Signing in for the Northerners with my flat cap on and pint of proper ale. *waves* at the southern shandy drinkers. Great idea. Just hope the games can all be arranged/played over a shortish time frame though. Posted by MAXALLY
Yes, shouldn't take long, I have a "cunning" plan! :=)
Can I go on the reserve list for the South please? I'm happier for the competitors to run in this instead of me but if short of players I'll give it a go.

If there's space then I'll happily join in - but don't want to take anyone elses seat
I've just been working on the scoring spreadsheet. It will look something like this for "FOURSOMES" and something similar for "FOURBALLS" and "SINGLES:
I think this year, with it being "a new idea", I will generate the pairings and fixtures randomly. Whilst it would be great fun to have the captains pick the pairings, I fear it would significantly delay the whole process. Also, if a player is unavailable for some reason, then the relevant team can pick a reserve to play instead. Hopefully this will reduce the chance of a bottle neck.
The foursomes matches can be played in any order. In an ideal world the two games in each match would be played concurrently, but we may have to compromise here as getting four players all to agree a time and date may be a bit tricky.
We are a bit short of players coming forward for this, which is understandable as we have already had so much support for the previous initiatives.
So perhaps, we can do this as a "trial" this year with just 6 players in each team.
I am also aware that all those that have volunteered so far, have already contributed a lot to the charities, so I propose we do it just for fun this year, with no entry fee.
So this means we need one more "volunteer" from the North and two more from the South.
