For all you winter golf enthusiasts I'm just thinking of a bit of fun/interest over the dull winter months to keep the Golfing juices flowing.
If you can't wait for the temps to drop and get out there in your Footjoy Wellies and Snoods then this could be for you..

Its a quite a simple idea due to me being quite a simple person and tbh I'm looking at making it as Straightforward as possible :p

*Format- Stableford

*Best 4 scores to count over the period

*No money involved, League winner just has the Kudos of being the Champ'

*All matches to be played in either winter opens or meets(4 league players minimum for meets) I was going to make it 2 but I thought that could discourage players from attending the Opens which I'll be pushing for a good turnout.

*No maximum amount of games, play as many as possible

*Post your scores after you've played and The league table will be updated at least weekly and posted in a separate thread on here.

*Hopefully try and organise a final/meet at a good NW venue for a presentation. I'll sort a trophy in the meantime.


After a brief look Ive found Theres currently weekend winter opens planned at..

SAOL
Fleetwood
Accrington
Carden Park
Wychwood park
Silverdale

..And I'm sure They'll be more released over the coming months.

I know its a bit early to be planning this but if its a goer we might as well get it in place, also bookings for the opens will be live shortly.

If you fancy it please state your interest below..

Also, any flaws that you can see with the above? (potential players answers only please) ;)

Good stuff Matt :thup:

Just to Add...

It says NW but anyone is welcome so long as they're confident of getting the 4 games in. But I would like to keep the meets/opens within Lancs, Cheshire & Merseyside.
Just to keep the numbers manageable. It would also be Full H'cap Stableford.
 
Good stuff folks, keep em' coming.
Just a simple league table like this would be updated weekly :thup:

PLAYER Top 4 Scores. Total

NWjocko. 0 0 0 0. -0
Junior. 0 0 0 0 -0
GregBWFC. 0 0 0 0-0

I wouldn't manage to get 4 games in for definite as all weekends but if space was there i'd maybe come to SAOL for the outing.

It'd be good to have you come down with any of the meets or Opens Val.
Unfortunately though SAOL on sat 7th of Nov isn't a goer, I initially checked on Golf Empire and it's down as an open, but having checked their website it's an invitation day. Even though it's also listed there as an open :( They do have some midweek winter opens which are going live in the next couple of weeks.
If the league takes off though it'd be good if you could make it down for a game.


I'm looking to kick it off with an Open at Royal Fleetwood on Sat 1st Nov.

I'll just wait and see if we get the numbers to make the league worthwhile before we start booking on. I'll probably play in this regardless though.
 
I can see a MAJOR flaw mate... For some unfathomable reason you've listed a farmers field in your list of Opens.. A boggy mess of sand, building site waste and heroin needles.. Somewhere that Stig would turn his nose up at (The original Stig, not your fancy doo laa laa racing driver Stig.) A hole in the ground that deserves its nickname of "Hellmouth".. Where I would expect to see Buffy and the Scooby gang fighting Spike and Drusilla (geddit?)

I'm in......

I'm sorry Wolfie, I'm not quite sure where you could mean.
Surely not the NW coastal Oasis known as Fleetwood :cool:

Bring your Bullet Proof Galvins ;)

Glad your onboard mate!

* Anyone can arrange a meet, any weekend, pay on the day or otherwise. Opens or not.
Just a case of posting up on here what is planned beforehand. As I said earlier its just a bit of fun/interest over the Winter and hopefully on a couple of occasions we could get a good turnout.

I quite enjoyed the Morecambe Open that me, Huds, Stuey and Duffers played last New Year.. Not too difficult a course, brutal cold and me stumping up for Stuey's lunch again.. Good day out..

Happy to sign on 3 guests at SAOL .....plan on using the country membership more in Winter as we go on mats and they are on a full course and no mats all year.

Dave, if this is Sun 1st Nov, then I'm out (Super Sunday, apparently) but if its Sat 31st then I may well be a goer.
