International Forum Golf Challenge

[Tuoppi]

Hi Aureliano and welcome to the Golfpiste.com forum!

Your cup-initiative has definitely stirred up some positive excitement (and already a couple of ’I’m in’ -enrolments) among the forum members. 🙂

I figure the status now is that we’re currently trying to elect a captain to assemble a team and take care of the practicalities. The strongest (and so far the only) candidate is nickname Parti, who has e.g. year after year arranged our own 100-player annual forum championship tournament. We’re all eagerly waiting whether he’ll accept the task or not.

Parti, I know you’re reading this. What’ll it be, will you pick up the ball? 😉

Hi Aureliano,

Is it also possible to come with womens team?
Though then the handicap limit might go over 20 😛

But I promise, then there would be something worth to see 😉
( I mean our fabilous drives )

[Aureliano Piccolo]

Hi friends…as writed in my first post…there are no problems in terms of HCP and (obviously) woman or men. We would like to create a GREAT PARY and inside of it playing a challenge fo the European Forum.

In nexgolf.it (italian forum) we are thinking about the game formula and other things in order to satisfy demands and requirements of all and I hope that even you and your staff/registered members will think something to propose.

Spanish, Dutch and English golfers already confirmed the partecipation and I’m waiting the confirmation from French Forum and Swedish Forum!

greetings
aureliano

[Aureliano Piccolo]

sorry…correcting is GREAT PARTY and inside of it playing an European Forum Golf Cup! 🙂

[Parti]

Well, This is a tuff one…
This is a great idea and I’m convinced that this IFGC will be a great event. Being a captain of one of the teams would be an honour. However, I hope you give me a couple of days to think about this.
And what’s even more important, I have to ask my girlfriend if I’m interested of golf in Italy.
🙂

Ciao Aureliano,

Benvenuto a Golfpiste.com ! Questa competizione é una buona idea. Sono sicura che il vincitore della “long drive”-competizione viene da Finlandia, perche tutti gli ragazzi coniano la pallina piu di 300 metri. Almeno dicono cosí ;-).

[Aureliano Piccolo]

Hi Parti and Kiara…thanks for your answers!!

Parti, take all the time you need for understanding and being sure that you can partecipate to the IFGC. I HOPE THAT YOU’LL CONFIRM YOUR PRESENCE! 🙂
Organization requires a lot of issues to coordinate (need time and ’passion’) and when you’ll get some news from your ’finnish team’..please…don’t hesitate to inform me.
my email is: steelshaft@libero.it ….keep our contacts!

Kiara…do you speak italian????….wonderful….would you like to be present with finnish team at the IFGC in Italy??? About the drive….it’s a worldwide ’legend’!!!eheheheh

hey friends, please, visit our site (www.nextgolf.it)…get your registration and post (in english) some idea or whatever you want (there’s a section called ’International Forum Cup in English’!! 🙂 Spanish, Dutch and others they have already done!!

[Parti]

I’m sorry but I have to pass this opportunity. My (our) summer plans are not flexible enough to include this trip to Italy.
Also, I want to concentrate to keep up the proud heritage of Clubhouse Invitational. That means that I must not take too many tasks.

So, the captaincy of Finnish team is still open….

Ps. Team Golfpiste: Have fun and kick some italian ass on the course 😉

[Aureliano Piccolo]

Our ass is waiting for you!!! 🙂

Ok…is there someone that could be a new ’finnish team captain’??…please…we need you!!

greetings
aureliano

[Aureliano Piccolo]

Parti, remember that you can propose another date in order to satisfying your demands…if all nations are agree!!

regards
aureliano

Aureliano, ho voglia di giocare a golf in Italia ma non giá posso dire se ho la possibilitá e il tempo l’anno prossimo. Forse i vostri ragazzi desiderano una squadra di ragazzi… ma noi ragazze siamo piu belle naturalmente ;-). Non ho mai giacato a Milano, solo ho giacato in Veneto e Toscana. La volta prossima quando vengo a Milano per lavoro devo prendere i miei racchetti con me e andiamo a giocare :-).

Oltre da golf ci sono anche altri posti da vedere a Milano, per esempio la fabbrica di Campari. Purtroppo é vietato giocare a golf nel giardino della Villa ma si può bere per ricompensare….

Could we make a list of those with an interest to this tournament. It seems up to date we’re quite few. Add on (or take away) names only to the below incomplete list (with ”Lainaa alkuperäistä” button). If we end up with 2-3 players we do not need a captatin (nor a trainer, sorry ts)…

Ciao a tutti!
Schedule could be small problem for me, but don’t count me out yet. I will be in Italy next September, so perhaps I should come there beforehand to practice my Italian 😮

Ciao Aureliano!

I’m afraid the season has got us down as the Finnish courses were closed down during past 2-3 weeks. So this is an interim mourning period for all of us….

As lovely as this idea sounds I am afraid my family situation does not allow me to attend the competition, although I would love to.

Also it seems that nobody here has really taken the step forward to accept that huge responsibility that goes together with the Captain’s robe. I guess that is also slowing down this process.

But do not despair! We finns are a bit slow to turn on but I am rather sure there will be at least one team consisting of Crazy Finns messing up Your tournament in July!

Cordiali (ma abbastanza freddi…) saluti da Finlandia,
KL

[Aureliano Piccolo]

Thanks KL for your reply and I appreciate so much Anton post on nextgolf site 🙂

saluti da Italia (today 8°C)
