East Midlands Region qualifier

Nice to have another forummer I've met before coming on board. Don't listen to Region3, I guarantee you'll enjoy the challenge.
 
Right guys, time to cut to the chase. If we want this qualifier to go ahead, I need firm commitments and entry fees paid and notified to me. I had hoped to sweet talk my way into getting the member's visitors rate for all the players, but was flabbergasted when the boss man said "just charge them a tenner" - must be the power of Golf Monthly. If there are any others out there looking for a challenge, look no further. Region3 mentioned the difficulty of the greens and if you follow this link and the link within it, you will see what he meant:

So, the line-up for Sunday, 22nd February at 9,27 on Oakmere Park Commanders course is:

Rosecott
Region3
Captainron
fenwayrich
Pippo_T
Evesdad
Hacker Khan
ruff-driver
Fish

100% i'll be there, jim is the £10 fee to val mandatory even if your are not in the GM hillside dodah, not fussed about paying just after clarity.
Looking forward to a knock about with the pro's from this forum :)

The tenner only applies if you want to be included in the qualifying event for Hillside.
 
As there are only 10 of us, and a few aren't entering the GM comp, do we have enough to make it a qualifier?

I will definitely be there, looking forward to it. I am not certain to be available for Hillside in May, but if it means the meet is a qualifier I will send my tenner.

If everyone who said they will play confirms, the line-up is now:

Rosecott
Region3
Captainron
fenwayrich
Pippo_T
Evesdad
Hacker Khan
ruff-driver

I think the best idea is for those who might be up for Hillside to pay the £10. If it is then decided that we don't have enough qualifiers, I'm sure Val will arrange for a refund. Whatever happens, we'll go ahead with the meet and maybe some more qualifiers will come forward. If I know early enough, I can squeeze another tee time in.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter this time around how many are in the qualifier as long as its an official qualifying meet as agreed by Val. The idea that there should be a minimum is to cover the free green fee for the winner, plus hopefully some more revenue towards prizes etc.

Maybe we could do a blackout card at these meets so it can contribute that little bit more funds to help?
 
Crikey Jim, best remove that link or you'll have no-one turn up! :eek:

In fairness, I don't think it's as bad as they make out, but maybe that's just me? I only remember the par 3 (7th) that I thought was 'unfair'.
Some of the others I couldn't read for love nor money, but that is usual for me on unfamiliar greens.

What's your opinion on the report, and also the prospect of having your course made easier?

It looks like they see it as one site, whereas I thought it was 2 different memberships?

I've played Oxton a few times and just about every course in the vicinity and I can't remember the green being any worse than others. Believe you me, I can 3 put on any green.

Baring any unforeseen circumstances I'll be there. I'm not entering the Hillside thing as I don't have an official handicap, but I will have a wodge of tenners ready to hand over to whoever.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a blackout card?
 
If i read it correctly we are getting a reduced green fee on the day ?
If so i'm happy to pay more to help fund the hillside prize fund as i'm only coming for a knockabout.

As long as i get a brew & a butty i'm happy :whoo:

You read it correctly and butties are available before and after playing.
