Race to Hillside Final - Thursday May 21st

Ok, it's taking great shape so we need a big push on this, 1 potential qualifier left at Seaton Carew if it goes ahead failing that we have 7 winners as follows

Pokerjoke - B&B
Rosecott - East Mid
HomerjSimpson - Blackmoor
RickG - Mentmore
Hobbit - Glasgow Gailes
PeterLav - Alwoodley
Upsidedown - Midlands

We really need numbers now for this with payments, £75 a head for this fantastic GM Top 100 golf course which is £50 off their normal fee, it's good value at that. We have 40 spaces in total less obviously the 7 winners so get your money to me ASAP to confirm your space.

Payment by paypal gift on bigvalgolf@gmail.com or PM me for bank details.
 
Can you still be eligible to win the finals day if you haven't won a qualifier?

You can win finals day but not the over all title, finals day will have a couple of sweeps going.

What's the difference, I thought the winners of each region was solely to win a free entry to the "finals day", meaning the winner on the day is still the title holder? Is the title only between the regional finalists?

Surely it is, doesnt make sense any other way to me but maybe I misunderstood

Yes it has to be, otherwise what is the point of running regional qualifiers, the 7 regional winners are playing for the main prize, for others that play its a regular Forum meet with other prizes and 2's pots and sweeps etc

I thought winning the region enabled you to them compete for the chance to win the overall prize ?
 
As it stands at the moment I'm not going to Hillside, but if I were I think it would be a bit silly if I were allowed to be in the 'main event' having already lost 4 times in qualifiers.

Just an idea if this is happening again next year. Any forum meets from this point forward with enough people paying a tenner to warrant a spot in next year's final could count as a qualifier.
This way you could end up with a better number for the final - wherever that may be.
 
Ok,, I just thought it was an open event on the day with the regional winners just getting a free day, I misunderstood, no problem.

It's a good idea bud, if I'm honest and if people are happy with me running it again I've had a few ideas already put to me which I think will work well. I don't want to clog this thread up but I'll stick a thread with ideas after the final is over.

Sounds good Val - hopefully will be able to make it next year. Shame I couldn't take my place this year
 
Val,

I may well take a spot to play if you're still looking for numbers?

Just need to check a couple of things but fancy another go round there
 
[/B]
There are 33 places to be filled so anyone wanting to play and wondering about availability then there's currently plenty availability

Will let you know ASAP mate :thup:

Only played it (horrendously!!) the once so wouldn't mind joining you, just need to check at work.
