GM King Of Kings Competition 2014

MGL- thanks for getting involved. :thup:

 

[Qwerty]

I'm happy to sort the NE meet. Not been posting in here much lately so missed most of the 'chat'.

As an aside, having read some of the 'contributions' from some people in this thread, you have to seriously wonder how old some people are and whether they have had their login details stolen by a 3 year old. I think anything in this thread that is looking to debate the same stuff in the 'debate' thread should just be deleted by the mods.

Personally, I actually appreciate someone taking the time to put their hands up and sort something. To be moaning about winter tees, time of the year, paying £10 out - is quite frankly embarrassing.

I'll post something in the arrange a game shortly for the NE region.

Absolute nail on the head MGL!
We're lucky in the fact that people are willing to step up and organise this kind of thing. I think we all use this forum for different golf related reasons,but for me its mainly about getting out and playing the game with other Forummers, Ive met some great people via this forum and getting out for a game and having a laugh and a joke is what it's all about..

Just as a heads up - I have been receiving payments (thank you for those that have sent) but I created a spreadsheet of payers on my work machine and foolish didn't send home. As such, I'll update all of those that have paid since Friday night in my sheet tomorrow and post the names of those than have paid, unless anyone has an objection? I did put out the feelers for creating yet another thread for payment but think it's better if I keep it in here and update once a week or so?

There's always one that goes against the grain, isn't there - sorry Jimbob, though we were paying Virtuocity, not yonself. Apologies.

 

[virtuocity]

Paypal payments go to Jimbob. For those who don't have Paypal- they can send it to me via bank transfer (PM me for bank details). However, I will be forwarding payments to Jimbob eventually, so best to pay by Paypal if you have the facility.

Sorry, you most definitely have. My apologies.

GRAND FINAL NEWS

As you all know, the location for the final had not been set prior to arranging the qualifiers. We had aimed to host a final event at a location befitting the competition on Saturday 24th May 2014 and we quickly found that due to various factors, we have had to move the date of the final forward by 24 hours. After discussions with the regional co-ordinators, we all agreed that it shouldn't be overly difficult to book time off from your working commitments but for those whose commitment to competing in their respective regional qualifiers was dependant on a Grand Final date of the 24th of May, please get in touch with me via PM.

Given that we are over 5 months away from the final date, I hope this change won't cause any issues.

Now do I have a deal for you!!!

I would like to take credit for coming up with this offer, but that would be unfair. A thousand THANKS to MikeH for digging out his little black golf book and using the good name of Golf Monthly to deliver a superb package at a superb price.

For anyone who doesn't know the course, search the forum for independent reviews. Reports are glowing without exception. The advertised rates for rounds here is £115 (excluding food).

There are only 24 places up for grabs folks (plus 8 regional winners spots) and they will go to those who can get their £20 deposit to me first (payment details on the image above). Full balance is due by the end of April, but feel free to pay in full. Regional winners will have any payments made returned to them, so don't delay because in the unlikely event of you not winning your regional qualifier, you may not be guaranteed a paid spot to play on the day.

Also, I know that the final location might not be on your doorstep- it's nearly 4 hours away from me but I'm sure that those who have played Hillside will be happy to tell you that it's worth the journey. I would advise that if you're looking to stay the night before or after the event, that you don't leave it to the week before as it's a bank holiday weekend. However, there are plenty of good hotels nearby.

As always, if anyone has any questions, please get in touch with me or post them here.

Excellent, well done Dave & Mike, a superb venue which was high on my bucket list for this year but didn't get the opportunity to play it, so, this is an excellent price for a top track :thup:
