I think however you sort it people will miss out, just like on every other meet. It is just how it is...

Dont see why anyone has to miss out personally, if they want to come then they should and should be fitted into a team, doesnt matter if some teams are counties some are regions some are countries some places need twinning for the day etc etc

NOt saying that people have to miss out, but it is like any other meet you can only have so many places available for players. People do have options when seeing what team to play for. I myself play golf in Lincolnshire but I was born and bread in Leicestershire, so could play for either county or an East Midlands team. People are welcome to put there team together how ever they feel. If it is by region or county then that is fine. If people want to have one from their home city then it does not matter. If the lads from Scotland want to get a team Scotland together then go for it, at the end of the day it is about having an enjoyable meet. It's just that this one is going to be based in teams of a geographical nature for something a bit different.

Me and Rob had a quick chat after this starting to evolve from the other thread that people had started to challenge neighbouring counties on. So we thought we would use the date he had booked at Coventry and have a team competition that is based on a bit of geographical rivalry for a laugh.

I can see both view points but when it comes to it with the potential of 10 teams that's 40 players there won't be many left out if any, take Hillside this years mega meet was lots and lots of interest but only 35 actually made it with work school family commitments you never find a date or place to suit all just got to get best got which this seems to be so far. Good luck with the quest and comp lads!

 

[Fader]

I'll happily represent Kent or South East of England.

 

[GB72]

This looks like it could be a great mega meet for next year. I think people will have to just take the initiative and organise a team for their chosen county with it being teams of 4, some people may miss out. Like has been said already neighbouring counties can always join forces to make a team if you are struggling for numbers. I will take the lead with my team so far, anyone else from the county to make up the team?

Crow

As a Rutlander at heart I am happy to be re-annexed to Leicestershire (if the locals find out I will be shot). Will check I can get the time off but cannot book it until 3rd January but otherwise happy to make up the team.

What's Coventry GC like? I'm a bit of a golf snob you know, only play top tracks

 

[full_throttle]

It regulary holds open qualifiers, so should be in its best condition at the end of June, the website can be found in the first post of this thread.

Even though I am going to be an ex hampshire resident and future Cambridgeshire resident I would like to represent my home county of Lincolnshire. I expect Cambs will fill up quickly and as far as I know only Bob, Hickoryshaft and I are regulars from that area.

There are others from Lincolnshire. GB77 plays in Lincs I am from Lincs also but playing for my home county of Leicestershire. WestyP is another Lincs player so you could probably get a team together quite quickly.

Cheers Fish.

I'll play for any team that covers the Coventry area, born and bred.

 

[MadAdey]

Right everyone been getting my head together with throttle over this. This is what we have come up with:

Your team must be based around either where you were born or where you play your golf. So that can either be your town, county, region or even country to make it easier for the Scots and Irish to put a team in.

It will be 36 holes. Individual medal in the morning, best 3 of 4 cards counting towards your team. 4BBB medal in the afternoon 3/4 handicap. Both scores to count to towards the team total.

We will be looking at giving out prizes for the best individual nett and gross in the morning, with the best nett and gross in the afternoon also receiving a prize. The main prize will be going to the team with the best accumulative score of the morning and afternoons golf, along with the bragging rights of your county being the best on the forum.

So get your teams in, this should be a cracking day.

That's fine, we all play in Warwickshire.

36 holes medal? seriously? for a fun forum meet with a range of handicaps? make it stableford so it is fully inclusive and so that one hole early doesnt ruin someones round/day.

Also one small observation but the more rules you keep making the more people you may well be putting off. Keep it low key, get as many people as interested as you can and then sort teams out from there. Listing only the full teams entered and not all the people who have shown an interest doesnt come across that well

 

[MadAdey]

Fundy does have a good point regarding making it a Stableford competition, so that will need to be changed I am thinking with hindsight.

So far these are the people who have shown an interest:

Leicestershire	Madadey	Region3	Crow	GB72
Warwickshire	Full_Throttle	Sweatysock14	Wrighty1874	Quinn	Fish
Cambridgeshire	Viscount17
Herts	Rickg	GIBBO
Berks	Sawtooth	HomerJSimpson
Lancs	Louise_a
Surrey	Oddsocks
Bucks	Fundy
Hampshire	Wookie
