don't know if anybodys looked yet but this is the same date as the golfshake open final
It's been noted Paul and
It's been noted Paul and Allan, quite rightly in my opinion, pointed this out to Darren and suggested he move it which he has been unable to do.
I don't know about anyone else but, if both matches stay on the same day, I won't bother entering a GS Open qualifier, saving me the entrance fee. My view is that we support our league and hopefully, the amount of people that will also do this will send a message to Darren that he needs to consult a bit more before releasing the Golfshake calendar for 2011.
Ged has been in contact and
Ged has been in contact and is trying to let this match slip one week, to not clash with the GS Open. I will let you know if he can when i hear from him.

Sorry Allan, I have to cancel, the money I put aside for this has had to go towards a new tyre for my car.
Ok, will let Ged know we have
Ok, will let Ged know we have a team of 16. They are around the 18 mark, so we might end up having to take Mario on our side (there goes a point based on last two matches).

Ok, added you name to the list Neil, so we now have 17 confirmed to play, to keep the record going. Remember in times of need, Liverpool, Man Utd, Everton are all playing pish at the moment!
Morning Girls, Just to update
Morning Girls,
Just to update you all on the state of affairs if you could get to the course for 10-00 so we can sort out the draw, then breakfast will be served at 10-30 the first groups will eat first, first tee is 11-40. We currently have 22 players confirmed, i am not expecting any of these to drop out so we will sort something on the day, i suggest if you can't get 5 more players then that's 5 point to us. I also suggest the 9Th hole as NP this a short par 3 with a couple bunkers either side,the 14Th as LD this as a bunker in driving range (except for Stu Laws) and a thin fairway just after, again as previous matches they will be bonus points, We are all looking forward to the match none of our players are losing interest in this event as for the numbers in our team. Make sure you are all on your game i will post our team Friday night with there handicaps.
Good luck to both teams and see you Saturday.
Hear Hear, Ged, glad the
Hear Hear, Ged, glad the interest is there and i for one am looking forward to the challange again. do we get to pick ex-members of CGL to play for our side?
Alan i think we will end up
Alan i think we will end up the same after i posted the message this morning, and not 10 mins later i had a someone drop out
Is this the same format as we
Is this the same format as we had at Bondhay, White Tees, full handicaps?
john, should be full
john, should be full difference for singles matchplay. Could play 3/4 but doesn't that hinder the high handicappers ?
the club will only let us use
the club will only let us use yellows
Halewood team for Saturday, i
Halewood team for Saturday, i have chopped the team to 20 players, i will look at it again Friday afternoon.
We are now down to 19 so if Mario is ok going back to the enemy its 18 each good turn out from both teams
I've just noticed that you've
I've just noticed that you've got a Steve Martin on your team - it's a shame I can't make it, it would have been so confusing. Is his nickname "Scissors" by any chance?
Steve
We take Mario with pleasure,
We take Mario with pleasure, as he scored 36 points off 3/4 handicap for the CGL team at the charity event today, helping us beat everyone else in the comp. Golfshake Came 3rd, not sure who came second.
Ged, this is our team and
Ged, this is our team and handicaps etc
Are we looking at me and you in the first group and vice captains in the last group?
Also, is it a straight draw,
Also, is it a straight draw, or are you think of splitting the handicaps, so 0-14 & 14 to 28, as we do not want any of your team complaing again about having to play a better player like last time! Also, is the comment "100% against CGL" next to your name refering to being the losing Captain? Just woundered.......
Make it a straight draw, I
Make it a straight draw, I don't mind playing a high handicapper. If they are anything like Wayne, I will be in their head by the 3rd. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with Mr Big, straight
I agree with Mr Big, straight draw. Who you play is luck of the draw and you either give or receive shots, that's the way it goes.
I'd also include vice-captains in the free draw. I've been out last in both games now. Even at Bondhay, when it was a free draw apart from you and Ged Allan, I managed to draw myself out last with Splash Adams for company!
The Captains will go out in
The Captains will go out in the first group, with whoever they are drawed against, so me with someone and Ged with someone, the same for vice catains at the end if thats ok Flagpole?
You'll have me moaning as
You'll have me moaning as much as Mr Big when he realised he was out last at the GS Open if you're not careful! I would say there's no need to have the VCs out last, just draw them freely in the draw, but it's up to you.
One other thing: Ged "100% against CGL" Keeley. Is that a 100% losing record as captain?
Alan i agree with Martin and
Alan i agree with Martin and James a straight draw, Wayne had a moan at Mottram Hall but 1 out of 20 players having a winge wasn't bad after all we did get hammered that day, he was ok at Bondhay, and he has been given shit ever since that outburst and hopefully on Saturday your team will carry it on, If you take a look at our team i have updated it after the famous quote of "i am not expecting any of these to drop out" haha you taking Mario leaves me on 17 now but i will get another player for saturday.
Ged "100% against CGL "Keeley
Ged "100% against CGL "Keeley refers back to our previous matches as winning my match, also let the VC'S just go out in the draw just captains out first, also i need 2 players have asked to be moved up to the first couple of groups Michael Scotland and Alex Gill, are u ok with this
let me throw something in the
let me throw something in the mix. Maybe instead of a straight draw, both Captains write down their teams and playing order in an envelope and when we are there on saturday we open the envelopes and see who is playing against who.
A La Ryder Cup singles, it is Ryder Cup year after all.
p.s please "fix" it for me to be against Wayne. They did it for Nickalus v Barnes lol :-)
i like the sound of that mr
i like the sound of that mr big,will add a bit to the draw and ppl can get out in the early groups if they need to get off
Ok. If anyone taking part has
Ok. If anyone taking part has a preference, them PM me, rather than adding a post here, for obvious reasons!
even though i am not going to
even though i am not going to be there i do agree with what has been posted, teams wrote down on paper in playing order and then both read out at the time
adds a bit of exitement to it ;)
Haha Alan am sending a
Haha Alan am sending a message round now to see what my team say but am up for it. Alan put yourself any were on the list and then me and you will move up to the first group i will do the same with Michael Scotland and Alex Gill as i have told they need to go out in the first groups
I don't agree, but am not
I don't agree, but am not overly bothered. For me, on the previous two events the draw, with everyone stood around in the bar and banter flying as the draw was made, was one of the best bits.
The other problem with that is Ged has said he want us there for 10am with the first tee off at 11.40. If I'm, say, at place 17, why should I get there for 10am when I probably won't be teeing off until about 1.00?
Having said that though, I'll go with whatever you and Ged decide Allan.
Does that mean Mario's
Does that mean Mario's handicap is now in single figures?
I wouldn't have thought
I wouldn't have thought whatever draw format was used made any difference to the arrival time. If it's a free draw then you could be in either the 1st or last group so you need to be there to cover that eventuality. If the draw is as per Ryder Cup you still have no idea of the order of play as it is supposed to be a secret until the "envelope" is opened and so only the captains would know the order of play.
James the banter will still
James the banter will still be there as when we open the envolopes everyone will be there when there names are shouted out to see who they play
I tend to think "if it ain't
I tend to think "if it ain't broke don't fix it". It's worked really well the past two games, but it's up to you.
If you are going to do this why not put both captains a number 1 for a real shoot-off?
Malcolm, thanks for the information, I didn't realise neither of the players in the teams at the Ryder Cup knew what order they'd be playing in before it was officially announced.
I will play Alan if i am
I will play Alan if i am drawn against him, If any player in CGL wishes to try and take my 100% record than i will play anyone just make sure your in the right frame of mind, if we do it the envolope way the captains can use it to there advantage and play there players were they think is best
i agree it has worked well in
i agree it has worked well in the past, just wanted to put another point of view. If it causes any issue then ignore the comment and draw as we previously have
Adam has now been added
Adam has now been added back to our team so it makes it 18 a side fingers crossed no one else pulls out
If we have an open draw, i.e.
If we have an open draw, i.e. names out of the hat, it is not simple, as some people have indicated they need to get away early etc.
I have no intention of doing a draw, then moving pairings around to suit the tee off requirements, as its just loads of hassle i do not want before playing golf.
If Ged or someone else wants to bring a PC and do it, and the paperwork, then fine, go for it if Ged's in agreement.
Me, i just want to play a course i have never played before!
i think you should just match
i think you should just match up the nearest handicaps on both teams and draw lots as too order off going out ,with people who need or want to go out first given priority plus i think matching handicaps as close as gives a better game for all as a 24 handicapper feels over whelmed playing against a 6 or 8player and i dont think a 6 or 8 likes playing a 24 as it disrupts there play a little
I think everyone as an
I think everyone as an opinion on this, but i liked the way it worked before i don't care who i play or how many shots i give or take.
However, with it being in Scouseland, for me it's Ged's call!
not knowing if your giving or
not knowing if your giving or recieving shots is half the fun in my opinion.also if ppl have got to get off early then why not help them by picking YOUR order of players.but like john says everyone has an opinion,let the captains sort it
Stu's not bothered about
Stu's not bothered about giving or taking, thats for sure after Gainsbrough
all i know is he spent a lot
all i know is he spent a lot of time in the carpark
Cheers Neil & John, you're
Cheers Neil & John, you're right i'm not too bothered i just want to make sure i've won before the 18th.
Halewood Challange So with
Halewood Challange
So with 18 a side plus the two bonus points on offer, there will be twenty points up for grabs. So in true Ryder Cup style, we at CGL need to get to 10 points to retain the salver.
Speaking to Mario, there is not a driving range at the location, but one a couple of miles away.
Lets try and keep our record of being un-defeated in matchplay comps. So those taking part, play well and good luck.
There are a couplr of driving
There are a couplr of driving nets and a prctice area at frodsham the nearest driving area is at Sutton Hall
I am looking forward to see were both captains have put there players to see if they have gone for the points in the bag early or (like Stu Laws) taking it from behind
Good luck to CGL and especially John Spencer who has thrown down the gauntlet so extra pressure on him now
See you all in the morning
Thanks for the boost Ged,
Thanks for the boost Ged, should be a good game and a giggle.
I see Manchester United are playing Liverpool the next day, it could be a bad weekend for you Ged
Ged, we have had a drop out
Ged, we have had a drop out due to illness. Paul Sherwin can no longer play. Do you have anyone else standing by to join in, as we would be down to 17 (including Mario).
Alan has just informed me
Alan has just informed me that he has had 2 NP and 1 LD trophies made, so the 11th is now added to 9th as NP and 14th is LD That makes 3 bonus points up for grabs
Ged has informed me, that
Ged has informed me, that they have played the venue about 6 times recently in their league series! If they were not from Liverpool area, i would tell you to watch out for golfballs they have left behind on dodgy holes, so they can use them this time! But as they are from Liverpool area, i cannot see them leaving anything behind!
Prizes came to £100, but we
Prizes came to £100, but we have now got a couple of winners plaques left over due to drop outs (i ordered 19). So £2.80 each if thats ok.
Slight change to tee times,
Slight change to tee times, see the e-mail you will have received for details. e-mail sent so Halewood do not know the order or change etc.
Halewood Just like to say,
Halewood
Just like to say, good luck to all the team for Saturday, play well. If you cannot play well, get the banter in to put your opponent off his game. Mind you, going by "tigers" typing and admitting he is on the stella tonight, we could be a point down already!
I will be meeting Mario at the driving range at 9 am if you are interested. Its about 15 mins from the venue.
im wanerekrd :-)
im wanerekrd :-)
Crikey Allan, you're keen.
Crikey Allan, you're keen. I'll only just havce set off by then!
Meeting Mario at 9, will mean
Meeting Mario at 9, will mean i will have understood what he is saying by 09:30, and start on the range at 10am. Probably heard about 50 swear words by 10:30, then lose him on the way to the golf course and arrive late!
I`ll be on the range at 9:00,
I`ll be on the range at 9:00, when you turn at T-junction left at traffic lights you will follow the road for about 600yds and you`ll see Sutton Hall golf club signposted (right), don`t turn there, keep going through village another 400yds and it`s signposted Golf Range at the end of village, sloww down a bit so you don`t miss it. And no swearing at the range.
oh dear, your f**ked then
oh dear, your f**ked then Mario :-)
Cheers Mario, hope you are
