IS THERE A NEED FOR LADY PRO ONE OR TWO-DAY COMPETITIONS OUTWITH THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR SET-UP?
   
THE EDITOR is conducting market research to find out if there is a need for lady pro competitions outwith the Ladies European Tour and LETAS circuits.
These unsponsored competitions would also be open to low-handicap female amateurs who want to measure their ability against professionals.
My feeling is that while male pros have several layers of tours below the European and Challenge Tours, for the ladies, it is either the LET or the LETAS .. or you are out in the cold for most of the year.
Grateful if any interested parties would E-mail their answers to Colin@scottishgolfview.com to the following questions:

1 Would you play in an event with a £100 entry fee and one in which all the entry fees go into the prize fund, i.e. 20 entries @ £100 would have a £2,000 prize fund (winner would always be guaranteed half the total); 30 entries at £100 would have a £3,000 prize fund (winner £1,500) and so on?

2 Would a one-round, one-day event, which would cut overnight accommodation costs, be more popular than a two-day, two-rounder?

3 To cut costs, the competitions, certainly at the outset, would be in the Aberdeen area and perhaps only one a month. Would the travelling involved put you off entering unless the venue was nearer Scotland's Central Belt?  

4 Would you be prepared to pay a higher entry fee, say £200 a competition, to make the prize fund twice as big?

+Your replies will not be made public. Only an overall view will be taken at the end of the research.
