It has been decided by last years captains that a tradition shall start of "passing on the armband" to a new captain, selected by the previous years captain (don't worry future Confederate captain, you will get a new armband, not my puked on one from last year! :smt078).

Let the war begin (again!).

[Dotty]

Go Yoss!

[WBennett]

OK Boys, you know what to do.

#confederatetilidie

[Captain Nemo]

Cash on?

[PeteyD]

Four score and seven years ago ...

[LeftyHoges]

Four score and seven years ago ...

The union knew they were beaten, and still do, to this very day.

[sms316]

Go Yoss! Go William Tecumseh Sherman!

[Peppas]

So how does this work???

[LeftyHoges]

So how does this work???

You'll be paired with a fellow Unionist. You'll play with him / her in a 4B matchplay against two Confederates, while also playing a singles matchplay against one of the other confederates. So 3 points are available from each 4 person group on the course. Most points wins. There's also an individual prize (and maybe a gross prize) for the day.

Do we get muskets?

[Courty]

So how does this work??? We eye each other off on the practice green, then proceed to taunt each other all the way around the course. And somewhere in between some golf is played (poorly).

This makes more sense :)

[WBennett]

Its just like the Presidents Cup. But better

[AndyP]

Any chance of a venue change for this prestigious event? I've heard that this course is boring.

Can I play someone with an honest handicap this year?

[andigold]

I've gone out 2 shots since last year Andy, means I'd win 2&1 :)

[LarryLong]

So how does this work???

If I remember rightly, we all play crap golf, and the Union team loses.

#confediratetilidie

[PeteyD]

This year will be different! Except the crap golf bit

[WBennett]

Boys and Mrs RS

The fact that we are playing matchplay at Royal Melbourne excites me no end. We would have traveled from 5 states and Territories to attend (so we have anyone from SA coming?). This is a BIG DEAL.

We'd be lucky to have a dozen blokes who have played there before - the rest will be like me absolutely shaking like a leaf as I walk to the first tee, full of nerves and excitement, knowing you are not just playing the #1 course in Australia, but playing in one of THE great days in the Australian golfing calendar. We all watched the World Cup and Presidents Cup over the last few years and dreamt of short siding ourselves knowing that our bunker shot is a 1% chance of staying on the green.

I am excite

[LarryLong]

Can we make Grumpy play and match him up against benno?

[Shortylook]

Wow sounds awesome, have fun lads
Ps go WAnkers

[AndyP]

Can we make Grumpy play and match him up against benno?
:mrgreen:

[Monsta]

So how does this work???

You show up, you get beaten like a dog by a Confederate, you sulk, you cry, you dribble in your beer...................

Easy

#confederatetillidie

[Peppas]

So the confederates like the hashtags?

[PeteyD]

Yep, they are the best twitter golf team in the universe. Fall to pieces on the course though!

[Monsta]

So the confederates like the hashtags?

Only the following

#confederatetillidie
or
#dieunionscumdie

[Monsta]

Yep, they are the best twitter golf team in the universe. Fall to pieces on the course though!

Funny, I think the Confederates were victorious last year????? Makes the Union scum pretty bad if we fall to pieces and still win..........:shock:

[PeteyD]

Winning the first skirmish does not win the war. A few scouts having a go at each other does not count.

Bringing the Artillery this year, die Confederate scumbuckets.

[dan]

What's the cost?

[Monsta]

What's the cost?

The cost of a few Union scum lives is something all Confederates are willing to pay.............

[PeteyD]

What's the cost?

Look for the vic Champs thread.

[LeftyHoges]

Golf will probably be the big winner on the day :)

Royal Melbourne will be the big winner on the day, after it beats the piss out of 32 "golfers".

Might as well just put the result up now for the day...
1 - RM West
2 - Everyone else

[Monsta]

Being the sadists that we are, we will all enjoy a good beating (or at least I know I will)

[WBennett]

[PeteyD]

Are we playing Quidditch?

[LeftyHoges]

OK, so now that I've got rid of all the ??? people, there are officially 3 spots left for the RM Uncivil War day. Any takers?

[Marto65]

I'm gonna play to my handicap. ( sorry, should be in the drunk thread.).

[AndyP]

Is this being played off the back markers like Royal Pines? If so, I'm going to spew.

[Peppas]

How'd you make the teams up anyways?

[3Puttpete]

Is this being played off the back markers like Royal Pines? If so, I'm going to spew.

You worried not all the par 3s will be driveable?

[LeftyHoges]

Is this being played off the back markers like Royal Pines? If so, I'm going to spew.

Even the Composite track is only 6340m off the tips. You've got nothing to worry about with length Andy. The West course is 6033m from the plates.


How'd you make the teams up anyways?

Basically last year it was QLD as the Northern state V VIC, ACT and Tas as the Southern. It just worked out really well.

This year will essentially be the Northern states of QLD and NSW vs the Southern States of VIC, ACT, TAS and WA.

[AndyP]

Even the Composite track is only 6340m off the tips. You've got nothing to worry about with length Andy. The West course is 6033m from the plates.

Total length isn't my concern. If the hazards are out of range off the tee like Royal Pines, it will be a borefest.

[Shadesy]

Driving areas are actually fairly wide and innocuous. It's about position on the fairways as you just cannot miss around the greens.

[LeftyHoges]

Driving areas are actually fairly wide and innocuous. It's about position on the fairways as you just cannot miss around the greens.

This.

Most fairways are 30m wide. But you want to be in the ideal 5m. Otherwise your job just got 100% harder.

[PeteyD]

This xmas my family did an opshop secret santa. I got a book called Australia's Greatest Golf Courses or somesuch from 1990.

Reading about RMWest, and woodlands etc it seems that accuracy is vital. Not sure if the courses remain the same as 1990 (i know RQ has changed significantly) but it does make for an interesting week away. Woodlands comments about tiny greens that missing is death, and the course record being 68 is kinda scary.

[LarryLong]

I think this will suit me - I have a terrible short game in favourable circumstances, so I probably won't drop any more shots than I usually do.

[WBennett]

I found the same at Kingston Heath. There are places to miss and places you just cant go!

[Monsta]

Most fairways are 30m wide. But you want to be in the ideal 5m. Otherwise your job just got 100% harder.

Ideal 5m??????? Im lucky just to hit the fairway, let alone the ideal 5m section.

Sounds like my job is going to be 1000000000% harder

[WBennett]

Monsta, you should just hit 3 iron off most tees and be in the right position rather than blast driver into the next suburb

Where's the fun in that Spud?????

Think of the Uncivil War. Its not about the fun. Its bigger than that

Sorry Spud, what was I thinking....

Death to the Union Scum Infidels

[LeftyHoges]

Woodlands comments about tiny greens that missing is death, and the course record being 68 is kinda scary.

Read about Woodlands 4th. Epitomises this. Only 260m long but the green is raised, tiny and just enough slope to scare the shit out of anyone.

Can't imagine these two courses would've changed a hell of a lot over this time. I played Woodlands in 1998 and it's basically the same as it is now.


Ideal 5m??????? Im lucky just to hit the fairway, let alone the ideal 5m section.

Sounds like my job is going to be 1000000000% harder

Doing up my course guide for you all I quickly realised that every hole started with the description "Make sure you're on the (appropriate) side of fairway to allow for the best / any angle in."

:lol:

Keep it in play, work on your short game for the next 40-odd days is about all I can say!

P.S.
Stay tuned for the announcement of incumbent Captains and Vice-Captains in 1 hours time!

[LeftyHoges]

The bugle plays Reveille...

Here ye, here ye!

The Southern Confederacy has great delight in appointing General andigold to be it's leader and captain in the 2014 Uncivil War.

*Applause and hoorahs*

[Courty]

Standing on the opposite side of the trenches, scowls on their faces, chewing tobacco dribbling down their chins, the Union battle lines part to reveal their newly promoted Captain...









PeteyD!

[WBennett]

Hoorah for Andigold. A brilliant leader and one who will recount the inevitable victory with suitable embellishment for many years to come.

#confederatetilidie

[LeftyHoges]

The Confederacy (or Union for that matter! :mrgreen:) has not seen a soldier with such passion, heart, loyalty, dedication and skill for building trophies as our newly promoted Vice Captain.

21 gun salute to Colonel monsta65!

Sh*t, hope this doesnt mean I have to do anything, I will be too busy concentrating on the what 5m of the fairway I am supposed to be aiming for.............

[Courty]

The Union troops see your VC and laughter breaks out through the ranks at his shoelaces matching his combat greys. :lol:

Sudden silence falls across the battlefield as the sun is blocked out by a large winged shadow. The shadow swoops down and lands in front of the Union lines. Resplendent in his navy uniform, Solarman presents himself for duty on his winged unicorn!

Cheers from the Union hit fever pitch, and this shit is on like Donkey Kong!

[FoxGolf]

Looking forward to reporting for duty Captain Andigold.

[Shadesy]

The Western Front will travel long distances to join our confederate brothers in battle.

[Marto65]

Congrats to peteyd and Solarman. You blokes will do a sensational job.

[Monsta]

The Western Front will travel long distances to join our confederate brothers in battle.

We welcome our western brothers in arms,

Induction will involve learning the following phrases (southern accent not required, but always welcomed)

"Die Union Scum !!"
"PeteyD lost by how many???"
"Where is Solarman?"
"Why are the Union scum crying again?"

[LeftyHoges]

"Why are the Union scum crying again?"

Ha ha. At first glance I read this as "Why are the Unicorn scum crying again?"

[Marto65]

Ha ha. At first glance I read this as "Why are the Unicorn scum crying again?" did you say unicorn scrum?

[PeteyD]

He has a thing for single horns.

[solarman]

The only horn playing will be the big bullhorn that sounds at the end of the day when the Greys lay down their clubs and bow down to the Men from the North.

[Dotty]

Is that a picture from F-Troop in Courty's avatar?

[simmsy]

Ok 2014 is now here and I can let myself get a little excited about this day. On the back of my stunning victory in the WA Champs match play I'm on a roll and ready to shoot down some union scum. Bring it on.

You beat a guy who averaged 5.4 shots per bunker, and that's taking into account all the holes he conceded whilst stuck in a bunker!

[Peppas]

I achieved my golf goal for the year already so I have to get a new one.

[Shadesy]

There is some serious Nullarbor Cup losing stench to that Confederate side.

Ask DC...

I'm on board just for my sledging.

[WBennett]

There is some serious Nullarbor Cup losing stench to that Confederate side. Really. Nully cup was like comparing the walker cup to the Ryder Cup

[simmsy]

Hey hey hey.
Just letting u know where it all started.
All Ozgolfers should remember their history.
;)

[WBennett]

The ACT Vs NSW Challenges started in around 2008 or so...

;)

[Marto65]

The ACT Vs NSW Challenges started in around 2008 or so...

;) That's a bit insular, isn't it?

[Peppas]

Does it matter that the Union is 2 men down vs the Confederate numbers??? Or can we have our captains go around twice? :)

[Monsta]

Just to let everyone know, I am handmaking daily trophies for all of the 5 days of the Vic Champs

With Friday being at RM and such a special day, I have spent extra time creating a piece that hopefully anyone would be proud to recieve......

Ohhh by the way, if a Union scumbag wins the day, this is what they get


27888The good one is if a Confederate wins :mrgreen:

[LeftyHoges]

Does it matter that the Union is 2 men down vs the Confederate numbers??? Or can we have our captains go around twice? :)

Still just a preliminary list as entries haven't been finalised. If I need to I'll find a confederate that wants to defect or has ties to the Union somehow.

Some poor bastard will be put at gun point to make the move that no one wants to make. ;)

Essentially, yes. I didn't want to use those words though.

Well, you never know, there might actually be one poor misguided fool who thinks the Union have a shot at winning this.

[graham_w]

If i were you i'd make the jump now. So you don't look like a dirty rat jumping ship closer to the time.

That'd be one hell of a defection. Last years winning captain goes to the other side!

It'll never happen.

Anyone that is a Confederate from last year would rather die than become union scum, it will have to be one of the newbies..........

Last chance to move to the winning side confederate scumbuckets

Congrats Simmsy, finally a WAnker won and retained a WA event within the State.

Looking forward to the NCIII MP

[simmsy]

You coming back west later this year then. Good to see.

[sms316]

You coming back west later this year then. Good to see. Won't that be NC IV? Very disappoint there isn't a NC III thread going on already. Is it still on in Victoria?

[simmsy]

The Vic Champs is about the Confederates v the scumbags.

NC has its place but due to team make up in Vic it's not really possible.

[PeteyD]

BillyBaub moved from up here to Melbourne not that long ago. Might be an option to even the teams up.

[solarman]

Is it true that at the champs the confederates spoon each other in late night bonding sessions?
And apparently tongue kissing each other is an acceptable form of deciding who tees off first in their pairings.

[Monsta]

If projecting your homo-erotic fantasies on your opposition works for you Solarman, you go right ahead.........
:mrgreen:

But there is no way I am bending over in front of you, I knew you Union boys were strange but thats just wrong............:shock:

[Shadesy]

BillyBaub moved from up here to Melbourne not that long ago. Might be an option to even the teams up.

That works quite well for me should it need to be.

That's right. We like to keep our lovely ladies in pillowy softness. Our expertise in battle allows us to purchase the finest pillows that Europe has to offer.

[PeteyD]

That is your VC cowering in Fort Pillow after being reminded of the 6/5 drubbing handed out to him by the mighty union in the scouting party skirmish.

[LeftyHoges]

That is your VC cowering in Fort Pillow.

If monsta looked like that everyone would want to be his 4B partner.

[PeteyD]

Simmsy is hoping.

[LeftyHoges]

I've managed to get a spy into the Union camp.

Word is they are very happy with how their uniform preparation is going...

27959

[Marto65]

Shouldn't that have been Fort Pillow Biters?

[Peppas]

So the big event, it's 2 confed vs 2 union in a group. How is this bad boy scored?

[PeteyD]

Stableford. Head to head and a Best Ball, so 3 points available in every group.

[Monsta]

Dont forget the Captains choice mystery fireball as well.

[PeteyD]

Yea but that has little to do with the groupings on the day.

[Peppas]

Sweet when are groupings announced? :)

[PeteyD]

When me and the great sugar baby king get together and sort them out.

[Waddzy]

What is the mystery fireball? Double points or something?

[PeteyD]

Nah captains nominate 1 person from the other side (I think) to complete a mystery fireball against the other as a tiebreaker if needed. So obviously I will be picking 6/5 as he will be true to form.

[WBennett]

Single point. One player from each team. Nominated by their OPPONENTS captain. Its the Vote of Unconfidence, and you won't know we will choose Solarman til after the round.

[Peppas]

Who's 6/5?

I'm tipping the Union VC to have a big game at RM :)

[PeteyD]

Muppet65 was rolled last year 6/5, hence he is now called 6/5.

[Monsta]

Muppet65 was rolled last year 6/5, hence he is now called 6/5.

Different story this year Union Scum

Wont be leaving home at 02:30 (stupid oclock) to drive all the way to Melbourne to walk straight on the course.

I will be rested and fresh, ready to do battle and tear my opponent to pieces.......
No mercy shall be shown:evil:

[PeteyD]

8/7 handshakes on 11?

[Monsta]

8/7 handshakes on 11?

Yep, as I said no mercy

Ohhh you were implying that I would be on the losing side of that??? Dont thinks so Scum of the North, especially if it turns out that Vc plays VC

[PeteyD]

True that, Solarman would win 9/8 ;)

[Monsta]

True that, Solarman would win 9/8 ;)

Only if there were no bunkers :mrgreen:

[solarman]

Pretty bad how 6/5 keeps wanting to play the patsy of the North. Is he scared of matching up with anyone else? Is he a bully?

If the bedwetter 6/5 were to loose to Solar-awesome then I wonder how he will overcome the embarrassment.

[solarman]

Having said that, I am off to the beach with my SW :)

I have no problems playing against anyone from the North, if its Patsyman I just know that I can drink copious amounts of alcohol and still not have to worry

PS give me your lunch money

[LeftyHoges]

Unfortunately IDgolfguy is no longer able to make the trek across from the west so we still have 2 spots left open for RM. The spots are still available only to OZgolfers but will be opened up to others on Monday unless I hear otherwise (even an EOI will do). Final chance guys!

Hocko, get your arse into gear and make the trip!

Alas you are wrong sucker (all day sucker!).

And I hope count shots better than you count people.

I hope your counting is better than your grammar. ;)

I want Kev to be my biatch if I can make it :-)

[PeteyD]

I hope your counting is better than your grammar. ;)

Typing doofus, typing.

[simmsy]

Typing is pressing keys on a keyboard/typewriter.

Grammar is something you're unfamiliar with.

[Shadesy]

People actually want to join the union?

Wow. Have they heard who is captain and vice captain? Or are you guys (t-girls) keeping that a secret.

I guess if they want to be humiliated and ridiculed, more the merrier.

[Monsta]

Guys and Gals (including PeteyD and Patsyman)

Please make sure that you PM your shirt size to the appropriate organiser. Courty for the Union scum and myself for the Glorious Confederates.

We need the sizes ASAP so that the shirts can be organised, any questions, please do not hesitate to ask

Better tell Courty to get "victors" embroided on ours at the same time?

That's the old Benno.
Now with new irons, the laser and a generous handicap, you should romp it in.
Oh wait. Two out of three ain't bad.

ps. Peppas is also lighter than TG01.

[LeftyHoges]

Dreaming big time of only your second potential MP win OMS?

Second in a row!

[Ned]

Second in a row! Maybe Bunny Boi.

[LeftyHoges]

[Monsta]

Have spoken to the staff of RM this morning and already apologised for the amount of Union blood that will be spread over the fairways.

The ground staff have asked for a mix of blood and bone, so expect no mercy at all Union Scum, when you are down, we will lay in the Confederate boots......

[Peppas]

ps. Peppas is also lighter than TG01.

What does that mean?????

[Dotty]

What does that mean?????
In case he has to carry you in the better ball.

Simmsy will put up a better fight than AnfieldRed.

An ex-golfer from ACT.

After being beaten by Grunt for the second time, he came out with the classic quote 'Is ACT the worse state or what? We need to play Antarctica to have a chance.'

So... who are you picking, Confeds or the Union???

[KristianJ]

For the sake of the Union I hope that Pep and AP are only lightweights in terms of combined body mass.

pmsl. Once again, when the chips are down the confeds go missing. I think they're still trying to work out how to create a meme. :mrgreen:

[Dotty]

Union.

I'll be thrown out of the state, if I barrack for Victorians.

[Monsta]

Dear Marto65

While I find your meme's slightly amusing, if you wish to cast dispersions against my fellow brothers in arms, I feel that you may need to do what your team couldnt do last year and LIFT YOUR GAME !!!

We are tough skinned, mentally prepared and up to any challenge (or lack there of) that the Union Scum can present.

[3Puttpete]

You should of said aspersions

[Monsta]

Can anyone of the locals that have played at the hallowed turf that is RM, please advise if PeteyD will damage any of his fingernails whilst attempting to play golf?

He is planning to have his nails done again on the Thursday and I would hate for them to be ruined....

Group One
wbennett ($2.20) v AndyP ($1.65).
OZgolf’s favourite spud has been, dare I say it, on fire over the past couple of months and the result has been a serious handicap plummet. It’s hard to see him getting past the beige one on a course that is all about preparation.

Simmsy (write your own ticket) v Peppas ($1.01).
Simmsy has had his victory for the decade. Lightning doesn’t strike twice.

Group Two
Spanner039 ($2.50) v Marto65 ($1.50).
The ultra competitive SAF founding father will be exceptionally hard to beat. The only thing standing in his way will be the RM fashion police.

LarryLong ($2.60) v NK ($1.40).
LarryLong? More like LarrySoLong. Do they sell Johnnie Walker & Cola cans at RM?

Group Three
Bruce ($1.90) v Haysey ($2.05)
Bruce is a highly underrated performer in the matchplay format, whereas Haysey’s unorthodox swing resembles an octopus falling out of a tree.

Shadesy ($1.30) v Hux ($3.00).
Hux has next to no bloody chance against the greatest handicap farmer west of the Nullarbor.

Group Four
BenM ($1.95) v shazza_rs ($1.95).
Very hard to split this one. The Tasmanian jingler may be suited to matchplay, but let’s be honest here, shazza enjoys a fight.

GK ($1.80) v Gammon ($2.10).
OK – I haven’t got the faintest ****ing clue who Gammon is. So only the foolhardy would back Gammon (sometimes I crack myself up). GK may be the worst bunker player the world has ever seen, but sandbelt bunkers are exceptionally user friendly.

Group 5
FoxGolf ($2.00) v Nudgee ($1.85).
The Wanker versus the shitter. I’m not sure that tea tree will be overly suited to Nudgee’s style of play from the forest, but his overall game should get him home.

BillyBaub ($1.95) v Waddzy ($1.95)
Interesting contest this one. Waddzy has dropped a lot of shots over the last year and I suspect that RM could possibly be his undoing.

Group Six
Hocko ($4.00) v Titleist ($1.25).
Hocko’s extreme deceleration putting style sucks balls at the best of times, and playing at RM will be the stuff of a horror movie. I’ve never forgiven Titleist for trying to pork my mother after the Melbourne Cup but he has to be favoured in this match.

Kev ($1.75) v Courty ($2.25).
Courty will probably be brought undone by the RM locker room and the abundance of mirrors.

Group Seven
Jmac ($1.80) v Grumpy ($2.20).
Who in the blue hell is Jmac? This match revolves around which side of the bed Grumpy gets out of. Who shells out a couple of hunge for this shit?

LeftyHoges ($2.10) v Peter_rs ($1.85).
If this match was being played off anchors this would be too tight to call.

Group Eight
Monsta65 ($1.95) v Solarman ($1.95).
Seriously, who made these two drongos vice captains? Have you lot got no self respect? This match may end in a nil-all draw.

Andigold ($1.80) v PeteyD ($2.20)
Andigold has a massive advantage in that he is a seasoned sandbelt performer. And apart from that, he can fight. Seriously PeteyD, if he gives you the crazy eyes run.
