    Someone asked in another thread about a 'starter clubs and balls' tournament.  There are a lot of tournaments going on at the moment, but most seem to be for the top players of the game, so I am prepared to run a starter clubs/balls tournament for anyone who wishes to enter, no restriction on tier or level.

    The tournament will be limited to 64 entries and be run on a knockout basis using a random draw for the 1st round match-ups.  The tournament will start as soon as the places are filled, and once I have figured out how to do a tournament bracket.  All games will be played in practice mode so that certain tees can be selected, and each round will be on a different course and played over the full 18 holes.  The only clubs that can be used are the normal starter set that comes free of charge when you first joined the game.  No beginner equipment allowed, including the putter (it is unfair as newer players don't have beginner equipment).  Starter Plus clubs will not be allowed either as they are pay-for clubs.

    If we don't get 64 entries, then some players will get a bye into the 2nd round.  All rounds to last no more than one week (Monday morning to Sunday night), although I am prepared to be a little flexible as it is holiday season... so long as people don't abuse the privilege.

    Thank you to everyone who has donated prizes.  I will draw up a list of things in due course for which prizes can be won.

    If anyone is interested in playing, please sign your name here in this thread and I will collate all the names in this first post.  Any questions, please ask and I will try to answer.  I may not have thought of everything yet, so questions are welcome, but everything will be finalised before the tournament starts.

    Thanks for the prize donation g, much appreciated.  I've already signed up on Challonge and figured out how to run it, but thanks for the offer.

    As a few prizes are being thrown in, if the donators agree, I will draw up a list of things for which prizes will be given, e.g. winner, runner-up, nearest the pin, longest drive, NTP in 2, etc, etc, depending on how many prizes we have.
