Invite to play (North Yorkshire)

Hi everyone,

You may have seen my recent post regarding a golf league i am organising in the York & District Area. I have alot of people interested in the League, but we still have room for more golfers to take part. Here is the format:

The Format

• Open to individual Golfers of all abilities, male or female.
• The league will run for 9 weeks starting in June 2011.
• The scoring will be stableford to ensure all abilities can play in the League.
• It will be played over 9 holes on an evening (night to be announced), using half handicaps.
• Your Stableford scores will be added together each week and the league update. Please note we will only use your best 7 weeks scores. The reason for this is 1. If you have Holidays planned then it will enable you to miss 2 weeks wit out losing ground in the league 2. If you play all 9 weeks then it will allow you to have a couple of bad game weeks without effecting your position in the league.
• Also there will be bonus points available on the evenings. An extra 3 points for the Golfer who gets nearest the pin every week. 1 bonus point for any golfer scoring over 15 stableford points for the week. 2 bonus points for any golfer scoring over 18 stableford points and 3 bonus points for scoring over 23 points. (Please note these figures may alter slightly before the league starts).
• An extra bonus for any golfer who gets a hole in one on the night will get an extra 10 points added to their score for the evening.
• Evidence of your handicap will be needed to ensure the league is run fairly.

Prizes

• This is a brand new league so the prizes will not be holidays to the Algarve or anything like that, not this year anyway, but we do hope to provide something like this in future years. There will be trophies for the top 3 places on the league.
• And of course the obligatory wooden spoon for the bottom player, just for fun.
• Plus as a bonus prize for the top 3 golfers is free entry into next year’s league.

Cost to Enter

• It is just £5 per person for the season to register with the league. (this is to be paid before the league starts)
• Additionally each Golfer will need to pay the green fees for the course, this will only be £5-£7 per game you play in. (this is paid only on the night’s you play in) 

Please message me if you are interested or pass this info on if you know of anyone who might be interested. Or click on this link to view the group and request to join. Please feel free to join even if you cannot take part in the league because there will be plenty more events organised that you might be able to take part in, http://www.golfshake.com/group/view/3792/ ;

This is going to be a great social league and a fantastic way to spend a summers evening.          Regards - Martin Alderson-Crombie     

Good luck Martin, sounds like a great idea.
