* M0NEY-AM G0LF DAY EVENT: 27 HOLES, INCL. SUSTENANCE & PRIZES (IN ADDITION TO M0NEY-AM SPONSORED PRIZES!) on: -
THURSDAY, 08 JUNE, 2006 *

So several months have passed... Based on the success of last Summer's Event at Longcliffe G.C., a few of you have asked me to take over the reigns from PTH and organise another G0LF M0NEY-AM DAY again based in the MIDLANDS. This is fairEST to the majority coming from all over the UK! From initial feedback (reflecting on 2005 36-Hole hot mid-Summer's day!), the popular view for a 2006 Event has been agreed, as follows: -

* Tea/Coffee on arrival.
* 9 Holes (4BBB 3/4 Stab.) Comp.
* Sandwiches/Lunch.
** 18 Holes (MAIN INDIVIDUAL (FULL HANDICAP) STABLEFORD EVENT) with M-AM and Golfing Prizes for Winners, incl. "Nearest-to-the-Pin" on the 9th. Hole and "The-Longest-Drive" on the 18th. Hole.
* 3-Course Evening Dinner (full waitress service), incl. coffee & mints + Prize Presentation/Mic. Table.

(** ADDITIONAL PRIZES from our generous SPONSORS include: - 3 months worth of Shares Magazine sent to the homes of EACH COMPETITOR every week. The Overall Winner will get The Money-AM Annual Golf Challenge Cup to keep for good plus 1 year's worth of Money-AM Level 2 service worth 357.50 + Vat. The Runner-Up and Third Placed Winners will each get a medal to keep plus 6 months' level 2.)

Venue: - H0RSLEY L0DGE G.C., Belper, Derbyshire (Championship Meadowland Course with American-type Greens). Refreshments will be in the On-Site Kingfisher Restaurant. Entry Fee is: - 60 per Competitor which will cover all of the above ** plus enough to buy some additional golfing prizes.

Or shaft the shark! lol :o)

Still awaiting MONEY-AM to invite all our posters to enter! Ian/Paul, may I ask what is happening here, as I thought you were sending out a widespread invitation a fortnight ago? Also are any of you M-AM people planning a last-minute entry yourselves?
If not, then how will the winners receive their respective prizes? Time is running by.....

Fliper, you have mail.

THE SHARK V FLIPER friday afternoon saw the rematch , the shark now hitting it 25 yards longer off the tee . A short game better than most . What chance had fliper got ? news to follow

Actually managed to play yesterday, so that's now four games in 7 months. Home on Saturday and straight into a Medal, following a long drive from Scotland. Should be able to break 150 :-) though.

So Markus is now hitting his drives 175 yds folowing his 25yd improvement? At this rate he will be able to reach the Par 3s in two! :-)

pth

PTH, 6 more comps. and you will be back up to 18, by my calcs.! Anyway you know my response to short-drive banter... Just show us yer handicap certificate, matey? :o) What's that old phrase: - "You drive for show and putt for dough!"...? So when you can get to single figures, Pete, then you can start taking the **** (only in yer dreams though!). LOL.

BTW Shark must have outdriven Fliper 4 times on Friday!

BTW shark you forgot to mention the result from friday. Horsley have a new flag on the 10 , its white with a picture of a shark on !

Hey, you were the same "up" on the final match hole as you were on the 10th. which hardly describes surrender, does it, Fliper?
On the contrary, shark fins were battling away right up until when the match ended albeit on the 14th. green (by '5 & 4')!
Well played anyway (+2 gross!).

OK, guys... Thanks to all of you [above] for your keen participation (and prompt payment!). But I am herewith putting a deadline on submitting entries. The Club have very kindly accommodated me alongside a huge Society Day and I am being asked to confirm definite tee-off times a.s.a.p.?

Therefore my deadline (duly stretched!) for additional entries must be, as follows: -

Online indication = 14 May.

Chq received = absolutely no later than: 19 May.

M-AM - sorry to be so precise here but I have done absolutely everyone within my power to try and promote this Event (even incl. a draft mail-shoot for you guys with promises yet to be fulfilled!). But tee times in June are being eagerly sought after (the Club have today been asked for another 30 mins. of tee-off times, I was informed, this afternoon!). So I cannot stall any longer.

* TO * ANYONE INTERESTED * PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR INTEREST **** NOW ****

Thank you.

Well done, marcus. We have the commitment of Ian Taylor to put out their e-mail this week but you are right to put a deadline on bookings. For anyone looking in, this was a first-class event last year; the location is very accessible and the course looks a fascinating challenge; the MoneyAM prizes are very relevant to the investor, too. I have booked in at the club so looking to some serious celebrations.

Eric

Eric,

Just had my computer rebuilt, so will dig out the text for the E mail and get something sent this week. Sorry for the delay.

Ian

Markus , nice to see a deadline . We can see whos partnering who

OK, thanks, Ian.

BTW since it appears that no-one from M-AM will be participating this year, how can the winners expect to receive their Trophy Prizes? Just thought I'd ask because I understand that Eric is already scheduling his life in a build up to the big day and appears confident of regaining his Crown!

After the Open Championship and, perhaps, the World matchplay at Wentworth, this is probably THE event of the year. Roll up folk!

Yes indeed, Eric. Your 1st. Prize last year was est. @ 550 + VAT (at the time!) which, I am reliably informed, actually exceeds the R&A's official "Amateur" allowance. So, technically speaking, you are now defaulted into the ranks of "professional" status. Mmmh... trust you will be playing of "scratch" in June then? :o)

As you know Peter Mc.Evoy designed HL's American-style greens and he was doing some consultancy back there several weeks ago... Some of the holes are going to be changed (and lengthened) so they obviously want to make it tougher for when Eric and the M-AM boyz arrive!

Markus , the new first hole at 597 yards off yellows is a long one , also the 16th at 249 yards with 220 yard carry over water is a good par 3 . Any other changes !

LOL, Fliper! If only we could play off White Tees in June - a lot fairer test, eh?

Mark,

I will be ordering the tophy and the medals soon (beginning of next week), and will make sure that they are sent up to you in good time for the day,

Ian
