What's the plan with the separate regional threads fellas? Did someone mention something about a dedicated sub forum,or just put them in arrange a game.

Two people have just agreed with me. Close the thread!!!
ETA- I also want to make sure that everyone knows that:
-There will be a £10 entry fee PRIOR to confirming your attendance at the regional qualifier.
-As long as it's agreeable, this will be split between the finalists to help with the final green fees.
-Everyone will be welcome to attend and play at the final.
-I will be happy to arrange and pay for the trophy and if necessary a "losers trophy", which will be for those who have not qualified wanting to play a decent course on the final day.
-Regional qualifiers to be played by the end of March with the final being played around June.
-You can play in more than one regional qualifier if you wish
-If a regional winner cannot or does not wish to attend the finals day, the expenses from the prize fund will be offered to the 2nd placed player in that region, subject to them being able to attend the final day.
To be honest imo June is too late.
To many club comps,opens,holidays etc are june onwards.
I would not want anyone qualifying to miss the finals.
We need a finals date first,before the regionals so everyone can check diaries before entering.

I agree with the above.
I would then propose Saturday 24th May 2014 unless anyone can come up with some good reasons as to why this should not be the finals date.
If you can't make this date, then you can still attend the regional event but your score obviously won't count in terms of the competition.
Is that map showing the SW region stretching from Kent to Wales? Thats too far in my opinion. I think it should be slit in two around the Isle Of White. Kent would of been better in with London, but Im probably too late for the discussion.
Re dates a couple of questions if thats allowed (am actually trying to help and imrpove whats happening albeit thats not how all are seeing it)?
Why do you need to have all the regionals finished by the end of march if the final isnt going to be for a few more months? And why are you ensuring the regionals have to be played before the better weather comes in spring? Arranging one for Feb is almost guaranteeing frozen or flooded conditions based on the last few winters.
Surely be better playing the regionals in spring and then the final a little later?
Yes I saw that way to big.
My event is near taunton so its up to whoever enters how far they want to travel.

Ashford to Taunton = 3.5 hours in good traffic.
I'd take care of a SE section, South of the River Thames from Kent as far right as Southampton?

I'm sure that there is a lot on in spring in the summer and there are good deals to be had on good courses early in the year.
Playing it early is a good way of getting some competitive golf in before the season starts, whilst having a good old laugh with forumers. It also keeps it miles away from H4H and perhaps going forward, something to look forward to at the start of the year?
I would say that I could book a date in April then July and still have it rained off both times! Course selection will be important to avoid cancellation.
See both sides of the argument though.
