Updated Söderby 2012 info

[KH]

Due to the fact that many seniors want to hit in the open as well I have come up with the following solution:

I will expand the open field to 64 hitters. 49 "open only" guys can register (4 spots left) for the open division. Then the six highest finishing seniors from the seniors competition will qualify for the open. That one open spot is reserved for a "special guest". That means we are up to 56 hitters. After the seniors event we will run a qualifiier for the open for eight spots to get the field up to 64 hitters. This way the rules are the same for each senior, no matter American or European.

This is how the fields look right now:

Andreas Persson
Johan Muller
Justin Schäffer
Ceejay Hellström
Lars Göransson
Jimmy Olsson
Alexander Boltenstern

By the way it looks like we are looking at an open purse somewhere around $23-24.000 

[The-lefty]

The purse for seniors ?.

[KH]

A good question! Obviously all the entry fees and then maybe some free sausages from 7eleven??

[KH]

THE OPEN FIELD IS FULL.

I thought I already explained this to you on facebook brother....................

Check out the general forum, all the seniors that you see on the list stand on ther same line - and wether or not they like it they respect my decision and like the fact that everyone stands on the same line.

Vincent got the spot to the open because first I told him to qualify just like anyone else - and he was cool with it. If someone, the defending open champion (him) should have gotten mad about it. He didn't, he wanted to play by the same rules as everyone else. Had he started whining about it he would have been in the seniors just like everyone else, but he respected and understood my point in this so I decided to show him some respect back.

Call me stupid, standing on same line?? What´s that?
I don´t mind qualifying at all. I will be fine with that mate, no probs there

It´s all the same to me, just wanna hit as many times as possible along with all my great longdriving friends.
I am sure you know what you are doing, It´s gonna be fun!

Love and Longdrives,

JT
