MG v GM

[Fengibbon]

All,

Seems there a bit of a recurring spat between golfmagic and moongolfer, with some pledging loyalty to one site, some t'other and some happy to post and read both (that last one will be me then.)

Well, lets have a bit of fun on a golf course (will post this on MG/GM also)

I suggest a friendly competion and i'll put the trophy up.....

Heres the idea:

12 golfers from each site to represent their chosen site. (age sex, colour, creed, religious faith (if any) sexual orientation, birthstone, favourite colour, matters not a jot!)

36 holes on a central(ish) , (to England) course - in one day.

Morning - greensomes.

Afternoon - singles.

All off 3/4 the difference

Will post this on GM as well and see if can draw enough interest - given the fading daylight now, I propose early part of next season

Any takers?

[Nikey Mikey]

I'l take MacB!!! :madw:

Doubt i would be invited mate good idea if you can find some nice guys:D

[MisterS3]

All the events on here are open to anyone - not just MG members. So if people want to come along and play at one of the organised events they are welcome.

Highlighted by the fact that the MG Scotland champs isn't an member of MG!! :D

Plus i could technically play for both sides (behave!!) :D

[True Blue]

I could be persuaded to take part!

[MisterS3]

Just a quick note: Please remember Rule 2

This as a genuine attempt to organise a game. Not an excuse for trolling / flaming etc.

Might make sense to co-ordinate this with one of the Soft Southy events??? 3PW?? I'll be back to go one better :D

[Marker]

I can't attend sadly but sounds like a good laugh.
I will be watching with interest.
(Moongolfer rocks btw):p

[rsh1960]

Hi Marker how's things going, settled in yet.
More important have you played any golf

[Gogs Guy]

I'm in

Eh?

Looks like the (great ;)) courses we have picked for next year will be full on allocation and last minute drop outs would go to MG people not GM.

Looks like this event needs to be separate from the rest if there is one down south.

3PW

[Tin Pot]

As I suggested a friendly I'm obviously interested, but I don't play old school 3/4 difference rules. :)

I hear you are organising it TP....

Okay - gotcha :D

[Tin Pot]

god help us all

I gave up last night after seeing the level of abuse, but Fen has posted this today, so I dunno where we are.


...So what's new? I hear you say. :rolleyesw:

[MisterS3]

Well i've added names to the first post.

Shout yay or nay for possible interest - obviously dependent on date, venue, cost etc.

[3puttwizard]

Why not just incorporate it into the MG Open you are planning?

[True Blue]

Well i've added names to the first post.

Have I done something to upset you?!?!?;)

WHoops sorry Rob! :)

[Tin Pot]

I'm not in - CONGU rules or not at all I'm afraid, a point of principle.

[aces_up1504]

I am for it! Given my post numbers, i think GM will have to put up with me!

So whos going to step up to the plate and organise it? Maybe some one who is a long time poster on both sites and has met people off both sites?

How about you True Blue? Got good form for orgainsing days out!

[MisterS3]

Do you think?

[Lowho]

Btw full handicap allowance is a Congu Recommendation, not a rule

[MisterS3]

I agree!! :D

But stop being such a girl :D

[3puttwizard]

Do you think?


Would make it easier wouldn't it?

[Tin Pot]

Btw full handicap allowance is a Congu Recommendation, not a rule

<sigh> either way I don't play 3/4 handicap unless forced to at my home club. I'm trying not to take this off on a tangent here, but you're testing me.

:rolleyesw:

:tongue:

[MisterS3]

Would make it easier wouldn't it?

But i reckon we'll fill an open with the guys that came to FofA and the MG regional events?

[3puttwizard]

Seems like they are mentioning Staverton which has been played to death.......

I'll hopefully be able to make the MG Open if its easy to get to but doubt I could do another one up north as well as sorting out the 4 Masters ones down here...

So I'll leave it up to TP to represent our club in the inter forum game:o

Like it makes much difference for you!! Low teens or high teens (stableford points) its all still crap :laugh:

Comedy! We had 4 in Scotland last year and this year and 4 of us made FofA which is a good drive!!

Plenty more will make one in the Manchester / Leeds areas. And its still closer to London than FofA is to Glasgow.

Poor show :no: Or are you just scared!! :laugh:

The comedy comment relates to sending TP :laugh: He'd never make it if he left now! :D

[3puttwizard]

Not scared at all but could be scarred....;)


It will take spa days,flowers, chocolates and bags of cash to bribe the wife for one weekend away let alone 2.

Comprendez?

No not really...but then...those are the joys of being single :laugh:

[3puttwizard]

TP will turn up a week later without his clubs

[Longshot]

No not really...but then...those are the joys of being single :laugh:

You have no idea :laugh:

[Shankboy]

Possibly best if i didnt play this!!

[MisterS3]

Possibly best if i didnt play this!!

No - you are in for sure!!! :D

[MisterS3]

Come on...no one else even registering a slight interest?

Even just to see Shankboy off the first tee again :D Or even better join him for a curry after!! :D

[Fieldsy]

I'm not up for this AT ALL. I'll quite happily play anyone but I'm not gonna be part of any us versus them games. If people from GM want to join MG and be part of our Masters/Open events, all well and good, the more the merrier, and all the other applicable cliches......but judging by responses on both forums (other than my own which were not meant to be forum v forum, just aimed at certain individuals who had p*ssed me off) there's too much scope for bad feelings to break out again.

I disagree. It's only a game of golf. And the responses from certain individuals are purely that and intended to stir things up. Ignore them. They won't turn up anyway. Enjoy the golf regardless.

Thanks but I retired from that game earlier this year! Think Fen is arranging it.

You up for another round with me and wilo some time soon?

[Stu-Pid]

Without knowing dates, venues and costs, it's very difficult to say whether I could make it or not!

I agree with 3PW though, MrS3 should be representing MG/ RG or he should retire as a mod... :tongue:

Okay its glad to be wanted :D

Yeh i know it was really "you should retired as a mod!" :laugh:

I just think you guys are scared in case you have to play me :laugh:

Yeh i know you'd rather i just retired as a mod :D

BTW - if you look at the first post. I do have my name down. And if you read further on. I did say if you are anyway inclined to play at all (i get the feeling Chris isn't that keen) you can put your name down provisionally! I'll put you down Stu :D

[Fieldsy]

Not at all S3, I don't mind getting beaten (at golf) by anybody. :rolleyes:

I'm keen to play golf, but not in an interforum event as things stand.

And for the record S3 I don't think you should stand down as a mod, but maybe you should apologise to the MG'ers (namely Ben Blank and Frank?) who stood up with you yesterday only for you to offer to play for the other team (and here's me thinking I'd only ever say that about Stu-pid :D) :laugh:

BTW my tongue was firmly in my cheek when I wrote this.....

[cobra4]

i'd be available if required!

[MisterS3]

Okay you can play for GM then :laugh:

That Ben Blank bloke?? Who is he? Sounds like a made up name to me :laugh:
As for Frank? Haven't seen him about these parts for years!! :laugh:

Hey that could be Anthony from a few years back!! :laugh:

[3puttwizard]

BTW - if you look at the first post. I do have my name down.
I agree you have but you also said on GM that you would play for them.

But I noticed thats been edited now...

Then comes
"As a longer poster on here I'll play for GM then" - LGL
"Pengwyn: as per LGL - i've been a longer time poster on here than MG." S3
"LOL @ Penfold http://www.golfmagic.com/forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gifAfter my exploits at Camberely i'm sure i'm not welcome on the MG team anway! " S3

Time to show your allegiance methinks.:rolleyes:

Sheeesh you guys really do want me on your team!! :laugh:

You do realise i'm playing off 14 now...oh wait..i'd have still kicked your ass :laugh:

And to clear up..yes i'll play for ROCKGOLFER!!

[Fieldsy]

Get your ass down to the next one Ian....I won't beat you (unless miracles are in the air that day) but I wouldn't mind betting you wouldn't come second again. In fact, I think even Tin Pot will give you a good thrashing next time. :rolleyes:

:laugh: that's the funniest thing i've read in ages!! :laugh:

Hopefully come next year i'll be able to hit irons into greens from 150yards and putt a bit better. Ask Stu - i reckon that should be worth a few more points easy :laugh:

That wasnt my point Ian, as you well know. I for one would be disappointed that a Moderator on one site would be teaming up with the competition on the other side to play aginst your team...


By the way you are great at avoiding the real question. Tony Blair style

[MisterS3]

What was the question?

If its about offering to play for GM - I'm guilty. (i think this is where i say "sue me" - but i have no idea why you would want to?!:confused:)

But i don't get why you would be disappointed? Its only a bit of fun? No need to take things so seriously. Now if it was a Scotland V England Ryder cup style match. Then yes...i'd go kill myself :yes:

[Bobbie]

As I suggested a friendly I'm obviously interested, but I don't play old school 3/4 difference rules. :)

Good for you TP play`em off scratch.
Best man wins.

[Tin Pot]

LOL

You don't say much, but when you do :laugh:


@Ian/3PW the WHOLE point of the match is to break down so-called allegiances and prove that we don't all appear to be as we are online.

For example MS3 is actually quite likeable and rational in person, and 3PW is a c...not.

Well that's what i thought! :confused: So why am i getting such a hard time from 3PW etc? :no:

They are bad boys...i'm off to hide in the juniors forum :laugh:

Gentlemen, we have our first etceteraphobic on the forum.

[MisterS3]

Who do you mean by etc ?????


3PW's bipolar disorder :yes:

[Mike]

I'd be up for it if:

- plenty of MG regulars were also willing
- it was full handicap (anything else is cheating imo)
- not Staverton (they've done it to death)

Kind regards

Mike (aka Frank xx)

[Tin Pot]

Did anyone suggest Woodhall Spa?


(aka Frank xx)

Don't start that again Mr. Butcher! :wink:

[3puttwizard]

Yes, ages ago and it got knocked back

[Nikey Mikey]

Try it ;):no:

[O.M]

i'll be up for it, depending where it was etc.....

to be fair a good excuse for a round of golf IMO.

[Nick Davis]

I threw in my hat with the Moongolfer mob in the thread on GM so stick me down in the MG team.

Though if you dont want me I'll happily bat for the other side.

I have no interest in the trivial little spat and feel comfortable wearing either the Moongolfer Orange or the GolfMagic Green.

No time for golf yet sadly but I will be checking out St Andrews course in Hamilton tomorrow.
My clubs should arrive next week and I hope to get my first game in then.:)
