Söderby Event 2012

[KH]

Ok my fellow European hard hitters! Time to start planning next year's Söderby event and the purpose of this post is to see who is plannning on coming over. I am probably gonna stick to 48 man field and wanna give all the Europeans a chance to show their interest/register before the rest of the world.

Quick facts will look like this:

29th of June PRO/AM (friday)
30th of June ladies + seniors (saturday)
1st of July OPEN (sunday)

Prize money: $20.000 (12 guys get paid)

Entry fee: $300 (2000kr)

NO QUALIFICATION.

Let me know if you want in so I know about how many spots I have for the rest of the world.

Thanks.

Kari.

Not sure how everybody that runs events in the states or around the world do it, but I think that you should be allowed to compete the year you turn 45 or 50 or whatever. Just ask Vince Howell or Tony Nilsson. I think Vince actually turned 47 before he was allowed into Worlds because of his birthday and changing of dates. I think he celebrates very late October, 1st year eligible he turned 45 a few days late. Next year they changed dates to November and he actually turned 47 before the event. At Orresta it will be like regular golf, the year you turn 45 or 50 if we run that division.

Not giving you a hard time Kari , just trying to look out for the poor sods that have a late birthday and maybe have a discussion that the rest of the LD world will follow suit on. What do you all think?

Lets set the rules right now - what APG's decision on this? If it's enough that you turn 45 during the year (even though you might be 44 at the time of the event) and that is the ruling then I will go with that.

That sounds fair to me.
