GM National Final details

[Deleted Member 1156]

I am delighted to announce that Hillside have once again offered us a fantastic deal to host the Finals day. The date will be Friday 29th May with the tee reserved from 10:40 till Midday which means we can have 40 players.

Once all the qualifiers are known, I will offer the remaining places to everyone else and if oversubscribed I will run a ballot. Don't even think about trying to bribe me, you'll be wasting your time

The cost for the day will be £75 for golf and an additional £10 for coffee and bacon rolls in the morning followed by soup and sandwiches when we finish. This is a reduction of £40 on the standard green fee for May!!

I hope this deal will entice all those who are undecided about entering into signing up and supporting the event.

Oh...and one last thing......Liverbirdie said we can all crash round his place :thup:

Well done on getting a great venue, but what happened to trying to move the final around the country each year so that different people had the long journey?

I contacted several courses and none of them could even get close to this deal for quality and value.

Another great deal and all being well I will be able to play this year as it doesn't clash with anything so far as I can see.

Superb stuff and a major decision as this clashes with the Mid Am 36 holer at Woodhall Spa.

Do regional organisers get guaranteed a slot?

You can't please everyone bud but it's as central as you'll get from Nairn to the South East. Im sure PAtrick would argue it's a bit weighted to the South though

No problem chap, I'll throw all the tourists out and you can all de-bunk into the east wing, and a few can sleep on the couches in the orangery.

Does lowest gross by 5 shots at Hillside from last year get a slot as well?

Top organising D4S, me and Birchy hope to be able to offer the NW massif an option for our regional qualifier in the coming week, so hopefully it will swell your numbers for entry money.

 

[NWJocko]

Certainly do.

Won't be wining the NW regional with the sharks we have up here so shouldn't be a issue!! :rofl:

Good work on taking this on and arranging it all, fair play :thup:

 

[Paperboy]

Hope to get a spot again this year, it certainly beat me up on the last 3 holes!!!

 

[Karl102]

Surely if it's your birthday you get in?!?

 

[Deleted member 17920]

Ah nightmare. I was going to play in the mid am at our place.

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

Yeah I think that's fair actually as those guys are putting a lot of effort in.

Whats the situation for regional winners,what payment do they get towards final?

I'll be paying for a couple of trophies and/or prizes for the winners then divvying up whatever is left equally amongst the regional winners :thup:

 

[Liverbirdie]

D4S - can you PM me your e-mail address, please.

I want to check a few things with you first before arranging our regional meet.:thup:

I would suggest that if anyone is entitled to a freebie, then it's Virtuocity our past KOKs captain .
He had the tenacity to take the bull by the horns and organise the whole event, with great success. :whoo:
