East Midlands Region qualifier

[rosecott]

Sunday, 22nd February or 22nd March at 9.40 or 11.50 on Oakmere Park Commanders course - around £25 for coffee/cob and the round or the round and something to eat afterwards.

If there is enough support I will organise this for the East Midlands area.

 

[Region3]

I like Sundays

I'm in please Jim. Would prefer March as long as it doesn't clash with any others, but will be there whichever date.

As mentioned on the other thread, the course - especially the greens imo - is a challenge!

Good man - expect Evesdad along any minute.

Come on forummers from Notts, Lincs, Leicestershire, Derbyshire - and maybe South Yorks - let's get it going.

I think I fall into this bracket Jim. Sundays are a big draw! Count me in

 

[fenwayrich]

I have said I am available for the Midlands qualifier but this would be nearer as I am in Nottingham, so if there are enough people please count me in.

Played the 18 hole course at Oakmere the other day, never played the Commanders, unless it was part of 'Oxton' many years ago.

 

[Pippo_T]

Doesn't appear to be another qualifier near to me, so I'm up for this count me in. Preference of March but can probably make both!

 

[rosecott]

Looks like March is winning. 5 down, 5 or more to go:

Rosecott
Region3
Captainron
fenwayrich

Keep them coming, I know there are more eastmidlanders out there.

I am interested but a quick check has shown it clashes with a club comp.
Is there a deadline for decisions?

No deadline but I see you prefer Alwoodley = can't fault you there.

I've put my name in the Alwoodley hat as well, but I think it is possible to play in more than one.

I'm pretty sure you can play as many as you like - I think Region3 is down for 4. Alwoodley is clearly going to be the big draw for East Midlanders but we'll see if there is still enough interest come February for the Oakmere event.

Personally I'm very disappointed that Alwoodley is a no-no for me as I'm golfing in Turkey that week.

I am trying very hard to feel sorry for you, that Turkey trip sounds like a real bind :mmm:

Would have been quicker but not been on much this last week!!

Put me in should hopefully be ok for either date.

Thought we would draw you in.

Now we are six and growing.

i [played Sherwood Forest yesterday and could recommend that course for an East Midlands meet. Incidentally, is Oakmere nearer to Coventry than SF.

Cheers Nick

You might struggle to get a Sunday booking at Sherwood.

Oakmere is about 8 miles from Sherwood - roughly south.

 

[wrighty1874]

Cheers, a bit nearer then. Thinking about it , I think SF is OOB on weekends.

Probably a silly question but do you need an official handicap to play in these qualifying things? I know you don't need one to play at oakmere as I've played it a few times.

If you don't then I may be up for it as it's not far from where I live and it's a decent track. But I'll be there for the fun of it and don't expect to win anything, and promise not to do any banditry if I do need to submit a handicap. Say 36?
