I've come back to this old thread because John Oddys mention of a golf championship appears to have aroused a bit of interest judging by the number of posts all in 48 hours.
The joking references to a big prize to be donated by our moderators. A good laugh.
But, seriously, I have a 2 to 3 foot model of a golfer which I might throw in as a reward to the winner. But its worth a few bob, an exact copy was for sale last year in Mostyn Street for £100. I bought it for £80 through ebay and intended to use it for publicity of the putting green in the Happy Valle. But I changed my mind because it is fairly fragile, it wouldnt stand being knocked over very often.
Now I might throw money around, but £80 worth is a bit too much. When I first read about this idea I thought O.K. I'll go along with that and it will be free to everyone and lets all have a nice day.
But now, if it seriously gets off the ground, I could offer that as a prize but charge everyone (no favourities, no Fester climbing over his fence) the top wack price I charge which is £4-50 per person.
I feel a bit mean in a sense, but say 17 members came and paid, I would break even, no profit, no loss, but a good day.
