cappy1 as far as age, you may have to get behind me and Les, also known as the old farts. I am older than dirt that is why the name of the league drew me in lol. I will be 75 within 2 weeks

The final team Fore Noses for Dirt-Frans (c) Greg Art Marc van Niekerk Dang it, you beat me to it by five minutes, Bill... Anyway, yes, apologies to Greg, Art and Marc for the silly name - being a non-native English speaker I have no clue what I am saying half the time, so picking a name was a challenge - and for being stuck with a captain who for some reason thought he was good enough to switch to Master clubs a week ago. Points will have to come from you guys, but I can promise to be a cheerful captain! We are clearly the most international team in this competition and we will use our cultural awareness to confuse our opponents and throw some dirt at them if and when needed... Let's have fun! Best wishes, Frans hahahaha Frans, that name is , uhm, unique but 100% fine. Besides, when the chips are down and you ask all the other teams what they can't do without - their, podracers, their horses, their party or their noses - nothing to sneeze about I think. I can smell a victory coming

For the 1st week of the season we're going to a Swiss course in Seattle being sponsored by an Austrian who runs the RRCC Tour so who knows what to expect, but don't lose any sleep over it The Teams look to be quite evenly matched so there should be some close games. Good luck every one.

I did a quick practice round. Don't exactly know what I mean but I thought it was a little 'too much'. My tempo got off trying to do all the calculations necessary.
6 pars 6 birdies 6 bogies Even par
Good luck all!
The original old fart, Bill, and the 3rd old fart Ernie are requesting carts for this tournament due to all the hills, and the fact that we are.....old.

The final team Fore Noses for Dirt-Frans (c) Greg Art Marc van Niekerk Personally I like how our captain fransslabak is the only one to incorporate dirt into the team name. Better dirt than bag imo! I too smell victory!

I've been quiet recently as I've been a bit busy with real life golf. It has hardly rained in the North-west of England for a couple of weeks (so thanks to all the 'Mericans for driving those 6 litre V12 SUV's to the store, global warming is working out OK for us) and our season is now in full swing.
I'm am hoping that my change to the PS4 will allow a less than incompetent performance the team. Let's try to do the rest of the world proud.

Hi Greg I was interested where you live as I originally lived in Blackpool and now live in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Hi all, and especially those with a Nose for Dirt, I thought I would just race out of the clubhouse to get this season started! Played my first round, with Master clubs in case you’re wondering, and guess what: 😊 Good luck to all! Frans

Second round completed; bit more wind and I started having some slow backswings, resulting in one bogey. Did manage to keep it together though for a reasonably decent score: 64 (-8)
Sitting at -20 after two and relying on Marc to follow his Nose to victory in the team matches!
