KENT PEARSON TROPHY 2020.
Covid-19 newsletter 10th July 2020.
Dear Ladies,
I am writing to you following a recent online meeting of The Pearson Trophy Inter County Management Committee.
We send you our best wishes and hope you are all safe and well during the Covid-19 pandemic.
We hope you are beginning to play golf again and get some normality and routines back into day to day living. Golf is one of the sporting activities that can be played in compliance with Government and Governing body advice regarding safety. We hope you will be interested in entering this competition for the coming season.
We must put safety first and be flexible this year regarding aspects of the competition but with your patience and understanding we think it is possible.
We would like to invite all Kent Golf Clubs to enter, irrespective of any previous withdrawals as want to be as fully inclusive as possible.
If you have not entered before, you might decide to give it a try this year.
Thank you to the KCLGA and our KCLGA Secretary for kindly agreeing to send this information to all Kent clubs.
Competition Format - Covid adjusted rules.
The principles of the Competition are:
* it will run in a simplified format. (eg: A Striaght knockout, or localised round robin)
* 5 persons in a team(fewer people and less travelling to reduce the risk of transmission of the virus)
* Cost to enter will be £20 aslast years competition was cut short and this year there will be fewer matches.
* extended playing time ( matches will start from 19th October 2020).
* Teams that reach the finals will be expected to field 7 players and abide by full Pearson Trophy regulations.
Before we can determine the format I need to know how many teams we have and the demographics of the clubs invoved.
I have attached entry details and ask you to pay electronic transfer and this must be received by 31st August 2020.
We have extended the playingtime and matches can start from 19th October 2020. I will endearour to get the format out to you during September so you canstart organising matches, but timings may have to be flexible-we have built in the extra capacity as we will probably need it for a host of reasons.
I am sure there will be some questions, but hope this information will suffice for now.
Lets try to stay safe whilst keeping the tradition of this fantastic competition alive.
Many thanks
