challange our society to a match

Hi there everyone,

I am part of a local golf society in Leicester and we are looking for a society that we can play in a match every so often if your interested please contact me via here or on [email protected] , players in our society range from handicaps of about 18-28 and we all play for fun,

You realise of course what happened the last time a challenge was issued on these forums? It resulted in the North vs South whitew... challenge!  Mind you it was fun, despite the pre-match needle...

Hi James Good chattin to you today i'll see you on saturday at enderby about 10ish.As for the rest of you !! north v south obviosuly didnt include any of us east midlanders hey !! lolok guys well what can i say.........just bring it !! lol wots the worse that can happen ? we get whooped and hack the hell out of a course !! sounds like a normal round to me !!

Under 50's more like Wayne, leave it to the young 'uns.Actually Alp P, there were at least 6 'Northerners' from the East Midlands, including me! I'm sure that Tims Weekday Whackers would be up for a match. Bet Tim W will turn up in this thread soon!

however a challange is a challange.......lol, if anyone of you guys is up for a friendly round then just say im sure we can sort something out......if u dare !

ps, off to update my profile now,...

Tim what do you reckon, sure we could get a 3 counties challenge going.  Leics, Derbys, Notts

Tri-county challenge? Sounds interesting, I'm in for Derbys. Has any one here played Breedon Priory? That has to be the nearest course to all three (apart from Trent Lock, but I think thats mostly underwater at the moment). Not played there but have seen it and often wondered what it ws like.

I could easily get a team from the big smoke.

played breadsall priory, now thats a good course !!

hmm something tells me you guys have done this all before and i could be swimming in the deep end with some sharks !!  lol

Worse than swimming with sharks Alps P, more like golfing with bandits. No names mentioned. 

blimey this really has got moving hasnt it !!firstly, for Tim H, which bandits in partucular those from up north or down south!! (oooh i really shouldnt have gone there hey !! lol)ok you can definately count me in to representing Leicestershire/midlands also - how many on each side though ?Tim watson - Brilliant idea i think - as long as i play more golf this year im happy !

Sounds good, A texas scramble match, with a four ball from each county.

how does that work?  I've just had a quick look and there seems to be a bit of a loose interpretation of how it's played.  From what I can gather is that 4 players drive and the captain picks the best, then all four players play from that spot and the same again.  Does that mean that if, say on a par 4, one of us hits the green in two we all have a put for a birdie from the same spot?  Is that the same for par 3's?  And is it just the best score wins?  Do handicaps paly a part?

the way i heard a texas scramble works is that you have a team of four players and you get to play from the best drive thats you choose, however from the four players in your team at least four drives from each player must be used, well thats what i was told.  seems all to complicated to me eg: keeping count of everyones drives, etc, also how the heck do u keep track of other teams etc..........i bet its well easy im just moaning cus ive never been part of it.....lol

please feel free to correct me if im wrong anyone about the above.

hoping to play on sunday after 5months, yeah i know.......scary isnt it !! lol

We need some Derby boys in here. Texas scramble sounds like a hoot 

hey guys, dont leave me out.... lincs borders on two of those counties so you can count me in to play for one of them!!!!!

Decisions, Decisions, Lorna we'd gladly have you with us for Leicestershire (us meaning theres only me and James so far in here from Leics by the look of it.....where u all hiding??!)  lol,

leicestershire Mafia looking pretty Solid with all the best players now....lolI think thats a total of 4 so far, anybody else wanna join the winning team !!lol (oh dear im gonna regret that !!)

Is it now more than a 3 counties challenge   If we took the leicestershire border we could add Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire and Cambridgeshire.

? 

Thats me in for Leicestershire then!! Looking forward to it ..... whenever and wherever it may be!

Me also cant wait for this to go ahead imsure it will be a great day if it does

I've create a society/group for this which everyone is welcome to join.  It can then be used to discuss the possible event, location, format, date, venue etc etc  similar to the North v South

Obviously called County Challenge.  Ideas for other names welcome

As long as you add London to that.

Nottinghamshire, Leicstershire, Derbyshire, Greater London all in the mix.

Essex reporting for duty, sir!

Hoping to improve on our last outing

Count us in!
