When do your Qualifying Comps finish?

[Lanark_Golfer]

When do your qualifying comps finish for the season? Ours is on the last Sat of September which I find a bit frustrating as the course is in fantastic shape well beyond this, in fact, I would go as far as saying it's perfectly good for comps all year round apart from serious weather like snow etc. Most other clubs around here are similar give or take a few weeks. I'd like to see qualifiers continue even just as sweeps till at least the end Oct as weather is generally ok till then.

We play them all year round so never.

Last medal in November then start again in first weekend of MArch

 

[Joff]

They don't stop.

As soon as the clocks go back in October and we go down to 14 holes.

Next Saturday is our last regular one, the greens will be blitzed the following week, September s a mix of fun comps, 5 club, Texas scramble etc, with a medal at the end and also one medal in October if the course is fully open.

Played all year round (although number go down in winter).

Playing on a parkland course the October medal is our last unless you qualify for the Medal Finals. Quite happy with that as conditions do go downhill quite quickly as autumn progresses. Add to that the clock change at the end of Oct and you couldn't get everyone off before dark if you played a November Medal. It also give the green staff more leeway in doing their winter maintenance programme IMO

October medal is our last thank goodness, then my h/c will stop going up .:lol:

 

[BTatHome]

September will be the last Medal and Stableford, then a few individual comps over the October/November period. Restart in March.

Annoys the hell out of me, as the course so playable for the winter time, and no reason to stop them.

October medal is the last original schedule qualifier every year although this year we have a rearranged June medal on 1st November providing the weather doesn't take a turn for the worse and preferred lies come into play.

 

[rosecott]

Qualifiers all the year round - only thing that stops us is if we are snowed off.

 

[NorfolkShaun]

Qualifiers all year round, the only difference is we run an order of merit similar to the Fed Ex cup idea and that ends the first week in October.

 

[Oddsocks]

All majors stop either end of October / early November until March, it goes to one monthly medal and one stableford..... But it's a nice time to get into the roll up and bank some cash, whole having some more relaxed games with good banter.

Also the swindle seems to be around 3:30/4.00 hours instead of 5 hour majors.....

 

[Imurg]

Medals finish at the end of October but Stablefords carry on all through - weather permitting
This was new last year and we only managed to play a couple - hopefully we'll get more this winter.

 

[patricks148]

Our is the 2nd weekend in October, but for some reason we have a gap from last weekend to 27th sept with nothing!

October

Ditto :thup:

 

[HomerJSimpson]

All year round although we do go to stableford only in November (no idea why). Only thing making it non-qualifier would be temp greens for frost

Ours don't stop, this is why I moved as I was frustrated that the course could be in great nick and yet they'd suspended all weekend qualifiers from October to April, so 5 months social golf!

Everything seemed rushed into the early months also when the course wasn't great in April/May. Plus, you'd have loads of comps but for no good reason they wouldn't be qualifiers :angry:

I'm now at a heathland course so I can pick the weekend comps I play in as their spread over 12 months and I have over 3 times more :thup:
