Eden/Strathtyrum tournaments at St Andrews

[Deleted Member 1156]

Louise I put an entry in for Sue, was refreshing the screen from 12:59 but the form didn't load until 13:01 according my PC and phone. Did you have the same thing?

 

[louise_a]

my screen was showing 12.59 when I got in, forgot to put in Gilet size so I was delayed a tad entry was in at 13.02.

When should you hear by Louise?

Next Monday Glyn.

Did you notice the entry has changed? Field is now 102 (down from 120) and first 40 get in followed by 62 via ballot. Used to be 60/60 split.

 

[louise_a]

Last year it was first 40 out of 102 as well.

Ah OK, used to be 120 they must have changed it a couple of years ago then.

I've entered the Eden tournament - the entry form didn't load until 1.02 so I only got mine in at 1.03. My handicap is 3.3 so hopefully I will scrape in through the ballot if not in the first 120 (?).

It took a while to load and even longer to submit.

I am not going to get in via the ballot so I am hoping I got my application in quick enough.

I managed to get the entry form completed and sent by 1.05 & have had an email back asking for a Handicap Certificate to go alongside my CDH No. Fingers crossed!

Could end up being a mini forum meet if we all get in, although a few of us will be sweating when the names are published next week.

I had it all sorted how I was going to get it filled in quickly then bottled it under pressure. I reckon mine went in around 1.06 in the end.

Enjoy Glyn, Gary and Louise. You are in for a great week :thup:

 

[louise_a]

Yes!!!! just need to sort out accommodation now.

Well done Glyn and Gary too, see you there!

Looks like Sue missed out Gordon

 

[TomRogers147]

I am in too, very much looking forward to it.

Is anyone coming from the east of England area?

Also what are people doing for accommodation? I am looking at either a tourist hostel in the town of the university halls (will be doing it alone).

Last year I stayed in a B&B less than 5 minutes walk from the 1st tee of the Old Course.

 

[TomRogers147]

Have just booked myself seven nights in of the university halls (Macintosh hall, apparently less than 5 minutes walk from the old course!).

The plan is to try and play the old course on either the Saturday before or after the tournament (by queuing up at the crack of dawn, unless I can find someone to enter the ballot with). Now just need to book the travel...

 

[louise_a]

I queued to play the Old Course last year, I was there at 2.30am and was not the first in the queue.

The halls are Ok if you are a single guy, though quite basic
