Central, West Midlands & Warwickshire Regional - King Of Kings 2014".

The Small Print



Competition Entry Payment Method
B


The Central/Midlands Regional Qualifiers will be held at Kenilworth Golf Club

The winter rate is only £20, however, I can sign in 3 guests during the qualifying period for only £50, that's less than £17.00 each, however, in the spirit of the game, I will waive my membership so we all pay only £12.50 each on the first arranged date which I will use as my qualifying match :thup: I will then play and accompany 3 guests thereafter at the rate of £17 per person.

If we have a large number of players wishing to play and get together as a mini-meet, then we have a Winter Special which includes a Bacon Roll, Tea/Coffee, 18 Holes and a Chefs Special www.kenilworthgolfclub.co.uk/assets/files/Green Fees/01830 A5 Winter Winner NEW 2013 lr.pdf

I am quite flexible as to playing mid-week and at weekends although a lot of weekends are now pre-booked with my Winter League & Super 16's competitions so getting your names down quickly so I can arrange 4-balls (3 + me) ASAP will be extremely helpful.

Please state your interest below along with any available days/dates that you can play or can't play so I can build up the 4-ball groups quickly and lets get this show on the road.

The course is playing excellent for the time of the year, we only have 1 temporary green currently due to work on the par5 12th hole being worked on but it will come back into play very soon and is still playing close to 500yds.

So, here we go :whoo:

I'm keeping this as simple and as flexible as possible hence not trying to get everyone together on any particular day which I think will have its own hurdles, I think by me entertaining as many groups of 4 (3 + me) as possible whether its just a 4-ball one day or greater numbers another, we can attract more people to our region.

I will update a spreadsheet as I collect names and then start arranging dates with you all to suit.

Well if you do manage to get 20 on the same day that package inc food isn't too bad.

Yes its a good deal so hopefully once the names start appearing I will have something to work with but if people are restricted, which some will be, we can have mini-meets or simply 4-balls. It just means I will have to play along with them all :smirk:

I like the idea of multiple dates, to suit more people, and I also appreciate that this isn't so much about the "winning", but could this not potentially make it quite unfair, with potential extreme weather variations over the winter? One group could end up with 30mph wind, horizontal rain etc, while the next get a lovely calm winters day?

Its no different to teeing off at 8am in glorious sunshine and then those teeing of at 1pm the same day in a medal in torrential rain, it is what it is.

The more people I get to play in a single day/meet the better, however, I am happy to arrange smaller groups for those with greater restrictions to make it more inclusive.

Oh I definitely see what you mean, it was just in my head that I thought you are more likely to get significant weather variations with weeks between some matches!

It's your event though, so I'm not complaining/criticising, just putting my thoughts forward. I will likely play in it either way.

Personally, if the weather was that bad most courses would close, especially if the weather was poor a few days prior and the water tables still high, so, in that eventuality it would be rescheduled. Obviously if that was a smaller group its easier to manage, if it was a large group/meet then getting everyone together again with a cut-off date looming is going to prove difficult. I think the way I am attempting to do this is right, but then I would, wouldn't I :smirk:

I am going to propose some monthly dates and I want people to state their interest in them, those that work shifts and would prefer a midweek day, then I can accommodate that also as long as we get 3 in total plus myself making up a 4-ball to get the best deal/s.

December 15th (Sunday)
January 4th (Saturday)
February 2nd (Sunday)
March 1st (Saturday)

I think any later than this will prove difficult, especially if the weather rears its head so lets get the matches played. It also leaves you all the option and enough time to still join and play in another region if you wanted afterwards!

Well done Robin for taking up the baton of organising, as it's now a stroke play event I'm up for it.

Good to have you on board Ben, any of those dates take your fancy so I can start planning?

December is out but all the others are fine, also happy to do a mid week one too.

Well this is a damp squid isn't it, 220 views and only a couple of people showing any interest. If this doesn't start to gain any mileage, especially as I am attempting to make is so flexible and give up my personal time to arrange everything I'll put it up for someone else to take on, I thought this was a flyer when everyone was subscribing their interest to Jo's original idea, what has changed?

I'm up for this, I'm just struggling to finalise a date I'm free at the moment! A long running golf weekend is up in the air, and is affecting all my other plans!

Think of it this way, much higher chance of making the final!
