GM King Of Kings Competition 2014

[2blue]

virtuocity.... can you put me on the reserve list, please. Am not in any regional as have just seen it.... would have gone to Woodhall, but too late it appears.

Right folks,

Firstly- a big thanks to everyone who has entered a regional qualifier for the competition. I'm sure each event will be cracking.

Secondly- I need to remind anyone who has not yet paid their £10 King of Kings entry fee to do so TODAY or TOMORROW.

We needed to have a closing date on the competition and it was stated months ago that this would be the 19th of January. If payment is not received by tomorrow then you will not be entered into the competition, whether you are playing in a regional qualifier or not. If you were to win your qualifier then you would NOT be entitled to a free place at the Hillside final in May.

No exceptions.

I would say however that the response has been great and I look forward to hearing how everyone gets on in their qualifier.

Worth putting an up to date list of payers as a latest post perhaps?

I think you'll find them all in their designated regional areas, unless you just mean Hillside which |I believe is

I'm surprised we don't have a reserve list because if any of the 24 named above win their respective regional competition, a place would obviously become available.

Hi there , Just a query.... I transferred £30 to Dave on the 12th Dec, £20 for hillside and my £10 entry fee. The list above just shows £25 ?

Question. I've searched the thread and found nothing, and I don't want to start a huge argument, but will we be allowed to use iPhones and other DMDs?

Obviously it'll be on courses most of us have never played, and we don't all have SkyCaddies or Bushnells. Don't mind either way, just will have to do a bit of prep beforehand if not.

I assume that standalone DMDs will be allowed provided the appropriate local rule is in force at the course you play. Feel free to open the can of worms on i-phones.

Let's not have a debate - those are for other threads. Just a yes/no from whoever is acting comp sec/committee as to what's allowed and not.

Just as an aside, is JO playing as it was his idea in the first place?

Hi fella, I've amended now in the spreadsheet

Jim, I think I'm the same position?

Pretty sure I'll have paid £30 if that's what the NWers were due but only showing £25 on the spreadsheet?

Edit, just to add if I'm mistaken let me know what I owe and to whom and I can sort it tonight :thup:

Just checked my bank, made 2 separate payments for £20 and £10 on 13 December.

RE: DMDs etc.....

I couldn't care less whether someone wants to use an Iphone, Laser or hire a bloody Sherpa to show them the route to the hole.

I am totally unconvinced that anyone at our level can use this to gain more advantage than a strokesaver bought at a fiver could give them. Most people see their distance at 145, pull 8 iron and scratch their head as they see their ball land 10 yards short of the green.

However, I know that there are a few people taking this comp a little too seriously so the official, proper and snooty response is:

It's up to the regional co-ordinators what happens for each regional qualifier. Go send them a PM please.

As for the final- we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I don't mind what people use on my dates, but if they stop to look at the weather or compass the only wind they'll feel is my boot up their 'arris :smirk:

 

[Vikingman]

Jim, I paid a bank transfer for £10 to Dave earlier this week but I don't appear to be on the list.
