There will be 7 nominated gents opens throughout the season of which your best 4 scores will count to give everyone a chance to participate in 4 events. The opens will give everyone a chance to play some decent course at a fraction of the green fee from the medal tees whilst the courses are at their best (well one would hope).

Events

I've spread them throughout the summer months and all on a Sunday to allow everyone to participate in their own medals should they wish. Some events may be popular and over subscribed so if they take your fancy then get in sharp. It will be up to each individual to enter themselves but I would suggest that we agree on a tee slot (within half hour or so) to give a chance to catch up before and after the events. Unfortunately some events will have a handicap limit of 18 or 24 but not all. There are other good opens available but not all are on a Sunday.

Event Details

If interest is good I'll create fresh thread for each open with links to the entry forms etc.

27/05 - Kingussie - Fee £12
17/06 - Deer Park - Fee £12
24/06 - Buchanan Castle - Fee £15
29/07 - Murrayshall - Fee £15
05/08 - Balbirnie - Fee £15
26/08 - Glenbervie - Fee £15
16/09 - Pitlochry - Fee £14

Finally, if every participating player pays a small fee towards a prize fund at each event (even £2 or £3 each) then I'll get something organised for the outright winner at a meet in early October.

I wouldn't like this to become a debate on how good courses are etc, I've mulled over dates and venues and came up with this, I think it's a good way for people to play regular golf outwith their own clubs.

Can people please post events they would like to attend to gauge interest. If interest isn’t forthcoming i’ll knock this on the head however I will be attending Buchanan Castle & Glenbervie regardless of what happens here, if the interest is good in the format I’ll be at Murrayshall, Balbirnie also and possibly Deer Park and Pitlochry

Please advise of your interest and willingness to participate.

There will be 7 nominated gents opens throughout the season of which your best 4 scores will count to give everyone a chance to participate in 4 events. The opens will give almost everyone a chance to play some decent course at a fraction of the green fee from the medal tees whilst the courses are at their best (well one would hope).

Fixed that for you!

Joking aside though, I probably wouldn't have played anyway...... ;)
 
Why wouldnt you play?

Not eligible for gents opens altho maybe I could butch it up a bit.....

Have struggled to be available for other forum meets due to other commitments so probably wouldn't have had time to attend enough meets for a league. Will hopefully make it to one at some point though.

Good idea to do it via opens, I'm only pulling your leg! :)

I might do Kingussie and Pitlochry just need to check if any clashes with opens i've already entered
 
Working on trying to get a decent deal at my place if anyones interested, we could have at the end of the season after Crail if you wanted, course would still be in good knick, just a thought.
