Newly formed Midas Tour set for Blue Mountain

farnham john

Blue Mountain is to host a round of the newly formed Midas Tour on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 19-20.
The tour is designed to provide a stepping-stone for the next generation of Britain’s Ryder Cup stars.
Local faces on the tour will include Berkshire professionals Thatcham’s Brad Ryan from Donnington Grove, Bracknell’s Mark Pearson and Theale’s Mike Lowe.
The tour’s creator and pro golfer Paul Seymour said: “We’re giving young, ambitious professionals a stepping stone into international competition in a highly competitive, professionally-run tour, and the chance to win good prize money too.”
Among the tour’s star names is Paul Eales, who won the 1994 Extremadura Open on the European Tour.
The expected first prize at each event will be around £2,000, with a minimum of £1,000 if the entry is low.
* THE defending Blue Mountain ladies team of Mandi Byrne, Anne Pack and Melanie Cousins are through to the final of the NAPGC Mary Forster Bowl having beaten Haste Hill from Northwood 99-89 at Farnham Park last weekend.
Cousins was the top points scorer picking up 36 while Byrne scored 34 and Pack added 29.
They return to Farnham Park for the final on Sunday, April 27.
The club are hoping to make it a double with their men’s side due to take on Portsmouth in their semi-final on Saturday, March 29.
Members battled against gusting 50mph winds and driving rain on Sunday during their monthly stableford.
Despite the conditions there were some good scores carded with standard scratch lengthened for the first time this year.
John Loveridge (18 hcp) emerged the winner with 35 points while Andy Goddard (27 hcp) produced his best round since joining the club six months ago, scoring 34 points to take second on countback from Paul Walker (4 hcp).
Anne Pack (26 hcp) topped the ladies stableford with 37 points, beating Helen Price (18 hcp) on countback. Mandi Byrne (14 hcp) with 34 points was third.

    Great article, even though I thought it would be about the pain of writing the stupid signup forms themselves.

    That is in fact why it is most annoying. If it actually worked in decreasing spam than I might feel better about it. Oddly enough a lot of these sights will let mailinator.com addresses work simply because they have never heard of them.

    The idea is that people think that it is easier to create an account with a webmail service, but it really is quite trivial for someone to simply use a webmail service that you have never heard of before. Either that or they can register their own domain name, which is pretty cheap these days (often <$10 a year).Furthermore, even if their email address isn’t a free webmail account that still doesn’t mean you know who they are. I used to run a forum years ago and I found that it was rather stupid in some ways to even require registration. About the only thing that it did was allow for individuals to know that they were talking to the same person. It didn’t prevent spam and it doesn’t mean you have any clue who these people are unless they reveal such information to you.

    Then what is the benefit of using the Internet?
