    You should remind them that the governing body in Ontario, the GAO, has allowed rangefinders in all of its tournaments.

    Not really a valid point. We agreed last year to not allow them because not every player had access to one. But seeing as how the carts are now GPS equipped, and some players grabbed carts last year, its only fair to allow others the advantage of seeking out exact yardages.

    I think the reason to not allow them that everyone doesn't have access is garbage as not everyone has access to all the clubs you've got Geoff. If they want to spend the money they can have a rangefinder of GPS unit. It's not like they're not legal anymore.

    Maybe not, but that's what we agreed upon last year to keep a level playing field. It was more the TGN captain last year than me. I don't think I'd play any better with a rangefinder, so it really doesn't matter to me regardless.

    Can I just bring a measuring tape if I don't have access to a range-finder? Sure it might make for a 9 hour round, but they have a beverage cart, right?

    Isn't the more important question "Are they stocking MGD at the bar now?"

    A very good question indeed, although hearing Lance get a firm no last year didn't really stop me from ordering. Hopefully they'll still have "a pitcher of whatever you have on draft", tasted pretty good last year.

    We can welcome another new body to the team. Welcome aboard Wilster, good to have you as part of the team. I'm sure you'll fill in nicely.

    I'm on record, the bat sign wasn't a shot at Jarred, I just wanted to use the Bat-sign. I think I've kept it clean since he requested it months ago.

    Unfortunately BogeyGolf has to remove his name from the spares list. So I'm definately looking for others that might be interested in playing in this. I am still awaiting a response from smithers40, but I still have 2 returning players I have yet to hear from and no spares in case they can't play.

    So PLEASE, if you are interested in playing in this, please pm me.

    When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

    I hate to do it, but an unexpected expense (someone smoking my car in a parking lot and not leaving a note) is going to force me to withdraw from this event.

    That's too bad Nat, thanks for the heads up though. We'll miss you.

    Spare list is updated in the order I got PMs. LobWedge, I didn't receive a PM from you stating your interest, but you did reply in the thread so I got you on the list. A few responded before you, but I may end up needing you regardless, if you are interested.

    The list of participants and spares is on page 4 of this thread.

    Change of plans. The deadline for notification of participation has been changed from April 23/24 to this weekend.

    Fallys has made arrangements with me about his interest in participating in this. I'm still awaiting his response, so a spot is still held for him. But habsfan hasn't been online since Feb 16, his email address I had no longers work. So unless he comes online between now and Sunday, his spot will be released to someone on the spare list.

    I'm still awaiting a response from smithers40, and along with Fallys, if they both can play, that would put the team at 16. So there will be two spots possibly available. And smithers40 told me he'll know by tomorrow whether or not he can play.

    So stay tuned for more updates.
