UK GCA Singles Matchplay Comp 2022
« on: February 16, 2022, 11:23:40 AM »
Could anyone interested in entering a UK singles matchplay comp as in previous years, please make themselves known. As previously I imagine the initial draw might be in two halves, one for the north and one for the south, so it would be handy if you could indicate a preference.


Niall

And isn’t there a rule that if you create the OP, you ARE the organiser?!  ;)

Well said Tim and well volunteered Niall!  ;)


Please count me in!


If numbers arent ideal and it would help, I could probably arrange to play most of my rounds north of the border if that helped, as I've regular visits that way.


Cheers,


James

Niall - I'd like to participate as I'm going be in country late May until late Sept. If those dates work for me to be a participant, then please include me. If it would be cutting things too fine, then leave me out. No worries.


I will be based in North Berwick again this year, so I would be in the "Northern" bracket.

Thanks James, duly noted.


There are still a few well kent faces who have yet to throw their hats into the ring but hopefully they will do so.

Well done Duncan. Ideally we could do with 3 more entries to bring us up to 16. Any other candidates ?

I’ll have another go Niall and thanks for organising. North bracket for me please.

I think Ian also put his name down but isn’t on your list in the OP.

We could do with another southerner to balance things up nicely.

Agreed. If we get one more then we'd have 16 which would be an ideal number for the draw.

Good man Richard. I'll organise the draw with the help of a couple of able bodied Committee men (Whitty/Mark - expect an email).


I should say that the idea behind this is obviously to give GCA'ers the excuse to meet up for a game but also to try and take the road less travelled by going to courses neither have played before and then reporting back on them. If you can drag along a couple of other GCA'ers to make up the fourball then all the better.
