Hi all,
I am writing you today as the date for the third anniversary of Andyson's passing approaches us and our friend Paulton, who has for the past two years put together a wonderful golf tournament in Andy's memory, seems to have taken a break from the game and there is no indication (after speaking to the current owner of the Grande Oaks GC) that he will be coming back to set up an event for this year.
So, I'd like to reach out to the community and try to find some players that might like to help carry on Paul's tradition and put together the "3rd Annual Andyson Memorial Tournament".
I'm not suggesting I can put this event together (because I have no idea how to do this) but I'm definitely willing to to help anyone that wants to take charge.
Any takers?
MC

I've been thinking of a way to allow mobile players to participate. As of right now they can enter for stroke play but match play they can not do. I thought about a side by side  stroke play tournament, but as there is no way to verify they played round using mobile I rule that out. Could make a single stroke play tournament for all to enter but match play is what wins the andyson memorial trophy.
Here is what I came up with. (and with only 6 days left till sign up)
Mobile players will have to state they are playing mobile and must have the ability/know how to post a screen capture of their score card (as will any PC player who plays them in elimination rounds)
stroke play rounds remain same 1st score shown in score history, in week of round of course is score (and must match score posted in andyson stroke play thread
elimination rounds-  would be much like stroke play round first score of that course in play history would be the one that counts any mobile players in it and their opponent would then play a stroke play ranked round of the course and post their scorecards. I could then determine who wins holes and determine a winner, in the event scorecards show AS after 9 I will determine winner on who wins a certain hole(if score cards are identical -same score every hole ,then a coin flip will determine winner)
Its not the same as match play but i think it could work so any input from past players or mobile players interested in playing as to their thoughts would be appreciated
