Fantasy 606v2 fourball

First topic message reminder :

It's been a bit serious and humourless on here lately, so thought I'd try and help return the forum to it's normal jovial self. So..........

Pick your fourball from the regulars on here.

It was self-deprecation on my part.

Myrtle Beach was intended to be a one-off to try the place, tick it off my list and move on somewhere else.

"Unfortunately", we've had such good times there that the "one off" event has now happened three years in a row and there is a strong chance it will happen again next year.

If it does, yes would love to meet up for a game or two and I'm sure that with enough persuassion and notice, we could get kwini along too

d4s,
Friend of mine just returned from a five day, nine round trip to MB!

You don't want my company down there on the course unless it's driving the drinks cart - sure you'd prefer something a little lovelier there though.
But my drinking is still at its normal high standard even though my golf has deteriorated sharply.

Can't wait until 2020 when I can legally buy a beer!

It really is a good thing, on non years I celebrate on 28th Feb with the obvious logic that it is a day earlier and in the same month.
Nobody forgets your birthday
Every fourth year is a bonanza.

Mind you in days gone by, on 'non' years days it took pretty good timimg for Dame Doon to give me my special birthday treat. [12 dongs of the clock.]

Doon

if you celebrate on the 28th and it's not very good, you an always have another go on the 1st

I think 28 holes of golf is enough for any man.

Doon,
You won't be able to enjoy a slurp in the US until 2032. And then you'll be carded.

D4S sounds great. Let me know when you're planning to come over again and I'll try and sort something out.

I don't think there's anyone on these boards I wouldn't enjoy a round with. I've already enjoyed the company of D4S, Doon the Water and Noshankingtonight. Feels like ive met a lot more but that's probably because I've also met a few of D4Ss buddies and Doon Daughter and his mate Deadly Derek.

Looking forward to hopefully meeting a few more next year. I have plenty of scope due to my location, singleton status and the fact that I have family in Ayrshire that I do visit on occasion. As many of you also know I have a tendency for travel especially to the states and would love to meet any of the US contingent for a game....long shot...Kwini, Shotrock...Pasatiempo 5 weeks today, Spyglass Hill 5 weeks tomorrow if you're interested!! I've the got the 4bbb tournament at PB that weekend before flying down to Cabo for a week over Xmas.

I wonder how many people would change their choices if Westwood and McIlroy had made the transition over to 606v2...

at Castle Stuart. [Chewin the Fat aboot Golf, Scotland an Whisky.]

Pity on the match that holds us up!

Twould be 'a honour and a privilege' Doon. However, as much as I love Castle Stuart, why don't we take your jet and fly to Florida for a game instead?

JPX can carry my clubs and I would remind him of the caddie mantra to "turn up, keep up and shut up"!

"I wonder how many people would change their choices if Westwood and McIlroy had made the transition over to 606v2..."


I wouldn't as I think the people of 606v2 seem a lot more interesting than both of them.

To be honest if either of them even came over to chat to me when I was at the range and try to offer a bit of advice Id say shove it Fats and Coco, mind your own beeswax. I would however ask Westy first if he thinks he'll ever win a major....

diggers, would you have the guts to ask westwood if he has noticed his resemblance to a person with downs syndrome?

McLaren wrote:diggers, would you have the guts to ask westwood if he has noticed his resemblance to a person with downs syndrome?

So mac your against racism but happily make a flippant comment to someone with a disability

Apparently so.

McLaren wrote:Apparently so.

There's those double standards again, personally I find it quite offensive to make remarks about those with downs syndrome especially having seen it affect someone in my family, but knock yourself out Mac, just don't come all high and mighty next time someone disagrees with you regarding age, race, sex discrimantion etc.

Re: Westwood and MciLroy, would love a round with Lee, but Rory you can keep that one, rather play with myself literally

McLaren wrote:Apparently so.

Mac, you do realise that you or anyone you know could become disabled instantly due to an accident or a undiagnosed health condition don't you?

McLaren isnt the only one with double standards it seems.

This McLaren, Super and Mav threesome thing is becoming a real bore on this forum.

What double standards? Neither Mav or I have said anything racist, or that racism should be tolerated.

Ok, so how exactly did my comment imply any negative connotations about anyone?

Anyway, no harm was meant and I apologise to those who may have been upset by it.

Care to elaborate on my double standards happy to address the issue,

No but Mac says something a bit controversial and suddenly the shoes on the other liberial foot with you two.

Lairdy wrote:No but Mac says something a bit controversial and suddenly the shoes on the other liberial foot with you two.

Not at all, if you looked back over the Race thread which I'm not going to keep addressing, you'll see that I said I do not condone racism, but could also see how Williams comments may have been meant differently,

The issue I took with Mac over his Downs comment is that he took my remarks about race out of context and sensationalised them like with SR's as though we condoned racism in private which we didn't and he felt it right to pick me up on that so i've just done one and the same thing and expressed my dislike of his comment regarding someone with a disability they were born with and does directly affect my family.

Thats not having the prverbial shoe on the other foot it's firmly in the same place and just expressing as Mac did my dislike for a flippant comment.

I wouldn't read too much into Mac's comment, we all know how he likes to provoke a bit of lively debate with an outrageous comment

Mav

I can only hope you can accept my apology and I can assure you no insult was meant. It is a joke I have heard a few times that I did not think was meant to degrade those who have Down syndrome but rather just an observation about lee’s facial features. Again I am sorry and hope this does not leave you with a poor impression of my thoughts on the subject.

No worries Mac, as I say wasn't a case of me having the shoe on the other foot, just when something directly affects you, it does tend to make tolerance levels of flippant remarks a bit lower. But appreciate the sentiment offered mate

Mav I get what you say but honeslty very few folk on here will follow word for word every single debate you 3 get in to. I understand all the stances on the previous argument and in this latest case its a comment by Mac himself but there are similarities here and based on the usual 'stances' I thought it was a bit hypocritical. Nothing criminal in that I suppose but these constant tos and fros between the 3 of you are honestly becoming a sad state of affairs for the 3 of you and the forum I feel. Just my opinion.

Sorry if you think me taking offence to a remark that does affect me personally is hypocritical but fact is it affects me directly and therefore it offends I offer no apology for that.

With reagrds to the to's and fro's see them for what they are healthy debate and in many instances laced with an undercurrant of satire from all parties, and between the 3 of us there is no hard feeling I can assure you in fact i'm hoping when I'm touring rounda bit next year the 3 of us can have a round together. As for the forum well again between the 3 of us we get some good debate so imo thats healthy. Last Im saying on it thogh as it's getting boring

Lairdy

You have no idea the shame I feel right now after that little talk you just gave, all of it true by the way. I sort of accpeted I was a saddo long ago but I will try to stop it impacting others.

No need for shame Mac its all in a good days fun and some master debating from us all :whitle:

Anyways next may time looking at being up in the cold lands that is scotland, if you fancy a round as long as we don't discuss doaks un-finer points

Mac, the hyprocritical bit wasn't just all for you know. Whilst your comment hit a Mav on a personal note, I half expected you to argue how it could be construed as offensive based on some of the arguments about recent events on here. You had more class than that so well done.
Anyway I'm probably being hypocritical in adding anything further.

You're on, as long as there's none of this "accidentally" hitting it into the trees

Then again, I could get another tick on my list!

Guys, get your best suits into the cleaners, 606's first wedding could be on the cards!!

Sorry to dissappoint you (and gael) but there ain't no way I'm getting married! A few of my mates have scored own goals on that front. Why limit myself to one women when I have the whole world to choose from?

Jpx

Would limiting yourself to one not be an improvement on wearing your palm down to the bone? Just guessing your general tone and eloquence does not land many a lady.

I'm guessing promises of course architecture tours, lectures and books, and hickory club sales rooms doesn't land many either Mac?

Super

No probably not, it doesn't even land friends on a golf forum.

The ladies love a bad boy mac, especially the bored married ones.

i will have to take your word for it JPX. So how exactly do you give the of the impression of being a "bad boy"?

No kilts for a start mac!

Mac

Brilliant stuff, you are the ultimate WUM but you do it in such a subtle way.

Cracks me up every time

So the ladies love bored married bad boys! Darnit that's where I've been going wrong.

I have met and enjoyed the company of D4S, Oldshanker, JAS, Smithersjones, The Ringer and LJ, but the match I would absolutely love to attend, as 'on-course referee' would absolutely most defintely be a Norf v Sarf affair and in the Blue (and White) corner would be the pairing of Mac and Super versus in the Red corner the pairing of Mercurio and Diggers. I would actually not only give up my day to watch this match but would even buy the first round after. The entertainment would just be that good......

Doon
A 4ball with you and Gael on any course would be a pleasure, I will supply the hip flask, full of Grand Old Parr, and we can verbally kick Trumps backside and put the world to right
