I still think the best (and easiest) way of sorting would be to have a meet in 8 regions. The top two scores from those regions (medal) go through.

You've then got 16 players. The top two from each region then play matchplay so you end up with 8 regional champs.

Those 8 then play a knockout round against the next nearest region (ie Scotland/Northumbria, Lancs / Midlands etc).

You've then got 4 for a finals day. One round in the morning to get final 2. Winners play in the afternoon. Runners up can play for 3rd if they want.

My back won't cope with 36 holes currently, I'm sure there are a few others that may struggle with 36 also for various reasons, make it a resort hotel/golf complex so its a weekend experience, semi on the Saturday and final on the Sunday.

The losers of the semi's can caddie for the finalists :smirk:

Either way - I think this format would work much better. You get a medal round (complete with a good forum meet) to whittle the numbers down and stop you travelling too much. Then 3 or 4 rounds of matchplay.

I simply couldn't afford to play 5+ rounds of matchplay with green fees and petrol. Added to the fact that I can only really play at weekends (apart from one offs like HFH) that's 5 weekends out of what's going to be an already busy season to find.

 

[FairwayDodger]

That's the confident attitude we like to see! :whoo:

 

[garyinderry]

most players wont have 5 weekends to worry about. im looking forward to my single game already!

You know it Me and you in the HCP challenge next year FD?

most players wont have 5 weekends to worry about. im looking forward to my single game already!

But surely, you'd rather your one game be on a day with a few playing and getting to see some faces rather than just a one-on-one? You could end up playing a right miserable git!



EDIT: Sorry to hijack this a little, but as someone said earlier I do think we need to A) know what we're showing an interest in and B) get the ball rolling over the next few weeks so that we're ready to go in the new year.

 

[Birchy]

I think two concepts are being crossed over on here now gauging of peoples views on the posts ive read.

Sounds like some people want a straight singles knockout one on one all the way from start to finish.

Some others like the thought of having local-ish games with other forum members and a big grand final.

It looks like these might need to be separated and do one or the other or both?? We do seem to be going round in circles format wise now

My backs knackered too , but I would manage 36 using a buggy.

I agree , but the clue is in the title of the thread.

I think someone else has said t, but in case not. Each region could have "meets" where everyone plays their matchplay matches, but with other company. If people can't play the day of the meet, they can sort another day out. Ok each meet may dwindle in numbers, but others can join if they are already knocked out and just play anyway. The numbers would keep the prices down, through deals then. Play your matches at the meets, or not, the choice is up to each match. Spot on Birchy. Are we having 3/4 difference? Matchplay all the way through for me!

NOt as much as mine, 17HC now, going to be single figures for the H4H day next year.

Considering your forum name, you'll be changing quite a lot.
