North west - Order of merit ???

[Birchy]

I was thinking neutral venue for final day as we might need Lee park as one of the 5 but looking at that list we should easily have enough especially if more join .

Im happy to be captain at my course Davyhulme park golf club.

I sure i could play as many different groups as necessary for everybody to get a card in as i play regular after work and also theres Sundays available at my club on weekends.

 

[Qwerty]

I'm ok to sort Things at Chorley if needed, I suppose a small problem might be getting everyone signed in at at reduced rate at weekends.

 

[louise_a]

Sure I can sort a deal out at Ellesmere.

 

[gregbwfc]

Will pop to club tomorrow LB and have a chat with secretary to see what we can do.
What I do know is that the course is always busy of a weekend so that may be a problem.
Will let you know.

 

[6inchcup]

i'm in,i should be up and playing by then.

 

[Karl102]

Our kid will captain the Lymm meet

 

[gjbike]

Going up to the club tomorrow to pick up my new Galvin Green jacket, will find out how many i can sign in at anyone time Monday to Thursday its only a £10 with a member.

Bugger - had to type this out twice, as wasn't logged in. Grrrr

A few points first:-

Royal Ashton - we don't want to make it too hard...

Qwerty - Top shout, a "captain" for each venue.

Birchy - There to help, as always - top man.

MGL - Thanks for the society tip, but as a member will be sorting each game, we should be ok, I also have excel in work!

Valentino - More than welcome.

I think that 12-20 is manageable/ideal, but don't want to exclude anyone, but if we reach 20 names over a few weeks, maybe call that enough.

Birchy - In an ideal world we would have a neutral venue for the final match, but I doubt everyone would be available for that day, so would deprive them of fulfilling all their games, as out of say 16-20, there would always be 2-3 who could not make it on the day, I would have thought. It doesen't have to be Lee park, it can be one of the others, the only thing I would say is that it would ideally be a Saturday, and our club never has comps on a saturday (and I'm a shark).

As Qwerty said, if each member from the designated course becomes "captain" for that venue, than good stuff, as it lightens the organising load. The example posted was just that. If the captain organises a mini-meet and say 12-14 turn up, at least he has 5 months either side to hoover up the other 6-8 people. We would need the captains to be available for midweek (evening) as well as weekends. he may even do the other 6-8 in 2-3 games, so not too much of a bane.

I'll discuss prizes later on, but in the meantime, who is willing to be a host captain, and name your course. These will also act as committee members, if any problems with decisions, but hopefully it won't come to that.

15 so far

Potential Captains / Courses offered:-

GJBike - Bolton old links
Junior (by his brother) with oberleutnant Karl102, as his batman - Lymm
Greg BWFC - Preston
Louise - Ellesmere (not ellesmere port, BTW)
Qwerty - Chorley
Birchy - Davyhulme
Blue wolf - TBA (in between clubs at the mo)
Liverbirdie (backed up with Scouser, hopefully StuC and Podgster) - (G)lee park

I suggest the following:-

1. Each captain contacts their club in the next week to ask about availability/prices/potential deals for a mini-meet and also advise the normal price to play with a member at the course (midweek and weekend). Also advise the normal price for play at your course.

2. Write a 4-5 line synopsis about your course (for the big Sunday, phone in vote). Tell us where it is, and any other relevant info. Also give a guide to normal weekday and weekend availability.

Over to you guys........

 

[NWJocko]

Thought I said I was interested in this.......

My place is out the road and not worth the journey probably.

Happy to play midweek as I can work in Manchester or Liverpool those days....

He did, he got frostbitten the other week and lost a toe. The sixth one (he's from Netherley, you know).

 

[Scouser]

Yeah that would have only been 0.1lb from what LB has told me

[Val]

Looks like this has grown arms and legs, good stuff.

Can I suggest Silloth for the Sunday big finale

Or somewhere like S&A, St Anne's OL or Hillside?

Good shout Val. lets make it a biggie.

Can I suggest that we have a unique trophy for the eventual winner. Something that can be passed on from year to year. A golden sombrero or a mounted Dunlop putter.
