shameless bump

the second yorkshire qualifier

It seems as if there are more organisers of the Yorkshire Qualifier than those interested in playing in it. (see http://www.golfshake.com/forums/view/7094/GS_Open_Yorkshire_Event_thoughts_feedback.html)

I thought the idea was to get a midweek event?

i was asked if i could sort anything out at short notice as others had tried but failed

i have done that with this event

but if it of no use and people are offended by me doing this then fine its finished 

I WILL NOT BE CONFIRMING THIS EVENT

THAT WILL KEEP EVERYONE HAPPY!!!!!

Hi Darren,

It seems that you may have misunderstood the tone and intention of my previous post.

The post was intended merely to highlight the general apathy that had surrounded the Yorkshire Qualifier right from day one.

As you may recall, the initial qualifier had about 10-12 confirmed players.  It was  cancelled due to lack of numbers and due to the fact that it clashed with the World Cup final.  However, the first tee time was at 10am and the final started at about 7.30/8pm.  Most people, if they had really wanted to, could have played golf and watched the final.  It was really a lame excuse.to cancel.

In my opinion, the problem was down to the location of the event, not the timing.  Yorkshire is a large county and to try to hold the event so far south was totally wrong.  Any players coming from say, North Allerton were facing a very long round trip.

Following it's cancellation, nothing was done to try to try to rearrange the event, so I posted on here to gauge the feeling of opinion.  I was also conscious of 'stepping on the toes' of the previous organiser. It was suggested that I go ahead and organise the evnt anyway.  I if anyone was interested and had about three replies.

It was then, after discussion with Darren R, that it was probably best to open up the CGL Willow Valley event due to the guaranteed numbers.  Again, I posted to ask if anyone would like to enter an alternative, midweek, event.  Once again there was very little response.   I feel that once the CGL event was 'opened up' as the Yorkshire Qualifier, any other event would have been untenable - afterall how many events can one area have?

So you can imagine my surprise (and others), when I saw your post regarding the Yorkshire Qualifier. 

My post was not meant to cause any personal offence, and I hope that this post goes some way to explaining it's intention.

Hope to see you on the course soon.

Cheers

Steve
