Another Trilby Tour bit of news for RickG!!!!!

So how does this work, who gets selected for the 16? Has there been a series of events and these guys have won through?
 
Put it this way, the clapping is straight out of a sound studio! he got some stick but took it well, and to be honest he played teh best golf on the day. I was gutted, but to get beat to birdies wasn't the end of the world. Putts just stopped dropping.

I'd have beaten Vocey ;).......he's run off to live in Dubai now, so someone else might get a look in.

G1BBO, have crack at the matchplay, for £30 you can't go wrong.

£30!!!! bargain

might do the pairs with my m8 off 9 aswell :)

Just entered the Singles Matchplay :eek: More a case of the experience and like the case its at your home club unless drawn away.

Would be interested in entering the doubles, anyone fancy partnering me?

Is it better to have a mid to low handicapper partner a higher handicapper so there is some competitive consistency but when the higher handicapper comes in with their shots, happy days or........is there no real threat from a higher handicapper as low handicaps will always come through?

We adopt this philosophy in our B-Team games where I tend to play with a 12 handicapper or less and we win our fare share of matches.
 
was just watching this again and i noticed that in the Llwelyn s Voce game the com said Voce geta shot here!!! how does a 6 handicapper playing against a 10 geta shot???

I also noticed "short Game Wizard" Muldoon was down to a 14 handicap from the 15 he was off in the final a few weeks ago!
 
No, ...much better to have 2 bandits. :D

absolutely!

I believe that without being more specific about the way a player plays it's daft to consider it purely on handicap ie you can have a consistent 8 handicapper in the same way as you can have a consistent 18 - you can also have players off both those handicaps that will have 1's and 3's on their stableford rounds more than a (boring) set of 2,2,2,2,2,2,2,...
 
just laughing (wincing) at some of Voces post win comments:

"I am competitive and ruthless"

"Matchplay is my favourite type of golf. I have played in The Matchplay Championship and did quite well. I have also played in the Volvo Matchplay, I managed to win that too!"



"just moving to Dubai, it has been great- I played the Earth Course out here which is a beautiful course, I managed to win the corporate day which was being held. I then got invited to play at the Abu Dhabi National Course too!"


"William I’ll see you next year.. I’ll be back to defend my Matchplay title, and I want my TT world title back, I won't rest until I do."




the man is a serial trophy hunter........all off the same 6 handicap as well.
 
Some more quotes.....

“To win the Trilby Tour in front of the cameras is a once-in-a-lifetime experience"...........not if you do it 5 times!!

"What I like most about the Trilby is that there is a genuine field, and by that I mean you don’t get a runaway winner with 45 points. In fact I don’t think I've seen anyone above 40" ..................I should hope not off 3/4 handicap...

"I’m self taught, never had a lesson in my life – I’m out there with Bubba! "
 
wonder where 's a memeber and how many qual he's played in the last few years, the barest min iwi

doesn't need to play any - just chuck in 3 supplemental cards a year... but let's not get onto that one because it really doesn't matter what the mechanics are, only whether he's made an appropriate effort to ensure his handicap is a true reflection of his playing ability, or whether his club has (and I think we all agree that his TT performances over the years hint that this isn't the case :))

quick google says Gorsty Hill - I've got country membership there due to moving down to London after April - I know a few people who have full memberships there might do a little bit of noseying round! handicap list says 5.3 when I've looked just now!

looks like he's manage to get cut 0.2 then, as every time i've seen him on tv they say he off 6.

wasn't he also a member at one of the venues he won at?

wonder if you can get a handicap breakdown for him on HDID, can't myself as my club has its own system

Because I'm registered to Shooters Hill on HDID I can only get the same info as anybody else on there unless I add him as a friend! Anyone can have a quick scoot round the competition results and have a look to see if he played!

Curiously Gorsty seem to have dropped my handicap to 4.3 not sure on what grounds as I only played one comp there before moving south and that was definitely 0.1 increase!
