    Default What can we do better?

    So obviously there's been a couple of hiccups, and I was going to start this thread before I'd heard about the preferred lies issue anyway.

    This thing has got bigger each year, yet the running of it is getting better. Partly because we know what we are doing now, and also because the load is split between many people.

    What can we do differently next year to make it even better? What didn't work this year?

    ----------------

    I don't know what happened to the club putting pin & LD markers out on the Saturday, but that's what we need to happen.

    I thought the snags pre-game Saturday was a great idea, and we could probably up that a bit next year.

    I know we got away with taking our own booze this year, but does anyone envisage any problems with this happening next year, assuming a return to KV?

    I thought the best thing was that the golf wasn't the most important thing. Just getting everyone together was fantastic. I loved being able to sit around the 18th and watch everyone finish.
    The Pavillion was a great venue - far enough away not to annoy the other guests.
    And I think the byo won't be a big problem as long as everyone is discreet. I didn't see anyone there who would have policed it anyways. There's a lot more of us than them.
    If we can get a similar deal as this year it is great value too. The breakfast was very good, the rooom are fine, friendly staff and the course can only improve.
    Maybe next year we need a tee marshall so everyone knows if there are local rules etc.

    Club didn't do it on saturday cos no one asked. Someone was supposed to ...

    Don't see an issue with taking our own booze, as long as we don't take it into the licenced areas all should be good. No one got pulled up on it.

    I think grunt said that he had a carton under one arm while signing the paper that said you can't bring in your own booze at reception. Probably a standard doc that no one cares about.

    I plonked my bag full of UDLs on the counter just before I signed said document. The lass didn't bat an eyelid.

    yep, that's the smarter option. What they don't know can't hurt them.

    I thought the whole thing went rather smoothly, doesn't appear to be too much else that needs doing .... maybe just some fine-tuning of the pre tee-off stuff (groupings,etc)

    Other than that i think you clowns did a bang up job

    Without doubt the best organised Champs yet, just a few little things we can improve on. PeteyD's idea of a white board or something where we can put up any info regarding format, groups, etc... would be tops.

    Also if we could make sure all NTP's, long drives etc... are collected and maybe get all their locations put on a hand out which is given to each group as they collect their cards. This could be looked after buy the pro shop staff if given enough notice?
    I would be more than happy to look after this for next years Champs

    We are going back to KV so most of the thing that can be fixed were solved over the weekend. Before Saturday there was no real decisions (100&#37 made about NTP's and Long Drive holes Etc. Next year they will be set in stone. Won't be that hard to print up a little players info sheet with all the reqd data on it. Once it is in print everyone has the same rules. Easy fix.
    Nothing else needs to be done, a great weekend yet again!

    No wonder you swing like that if you can fit an esky in your back passage.

    One thing i noticed was that about half of the scorecards were quite ordinary. One example was a card that had three scores on it and the only reference to names was the persons first initial.

    Just because its not a formal competition card doesnt mean we should go about things half assed. A proper scorecard makes the job of working out the results much easier.

    I was probably one of the offenders on Sunday or part of it. Never did a card as 990B said he had it covered. I never looked at it after that.

    TS and I had both our scores on the one card.

    That's OK isn't it ? Both our names were clearly marked

    Don't you just need the total score? Therefore multiple scores on a card is fine.

    Yea multiple scores on a card is fine, as long as we know who they belong to
