Are you playing at The Leicestershire Rick?

Are you playing at The Leicestershire Rick?

Is that course worth the day off Gaz?

 

[Smiffy]

Bugger. Now I'm off 12 I could play in both of them.
Just a shame there is the age criteria

I looked at this tour, good events and good courses with good prize funds.

The deal is worth the day off. £38 for 2 rounds with soup and sarnies in-between.

I've only played there twice, but it hasn't wow-ed me so far. It's very well presented, has interesting (if unspectacular) holes, but I've not walked off there thinking I can't wait to go back. I don't know why that is, just can't put my finger on it.
It's tough as well. A few long par 4's and no par 5's to get any easy shots back.

Having said all that, I'm going to play in it so I can't think it's too bad.

Only one in Scotland and its at the Dukes at St Andrews which is a slog unless you have a buggy.Pity as I'm sure it was at Turnberry recently

Worth a try Rob, don't wear your glasses and I reckon you could get away with it!

It's really well run Martin...good bunch of guys who love their golf.

I've entered a few now but actually signed up to the Tour for the first time this year and it's made a refreshing change from all the national run comps that I used to enter that were just full of handicap protectors.
I'm going to try and play in as many as I can this year. Top 32 gross and nett OOM leaders play in an end of season grand final.

As they're all qualifying rounds, (where the CSS usually goes up) it's a great opportunity to get the handicap down.

As did I.

Seems really good and nice to hear positive reports.

Think I'll get myself organised to play in some next year if I can.

Dundonald 2 years ago- seems to be less interest in Scotland. Maybe as there are many many comps elsewhere

Next year for me too, too much going on just now and with most events being mid week I ain't got many free holidays

 

[fundy]

Body in no state to commit to 36 in a day sadly otherwise would play in quite a few of these

 

[pbrown7582]

I played ganton last year joined up the tour on a post ryder cup offer booked in for pleasington and Woodhall. Can echo well run and good bunch of guys sentiments.

Never enterered any of the mid am stuff but agree its a great set up, just the dates don't work for me on most events, great idea though and some cracking golfers in as well.

Going to play the midland golf union one at The Leicestershire and maybe a couple of others, I have booked the day off to play in the one at our place but not entered yet.

Anyone on here entering the Logan trophy at The Northumberland?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Some lovely courses on the schedule. Shame my handicap precludes me from most!

I'll see you at the Leicestershire then Glynn. I'm also looking at entering the Woodhall Spa event. Maybe catch up the day before for a practice round?
