There aren't that many mixed 4BBBs I dont think, as long as I can get a game with the host member around the same time I would say that you all play in the opens when you can to benefit from the cheap fees.

I'd be interested in playing, but having only started playing again 2 years ago, my home course at the moment is Royal Kirkby (awaits the stampede of golfers desperate to play!!!), but am happy to play anywhere

Everything is an option worth looking at fella. I think we are having an x factor type big brother eviction vote to sort out the courses at some point

How about we still go ahead and arrange the games whenever we can, midweek or weekends ...... but to qualify for the GM NW OOM you have to return minimum of 5 cards and your top 5 count towards the OOM. Any "recognsied" meet can qualify, (LB and Birchy can determine qualifiers) so this way say you get a good score at Royal Liverpool , West Lancs or Formby etc you can count them also ?
I'll ask the question but I think Im going to struggle to get on at a weekend at Lymm as there will be a comp on one day and 6 day memebers have priority on the other day. We would probably have to tee off after 12/1ish. Failing that, me and our kid could sign 3 people in each for guest rates but that might be it.

I've just phoned the secretary at Chorley and as I expected the best I can do is 3 signed in at Guest rates £15pp on Sundays.
I'm sure I can up there to play any other rounds midweek when required, or play over a few weekends.
The course is in Heath Charnock and its roughly 10mins from both Chorley and Reebok stadium junctions on the m61 or 15 mins fro the Standish Jct on the m6.

Juniors idea sounds like a good one, it should encourage those signed up to play in as many meets as possible with the top 5 scores counting.

I wont have time tonight, but if any remaining course descriptions/details/with member prices are outstanding, please get them in in the next few days, so we can do the vote.
Junior, I think we are best keeping to the five,soon to be voted courses, as this makes the comp a level playing field - we have all had to play the same courses. If Lymm is voted, we could split at least 18 into two 9 person meets, if you can get another mate also. That would do most people in 2 rounds for you.
I'll add the new incumbents with my next post.

That sounds like a good slant on it mate. We could have maybe best 6 cards to count from either playing at the host/rota courses or GM North west meets over the season? That will give everybody more options to put cards in and does add some flexibility. If people cant manage to get a card in at one or two places they can still be in with a chance on final day then.
We would have to tweak some rules up to make that work though.

This had to be cleared by the Mods' and when it came through it was a page behind so I just thought I'd give it a bump!

I'm at Reddish Vale and happy to take a turn organising something on a friday afternoon or a Sunday next year if this gets going.

Nice course Reddish Vale, I've played it a few times. The 18th isn't for the faint hearted though

I've taken on board the suggestions by Junior, but I think that normally it is a good idea, but again it wouldn't be a level playing field as someone who goes to say 10 meets(plus the OOM) would have an advantage over somone who can only get to two, then giving them their best scores from 16 rounds, instead of someone else who only has 8 to pick their best scores from. It would also not be fair on Valentino, being in Scotland.So I think we should just keep it to the 6 rounds.
Where possible, we'll try to keep everything as level a playing field as possible, so if we do play in an open and it's off the whites, the people who can't play on the day, will also have to play off the whites when playing there also (captains please note). If we have a mini-meet and it's off the yellows, so will the other stragglers play from the yellows when they play. Over 6 games the champion shouldn't have any advantages, so will be a deserved champion.
I think all the courses are in now, so I'll go first with the following (and I've changed my mind about 4 times). It is a very good standard TBH, and I think if this gets organised again next year (by someone else) we can pick the non-selected courses next time around.
I'll go with:-
Bolton old links
Preston
Reddish vale
Lymm
Davyhulme
Lee park (final day)
