North vs South 2012 - South Team Meet Up

Hi, I'm looking to organise an event which as well as serving as a Golfshake event will hopefully also double up as a South team meet and greet and build up to the North v South.

To get an idea of geographica availability could you let me know roughly where abouts in the South you are so I can look to arrange prior to the main North v South event.

UPDATE: register for the South Team here: http://www.golfshake.com/golf/view/6335/

Regards, Darren.

myself and my playing partner are down in Brighton, but dont mind travelling to this. Thats once he has taken his clubs out of the loft and taken the game up again !

Don't mind anywhere. That is south of Watford. Have clubs will travel.

Im just outside Cambridge.

Darren VW.  If you coincider yourself a Southerner then yes.

We organise an annual North vs South matchplay event, which will be in it's 6th year this year and we generally have 2 teams of around 26-30 players taking part so a great event.

I'm just trying to give the South team a pre game meet-up and a bit of team building prior to the main North vs South.

The South have only won once - http://www.golfshake.com/community/northvsouth/history/

how many other ways are there to spell consider! - Martin if you are captaining the North it would be a good idea to something similar

Want me to come along and give you some tips?  

I'm Near Norwich....but availability is quite limited to weekends...which sucks!

Hi - Do we have an exact date/weekend for the actual North v South yet?  I think it's due to be around early June time, am on holiday end May & first week June so just trying to suss availability!

Had to miss last years event having played in previous 2 and hoping not to be AWOL again this year!

Cheers

I'm in Cambridge. Would be interested depending on dates.

I'm not sure if Darren has got anything firmed out yet. He's probably still compiling all the survey data.

Thanks for feedback on the South, I'll look to get a South event sort end of April/early May in preparation but open to all.

Now we have a South Captain.  I'll look to get this sorted.

will post info on this South event shortly

Have you still got a south captain? :@

uuummm....I live a few miles from the geometric 'centre' of the country.  Am I north or south?  I'm leaning towards northern!

Probably looking South of Reading somewhere between M4 & M3.  This South enough ?

Hi Darren.

Just had a quick look at those registered for South team and only 4 live north of Berkshire.

Maybe mr Marshalls idea of further south wouldnt be such a bad idea.

I will travel to the event anyway so just keep us posted.

"Probably looking South of Reading somewhere between M4 & M3.  This South enough ?"

Uness the water hazard is the Solent, you are holding it too far North http://www.golfshake.com/scripts/ckeditor362/plugins/smiley/images/wink_smile.gif" title="wink" width="20" />

What that's not South ?

To me its the southmidlands Darren LOL !!!

In my opinion this is the best area in the country for golf courses.

There are loads of fantastic courses around the a3 and m3.

I am not suggesting we play Sunningdale or Wentworth but there are numerous others in the surrey / berkshire sand belt, its just the expense and the likelyhood of holding an event at them.

Looking forward to the venue you choose anyway.

Tim.

Never mind South any chance of coming South west! just kidding S Winchester will be no probs for me or Kev H.

How much do we have to raise so you don't show http://www.golfshake.com/scripts/ckeditor362/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.gif" title="devil" width="20" />

I may go along on a sneaky reccie mission for the North.  South Wincester is a good track

I've heard it's between Pitsmouth and Poule

Is there a course at Loserville - that would be an ideal venue for the South meet up!

I would be very keen for this warm up match if it takes place over the weekend of 19th/20th May. I am booked up with holiday's, stag do's and weddings every other weekend in April and May!

Live in Gloucester so anything within an hour or so would be fine. What about Oxford way? 

"Is there a course at Loserville - that would be an ideal venue for the South meet up!"

Dave, They'll be playing the NvS there!!!

Adam, will be going slightly further South than Oxford.

Donnington, Wokefield or Caversham? you'll enjoy Caversham.
