Well, we are exactly 18 days from teeing it up and duking it out again for the Uncivil War. If you don't know already this is being played on the prestigious turf of Royal Melbourne's West course, the nations number 1 sporting complex.

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! ).

Let the war begin (again!).

[Dotty]

Go Yoss!

[WBennett]

OK Boys, you know what to do.

Cash on?

Four score and seven years ago ...

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???

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?

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?

Shadesy would like to say

"I'm your huckleberry"

Rematch. Or we can have a beard off.

[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.

[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?

[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

So the confederates like the hashtags?
