I've had the pleasure of seeing him in action, and thats what it is. He hits the clutch putts when others (me...) lip out.

I've never heard of him before watching the TT the other week and seeing this thread. I wonder could some of the comments on here about him be down to the green eyed monster?
That said, he's done well in the TT so can't see why he still competes. Surely he'd rather get down to scratch than waste time winning handicap events? Almost every single figure golfer I've met cares more about getting cut then winning competitions. Getting low is the real prize, competitions are just icing on the cake.

This years winner shot 41 points (off 3/4 h/c) and then shot level par in the 3 hole play off to win it.

Earlier this month, shot a 1 under gross round at his club..............handicap?............ 9
The prosecution rests its case m'lord.
Ironically, Paul LLewellyn was commenting about the winners handicap on the TT Facebook page.......ironic or what?

I'm genuinely interested by this Rick. Why do you enter when you know what goes on? Not knocking, it's your money, but seems strange that you would continue to do so.

I was playing Rockliffe today where the final was held and asked the starter who won and his exact words were "some bandit from down south, apparently he plays off 9 but he's more like a scratch player"

I do think it's a bit of a farce but I wonder what you'd feel like if you shot 2 under par in your next medal? Pretty chuffed I reckon playing off 5 or 6, if you then went on to win the Trilby tour are you now a bandit?
The very nature of the comp means that whoever wins has had a 'purple patch', beating their h/cap at least 2 or 3 times on the way to the final.... so WHOEVER WINS is by default a bandit (are they not?). I don't think you can win it by having 3 rounds of 33pts can you???

I only missed out on the final by 2 points this year.....for me, getting to the final is about as good as I can expect......there's no way I could win it....for me to score 41 points, I'd have to shoot 1 under gross off the back tees, but I enter accepting that. I enjoy playing it and enjoy the challenge of trying to qualify with a valid handicap.....in fact I got cut a shot the week before my qualifier.......probably in the minority there.
Despite all the bandits, (and there are so many), I won't let it spoil my enjoyment. I just wish the organisers (and the players home clubs) would wise up to them....will be interesting to see how this years winner is reported back at his club......celebrated or will they be embarrassed?

But what if you won it the next year? And the year after?

See your point mate, but when did you last shoot 9 under your handicap (10th August, this fellow shot even par round his home course) then follow it up 10 days later with over 40 points playing off a 75% handicap (in a competition)?
I don't think it's for anyone to say whether he is a bandit or not. However, I think it's clear that he is playing off the wrong handicap and I would be pointing the finger mainly at his home club.

It would be interesting to see what happens to his h/c after it's now public knowledge he has shot 41 points off a 3/4 h/c and the course was set up pretty tough as I played it the day after off yellows which is around 400 yards shorter than the tees they played off.

Well a quick look on Twitter shows that his home course (The Shire) are rejoicing his victory, claiming that The Shire "breeds champions" .......... A look on his Facebook page however reveals that he knows he has been playing way better than handicap, but not playing any qualifiers.........hmmmmm......

Played in it once, saw what a total farce of a competition it is and won't be playing in it again. It's a cheats charter. I really don't understand why you bother with it Rick.
