Good evening Ale trailers :)

Has anyone got any Opinions/ideas on the prize pots for the weekend? We've thrown a few ideas about, we're thinking that the overall Weekend ŵinner is the player with the highest 2 Stableford scores. but other than that and to keep it interesting for those only playing 1 day how about splitting the cash prizes into the 3 days.
The Downside to this though is that the overall weekend winner could possibly win nothing other than the trophy if they won with two 2nd places. (Fine by me though )

We're open to ideas, but personally I'm thinking 'keep it simple' as regards rounding the amounts on the day, Because I'm also thinking juggling Spare change/coins etc in the morning after a night on the ale trail is likely to mash my tiny brain. :thup:

We're not looking to make it too expensive but what do we think is a reasonable amount for each day if we go for the 3 day split.
Any ideas welcome Chaps.

Just a suggestion.......£5 or £10 a man, and donate the prize fund to the H4H. Ale trail trophy for the best combined stableford over the Saturday and Sunday. The groups on the day can always arrange side bets etc to spice things up.

Sorry mate, got your e mail earlier, but its been a witch of a day and I've been doing everything on the fly. Thanks for putting the post up :thup:.. I agree with Coolio. £10 prize pot for the overall comp, then 2-3 quid per day for the individual. Pay out on the top 2 places 7/8ths stableford (to keep it simple as the big prize is 7/8ths). Nae bother with nearest pin or longest drive. Should make it interesting. The only issue is if someone (ahem Junior) wins all 3 days and therefore the big prize as well? If everyone is Ok with 1 person possibly cleaning up then its fine with me..:thup:

Thats a fair guilt trip for the winners Andy!:D! I agree that the option should be there to donate, but I'd like to think we could make it optional with no judgement either way. People are paying a fair whack to play and might welcome a bit in the backpocket to take home to the Missus on Sunday..;)

Depends what time yer panning on getting there. The Living Room is just down the road from the Hotel, then theres a couple of good'uns on the river. Will do a bit more "research" on Friday afternoon, after the golf. What time are you aiming to get to the hotel?

Agreed mate. Thats why I dropped the nearest pin and longest drive. Those of us over for 3 days are in the hole for £19 (Im happy with that). Those over for 2 are paying out £16 and those over for 1 are paying £3. I'll be honest, any winnings of mine (shut up Scouse, it's possible!) will be in the H4H pot, but I don't want to pressure people into it..:thup:

Ps, any side bets are optional and between the players concerned.

I thought we'd be going in Reflex at 5:00pm and straight onto the revolving Dancefloor:D

Someone is going to look great wearing this..

Not after todays round. Every shot was hook city. I only broke 90 because of a few decent wedges for birdies and a nice 7 iron from 165 on the 18th to set up a par. If there's OOB down the left i'm in trouble...

Precisely my thinking... I've been watching youtube videos this afternoon trying to find a quick way to stop pull hooking everything. Some sort of K Move keeps being mentioned. I'm still in the dark to be honest..
