Play Your Best Grand Final October 1 - do you deserve a place?

[MikeH]

Hi all

Those who have followed the Play Your Best Challenge we have been running in association with PING will know the four PYB golfers are aiming to break their respective targets under medal conditions at Gainsborough on Monday October 1st

We want to invite 16 golfers who have also made some real strides with their game to join the four PYB golfers for the grand final day at Gainsborough GC and aim to card a personal best.

The day is completely free (PING are kindly providing breakfast, lunch, green fees and some prizes) so if you can make the date, email me michael_harris@ipcmedia.com with a few lines about any notable achievements this season and I will pick out 16 names to come along and enjoy a day with GM and PING

The achievement could be anything from breaking one of the targets we set the golfers 100/90/80/70, posting a new personal best score, winning a club comp, getting selected for a representative team or cutting your handicap significantly

Look forward to hearing some success stories as I have got nowhere near beating my target of shooting below 74 in a medal!

Cheers
Mike

Wow yet another great offer for 16 lucky winners. One to pass on for me, spent most of the season injured and not come close to even attempting any of my goals sadly (break 70, cat 1 hcap and play 30 diff courses), best of luck to those entering and ultimately selected

Well that rules me out then Now if you want someone with a handicap going the wrong way....

 

[Imurg]

Sadly I haven't done anything of note tbis season except shoot level par in a bounce game.

Anyway, I heard it's still sopping wet.......

 

[GB72]

Beware if you get an entry regarding 62 points around Sale Golf Club

 

[BTatHome]

Doh, gotta be the first day I can't make !!

Good luck to anyone going.

Application e-mail sent - fingers crossed. :thup:

 

[full_throttle]

No wonder GM is the UK's #1 Golf publication with opportunities like this.

Sadly I cancelled my leave for that week so I can do a golf jolly at Donnington Grove.

Wishing all the winners a great day, looking forward to reading the report

Hiya Mike , once again a great prize well done ..

Ok im gona wreck heads again .. airports near gainsborough please guys ... Looking on line it seems Doncaster ? anywhere else or am i totaly in wrong part of the country ?

[Whereditgo]

Doncaster is probably the closest you will get a decent flight to - Humberside is closer but very few flights in and out and always expensive.

 

[FairwayDodger]

Great opportunity once again.... my email's in the post!

 

[GB72]

East midlands is not too far nor is Doncaster.

If any one is travelling for this and wants a round on Sunday afternoon then I am happy to sign some in at my place which is half an hour from Gainsborough.

 

[richart]

Does winning the Cooden Fourball Better Ball Centenary Open with Smiffy qualify me ?

 

[Whereditgo]

I would suggest ANY win with Smiffy would qualify you.

Well, I had 15 Greens in Regulation in a medal at Bearwood Lakes, and the missed greens were by no more than 6 feet.

No need to mention the 38 putts, though. Still won the medal, though.

And my handicap has tumbled by a shot this year. Back to what it was for most of last year.

 

[Brookesy]

Unfortunately i cannot make this date But personally ive had a great year! Beaten my PYB target and im now down to a handicap of 8.6 after shooting +2 and +5 gross in last two medals! Good luck to all who enter.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Well I have entered, even though I was one of the lucky runners up on the Lee Westwood day and have probably used up all my luck for a fair while.

This season has been a watershed for my game

My handicap has dropped from 23 to 19.2 (it should be a couple lower still)
I have won 2 society competitions with silverware
I broke my original PYB target of breaking 90 in a comp(87)
PB has dropped from 88 to 83
Had the same gross scores as Imurg (hcp 5 ) twice

Played at Gainsborough when it was sodden and as a result didnt do it justice, would love another crack at it and to meet up with the other PYB lads.

anyway not expecting to get picked, just wanted to share what a great season its been

[patricks148]

i won't be entering as its just to far down south for me, but had a reasonable year.

shot my lowest gross and first sub par round of 69 on a par 72 course.

shot 74 gross around Royal Dornoch and a 76 around Carnoustie.

got my handicap cut from 9.3 to 7.

Really enjoying my social golf this year.
