North v South - The Countdown Commences

Posted by: user33026 [FORUM MODERATOR] | Mon 4th Jun 2012 09:56 | Last Reply

Five weeks from today, a band of brave boys and girls will be taking part in the most hotly contested golf competition. The Golfshake North v South. So what are your thoughts?

Which side will win?

Who are you hoping to draw/avoid in the match ups?

Who is stopping over?

Who will have the biggest hangover on Monday morning?

Will Dave Ley nobble his opponents again?

Will the pros be called out for a ruling again this year?

Will there be another 'leafgate'?

Let the banter begin!

Which side will win? The one with the most points!

Who are you hoping to draw/avoid in the match ups? The pair that will be the most magnanimous in defeat and buy me a Guinness when we bash them!

Who is stopping over? Me!

Who will have the biggest hangover on Monday morning? Whats a hangover? Oh,just google that and Darren Millichips name came up...

Will Dave Ley nobble his opponents again? Not sure what your getting at?

Will the pros be called out for a ruling again this year? Definately!

Will there be another 'leafgate'? Maybe ,but never again by young Dazza!

Really getting close now and I'm sorry that I will miss it!

When I saw the draw for the Jubilee Cup, it said we would be playing Stoke-by-Nayland in an away match. So I went for the team. Managed to get in the team.

The game against Stoke-by-Nayland is on the Sunday of the North v South so it's scuppered my chances of attending. Shame, I really enjoyed the two days last year.

Hope you have a great event and may the North win (again!)

It was �35 for play only on Sunday and Monday Adam. I know cos that's what I was doing but I'm now staying over. I believe everyone has to pay up one month before

Just for clarity it's �35 for the Monday, Sunday is TBC.

It's a steal at �89 for the 2 days with the 2 rounds of golf, evening meal and overnight accom plus breakfast on the Monday before the main event.

Confirmation for the Sunday golf only will be provided shortly.

The side with Jimmy Govere in will definately win !!!!! (he is presently on the waiting list for both sides)

no one that i want to avoid, but plenty that i would like to spend a few hours in the company of from the north side.

i am definately staying over and hoping that singles can be arranged for those that want it on the sunday.

Dave will not nobble anyone, they will nobble themselves trying to keep up with him.

biggest hangover will be the winning captain on tues morning

not sure about leafgate, but pretty sure there will be some kind of trousergate from the miilichips

less than 30 more sleeps till d day !!!!!

I believe, unless anyone else comes forward, that Tim Greaves and Darren Millichip have put themselves forward to represent the South and North respectively.

South looking strong?? Have they put some Viagra in their eyes!

The North have won before a ball is hit as the South will be quivering in their plus fours, mind you a few shandies should give them enough Dutch courage to hit their opening tee shots!

We're only playing at the Abbey bacause there are kennels for our whippets, a loft for our pigeons, have a flat cap cleaning service and sell a decent pint of bitter. And it's cheap

Private members golf clubs seem remarkable efficient and well run organisations so I am sure they will be back to normal soon. I did hear that all their electrics were fried and melted so my main thought was to check your booking as they could have lost them all if their backups died too. But no worries as I was mistaken with the location.

Well I can't wait for this event...missed last year and looking to avenge my loss for the first time I played.

As to who I hope I play....someone who can't hit it straight off the tee and who has the yips of course!

I vaguely remember the tee times for Sunday being from 12.00. Can anyone confirm this? Reason I'm asking is because my lift down there on Sunday has let me down so will have to get the train. Earliest train will get me to Redditch train station for 11:53!!!! and then a taxi. Could sure use a late tee time on Sunday Darren.
