A certain James Doran suggested a match report of "they won, we lost.... move on". Seems about right, but I'll grudingly stick a few more down.
After last week's win against our sister team, The Originals, the Swashies entered into the final game of the Ryder Cup campaign facing the always steady Early Birds in a rescheduled ...

Match Report: Swashbuckers vs The Originals
Posted on behalf of Philip
So it was our kill or be killed match, pretty much everything hanging on it, including our reputations and pride. Weather forecast was awful after a great day Saturday so it looked like it was going to be who could stay the driest and keep their patience. Didn’t turn out that way though, in fact it was a lovely day, ...

Swashbucklers beat The Originals 11-5
Well I hope this quick post is supported by Match Reports from Captains Macve and Loveless so I'll keep my bit brief.

Ryder Cup Update: Bashers smash the Pistols
All the p*ss n' vinegar from that rabid bunch The Pistol Knights meant nothing to the steady old warhorses of Bobs Bashers.
12-4 Bashers won at the weekend with some solid golf all round. Dom was forlornly wandering around looking for a hug, Woody bemused by effectively scoring 40pts and losing 4&3.
Paul G sent over an update of the ...

Match Report: Swashbucklers beaten 10-6 by the wiley old Bashers
Posted on behalf of Swashies Captain Phil Macve
We needed a convincing win here against The Bashers after our last drumming by the Pistols.
Richie and myself out first against Ali and Alan, we started par, birdie, to go 2 up, I chipped in from off of the green on two so all looked good. We dovetailed really well, hardly ever both coming in or ...

Pistol Knights romp a 12-4 win in autumn sun and rain
With rain promised on a mild early autumn morning, Phil and Dom "Darren Clarke" Khan had teams lined up and ready to go.
Phil and I played Mick and Keith. Phil managed to call Keith the wrong name the whole round and Mick, Keith and myself kept ourselves amused as he wrongly called it for 18 ...
