Golf Days UK Pairs

[jimbob.someroo]

Just gauging interest to see if anyone is thinking about entering the below?

Could end up being a decent meet up if enough were interested - I'm obviously closest to Surrey but there's ones in a few counties.

Whys everything always Norfolk, Essex & Surrey, why not filter the Midlands in, especially as the final is at the Oxfordshire?

I wonder why they have their singles events off 3/4 but their betterball is off full handicap

Hi, the reason is that for the singles events we don't insist on club handicap certificates... whereas for the pairs competition we have just launched we insist on active CONGU certificates to be shown. So full handicap is what we have decided.

Hope that clears it up for you...

Best,

Ben

Hi Robin,

The reason being that we are utilising our amateur tour areas - there are already very successful am tours in the Midlands...

Cheers,

Final is in Scotland but no Scottish pairs venue either?

Earlier in the year you said you were hoping to expand to the northern home counties/bottom end of the midlands next yr? do these other tours now mean that wont be happening? and which other tours are you referring to?

Hi Fundy,

We are looking to expand the tours in 2014, we are currently looking at various counties in the UK.

There are many tours already running in the Midlands/Northern area of the UK and we are focused on bringing our tours to the Southern areas of the UK...

Feel free to attack Beds, Bucks, Herts, Oxon, Nhants, Cambs area - pretty short of decent opens or a tour round these parts

Hi Valentino,

As mentioned above, we are utilising or current amateur tour areas... we don't operate a tour in Scotland...

Hi Fundy,

We will do.. our tours are usually announced in October/November time for the following year... I am sure it will be picked up on here too!

Those Midlands one's are far too expensive and not appealing to those of us who are local to them. I can play all those at less than half those prices with my county card. OK there's some food but that doesn't equate to the other 50% even taking prizes into consideration.

A much lesser cost with no food would get a much better attendance IMHO.

Good to hear, if you need any "local" input feel free to ask too

I agree after looking at that midlands tour thing. A tour in the mould of the Norfolk/Surrey ones ive seen on here would do well in the anywhere I reckon as they are well run and reasonably priced. People cant afford be shelling out 70, 80 quid a pop all the time.

You should consider it, you'd have plenty interest if you get the right courses on board.
