NORTH WEST ENGLAND - King of Kings 2014

[LIG]

U need to know the context and the rules had clearly been set out before hand it was a low blow ...but an moment of inspiration all the same!

With that teaser, I can wait for the full SP (crs again) in June.

 

[Scouser]

isnt sp starting price??? a betting term?? lol

 

[Qwerty]

The 23rd is fine by me Birchy. I'll probably be ok for the weekend after also but at the moment I'm just trying to convince the Missus that we should go away to St Andrews on that following weekend. :thup:

 

[Scouser]

lig check your pm ;o)

 

[Qwerty]

Any more News/response from the clubs Birchy? I was having a look at Stockport earlier, it looks Stunning. I think it seems to be another one of those clubs that flies under the radar a little.

 

[garyinderry]

Nothing at the moment mate. Stockport deffo seems one of them, similar mould to Delamere i reckon.

May have to look at other plans.

How do you mean mate?.. Look at clubs other than the 4 mentioned.

Yeah possibly pal. Ormskirk we can get on for £35 each, no idea if its worth that though. The other 3 havent replied.

23rd (wife's birthday) and 30th (mothers day and my old dears birthday) both somewhere between slim and no chance for me Coolio so count me out I'm afraid.

Coolio I'll play in this if it's not 30th march as I defo can't do this weekend.

Reddish vale would be a nice one to play if your looking for options.

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.

Definately interested in this (if you'll have me) but Widnes are at home on both 23rd and 30th March so could only make those dates if it was an early start and I could get back in time.

 

[davemc1]

Add me to your list please, don't have a handicap as of yet but will by time it comes around, cheers

 

[Birchy]

Right peeps time to get this finalised. Im going to try for Sunday 23rd March as it seems most popular.

Im thinking of going for Caldy for this to ensure a decent course condition at a reasonable price. Will be finalising by the weekend so any further thoughts from people need to be added asap.

 

[Liverbirdie]

I would only be able to play if my tee time was before 8.45, as at the Swansea home match is 1.30 in the afternoon. Bloody sky!

I understand if you have to go with the majority though.

 

[Vikingman]

Widnes game on 23rd of March has been switched to Hull so having witnessed us getting thrashed there on a regular basis I'll give it a miss.

Thus, I'm OK for Caldy or where ever on 23rd.

What do I need to do?

 

[Odvan]

Scott, good for me.

I will see what i can do RE tee times. We might be able to have an early time seperate from the main group if need be etc.

Thanks mate, willing to be as flexible as poss, but not much room for that, even a 8.45 could see me miss the Ko, but not a problem and willing to take a gamble.

I'm ok for the saturday and the other weeks generally, although suspect we could not get the saturday.
