 15 hcp) :-) see what you mean though it's a long way to come.im sure they could keep all the decent players together . nice courses well worth travelling that long for.

No probs ... It would be a tad harsh if I came on here saying that I didn't want to play with an individual but I suppose there's nothing wrong with that. Why spoil a good day :D

dont be daft Nick, you're as welcome as anyone, at least as far as Im concerned and Id be surprised if anyone else felt differently (and theyd be wrong if they did lol)

as for HH, ROFL, yet another one, if I didnt play with anyone off more than 14 then Id have missed out of on many very good games with some of the best guys on here, as long as they are regular golfers with a hcap then thats fine by me

Are you for real? It is your choice if you travel or not, but we do not normally discriminate against handicaps, well not at any meets I have been to and that includes the huge meet at Blackmoor for Help 4 Heroes last year.

Why should someone be made to sit at the back and watch all the low lads go off just because they play off 18. I take it you have not played it before, because if you had you would know that it does not matter what your handicap is everyone is capable of having a nightmare around it. LAst time I played with one of my RAF mates Deano (+1) he just got round in under 90 from the yellows. So trust me, it does not matter what you play off round the Hotchkin.

So tell me something............ what was your first handicap?

Yeah I'm for real ... We're all brother's and I never discriminate. I only asked a simple/reasonable question and unless I'm missing something it's not a dating site for golfer's, or is it?

FYI - Like your mate, I can also shoot a 90 but the chances are that if I'm doing that with 2 unofficials and a golfshake I could be out there long enough to miss a meal!

Your final question - 16 but I improved. I don't wave a flag highlighting that for 20 odd years I'm lower than what you've ever been, it's nothing to brag about.

What's the issue playing with a player who has a handicap over 18? Doesn't mean they have an inability to be good company.. I've played with many scratch players and never had any complaints..

If your only looking to play with low figure players maybe a general meet isn't for you....

Gee whiz there's some attitude on here ... I've been on 4 of your meet things but I have a preference, it doesn't mean to say that I don't muck in. The Novice handicap that you can buy for a fiver or get from the boozer means nothing in golf, their not for me.

The only reason she wasn't interested and didn't hang around was because of the poisonous cloud PieMan was creating!! :o

Was that the woman who wanted to "take us all on"?!!!

Gary - please count myself and Blundell in.

Sounds like you need to be in my group - I never miss a meal at a forum meet! :)

I'm out. I might draw you in my group, and quite frankly, I don't want to run the risk.

So how about an official CONGU supplied handicap of above 18? Would that still be a "no your obviously not to my standard therefor I'm not interested in talking to you" attitude?

I'm sorry, I don't want to turn this thread into a spamming match, just a little taken back of a preference not to play with anyone who is not of your ability.. I understand the comment about buying a handicap from golf shake etc and can understand that, thus my question re CONGU official handicap.

That's my last post on the subject, like I said this is a thread for what will be a very fair and well organised meet, so either way I'm looking forward to it.

Edited to add a smiley face :-)

Quite right ... You look young enough and if you've just started that handicap can only get better, good luck Geezer.
 
i fancy this just a bit soon to commit fully need to leave until least end of month so I'll have to take my chances on availibility then.

Oh and I don't mind playing with any handicap. :)
