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

[duncan mackie]

Anyone can have a quick scoot round the competition results and have a look to see if he played!

he plays in most of the Q comps, and handicap has varied between 5.3 and 5.8 from what I've seen.

only interesting scores were a series of holes in Captains Day where he shot 3 birdies and an eagle in 5 holes....the rest looks 'normal'!

He obv does not have that killer instinct on his home course

Those 4 holes are all reachable in less than regulation for a reasonably long single figure golfer - holes 7 through 12 are where you make your score round there! 12 is practically a guaranteed 3 pointer!

Don't forget his 2 over gross round that included 2 treble bogies!!

They wouldn't have been near the end of the round would they?

missed that one - unless you are referring to the Autumn Stableford in which case he ended up a little over 2 over SSS with the 2 trebles

If he's Cat 1,then why doesn't he man up and play scratch matchplay ?
Never seen or heard of the bloke until i read this thread,sounds and looks very smug.If he wandered near a water hazard whilst in my company,i think i'd be tempted to shove him in.

He'd probably walk across it.

It may just have been the way the footage was edited but it looked a lot like Hunt walked with Voce where possible.

i think you already have the answer there. he like to have that 6 shot cushion, which makes hi hard to beat handicap wise.

it looks like he enters all big handicap comps, maybe we should enter him for some scratch events

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I think it is fairly apparent to a lot of fair minded golfers on here that he is creating a "reputation" and that can't be all good for the TT. I have no doubt he is an accomplished player but his strike rate at the really big events must be on a par with Tiger in his pomp. Dubious

I don't get it, I'm off a similar handicap to him and I'm not interested in handicap events. Virtually all the opens I play in are scratch. I'm not good enough to win any of them but I want to test myself against the good guys to see how I compare.

I agree, he should be going up against the big boys.

Can someone not email him a link to this thread?

Probably just shows the kind of bloke he is really

not sure I understand this comment at all?

many of the events these poster's are referring to have an entry qualification of 5 and below, with the good ones being oversubscribed and balloted.

the person you are referencing has had such a handicap briefly in the latter part of 2012 and wouldn't have been able to get an entry into most events let alone actually end up entered!

that they, and you, don't give such matters any thought seems increasingly unsurprising in such threads - shame.

There's no way that he holds a true handicap and keeps on winning in these events every year. If he bothered to play in comps at his own club his handicap would no doubt come down and then he would be able to enter such events you mentioned.

have you read the recent posts??? he plays most of the weekend events at his club...

you quoted a post about his not entering elite amateur open events and I explained why that wasn't as likely as the poster you quoted suggested.

I was making no reference to the suitability of his current, or past, handicap - but neither were you in the post I queried.

 

[G1BB0]

has anyone thought that he handles the pressure better than the rest? He is obviously half decent off 6 and didnt win the main even as that was won by a 1 h/c!

if he scores 36 points off 3/4 so 4.5 (5) he is only really 1 shots under h/c which I am sure a lot of you low single guys can do fairly regularly aswell as the horror rounds way above or in buffer.

I dont personally know the bloke so wouldnt judge him as a person just on his TT record.

I watched the programme, whilst on my sick bed, with an open mind . It didn't stay open for too long, there were 16 and 18 handicappers with better swings than a lot of single figure guys I've seen, and then the "usual suspects" were hitting the most magnificent shots on a course that wouldn't have been easy I felt. Players coming out of bunkers stone dead and being described as short game wizards but playing off handicaps that should suggest that short game lessons might be a help.

It all looked like your local charity match where half the field are genuine and the other half don't have true handicaps and say that "I guess I should play off 20 as I havn't played in ages" then go out and clean up!

I wouldn't waste my hard earned on it!
