GAME ON, LIMP needs 2 games for a NORTH win, MISTY needs 2 games for a half, or all 3 for a SOUTH win.

Enjoyed it too MattP.... well played and a fair result I'd say

StayOrGo

Well, after a severe beating by my son, it all goes down to the last match.

With the South leading 6-5. Our Rose needs a half to bring the spoils South of Watford, whilst MAXALLY needs the win to make honours even.

GL Rosie! (YOU too Max, well a little bit)

P.S. Opening Post updated with standings going into the last match.

I can say it on here but not on the rail as it kills me.

COME ON THE NORTH, COME ON MAXALLY. BRING IT HOME

MAXALLY

WOW...well done North on a great comeback.

5.30pm any good for you Rose? Post if ok and if you want to sit. I have no games on now.

No pressure then...lol. Never won a hand verse 'lucky' Irishrose, so a match will be a miracle  

Good luck!

5.30pm sounds great please.  You've won more hands against me than I have against you!!!

I'll reg at 5.30pm on the £1.05 speed HU games.

I thought I was promised NO PRESSURE lol - didn't realise the last matches would be down to the wire!

MAXALLY

Just like to post my thanks up to Graham for organising all this. With only 6 (plus subs) players, it should have been easier than it has to sort but he has done a great job under stress at times.

Thanks to both the captains for helping out too and all the players who have played this comp in great spirit and banter.

See you all at the 19th hole for a drink to celebrate, cheers all.

Thanks for this MAX. I'd be lying if I said it's been easy and without some stress, but hopefully, on balance, it was worth it and fun for everyone.

I'd like to thank Misty and DarkAngel for all their arranging and support for the players. You two are simply the most supportive and encouraging people around, and I couldn't think of anyone who would have done a better job.

If you have not been put off by this trial, I would love you both to be Captains again next year, Where hopefully we do it for charity, with the money raised going to charities chosen by the two Captains.

If we run this again next year, we at least would benefit from lessons learned this time around.

Enjoy the finale.

May the best girl win!

StayOrGo

Wow, great game MAX and ROSE.

I will do a write up later tonight.

Thanks to all who have participated.

The opening post has been updated with the FINAL SCORE!

Cheers,

Epic last game v Rose who brought the trophy home for the South with a half in the last match...well played Rose and all of the South players on the victory.

FTR....the NORTH won the singles matches 3 1/2 - 2 1/2

Yeh, but the Ryder Cup is a TEAM game.

Seriously, thanks to all who took part for the spirit in which the matches were played.

Great effort at the end there MAX, VUL not to peg it back for the North!

I thought Donald and little G did a great job getting the North back in it, whilst Monkey and Rose did outstanding in the singles under MAX pressure. (Get it MAX pressure lol)

OK, enough wise cracks from me, back to the Sunday grind :=)

Darkangel7

Well played everyone and Well done to the south.

Very stressful at times but enjoyable. Think a lot can be and was learned from doing this. Hopefully it will run more smoothly next year with people wanting to pledge for charity. It was great I enjoyed it. Hope to see it rolled out again next year.

Would be an honour to captain the North again next time. Thank you for asking. Also thanks to Misty for being the captain for the south, (traitor ) lol xx

Run golden everyone

Many thanks Mist, you have been an outstanding captain, as has Donna.

I think next year, we should take MAX's idea and do it all in a weekend.

Players would need to guarantee their availability to their captains for at least a two hour slot between 1pm and 6pm Saturday and Sunday.

Ideally we will have 8 players in each team for the captains to choose from, but still just play the 12 matches, so we'd have plenty of leighway if people become unavailable.

The captains can go scouting for players approx two weeks before it starts.

What do you think?

Cheers,

G

FeelGroggy

Really good initiative and hope it runs again. Before you suggested bringing in a couple of omaha and omaha hi lo which i think would provide good diversity. Definitely agree with the idea of having a vouple of reserves. Was a close contest but well done south on the victory but we'll be back.                 The North remembers.

ajmilton

This was a great idea for a comp, Graham.

Thank you for running it, it was great fun to be part of. 

Well played all who took part

Big thanks to Donna, done a great job as Captain for the north.

oh ok, and Misty for the south.

Regards Alan (still the plo8 champ)

PS. I hate Monkeys

Many Thanks once again Graham.

Yes definitely think its a good idea to play it all in a weekend, very much like the Ryder Cup.

The excitement of today was helped by the matches being played pretty much one after the other. Looking forward to it already.

A certain Boomtown Rats song springs to mind for Aj......

" I Don't Like Monkey's"

Darkangel7

Deffo agree with over in one weekend. That's a lot less stressful than chasing everyone up and getting on their backs lol (sorry guys) also have a list on the first page of the teams and the reserves so everyone knows what's going on and for everyone in the teams to check on the page and post. Also think would be a good idea if the reserves managed to get a game too.
