Yep. Saw it.
And as you have to register an hour before your teeing off time that means I've got to be there for 6.30am at the bloody latest.
Good job it's only just up the road from the Sussex Coast
Cheap round at Bearwood Lakes this coming Monday (21st)

Surely you'll have to get there even earlier for them to do your hair & make up for the Sky Sports camera's ????

Bearwood Lake members got an email warning us that there would be lots of strange people with hats around on the 12th. OK, it didn't say it exactly like that, but that is how I interpreted it.

I bet you are quite gutted that you can't dress up like a tarts handbag Rick?
I was hoping to have a slightly later tee off than that, and had planned to stay the night before if I pulled an early one. But 6.45 registration???
They don't start serving breakfast until 7.30 at the B&B I had in mind

You're more than welcome to stay at mine the day before. I've got another player coming down from Yorkshire staying at mine together with his caddy (travelling from hampshire!).
We're also playing my course at 16:04 on the Sunday so you're more than welcome to make up a 4 ball as Deano can't make it now.
It'll still be an early start for you, but our kitchen will be open for bacon rolls unlike your B&B!!!

Appreciate the offer Rick but I've got my two kids down that week-end as it's their birthdays so we have something planned during the day. I was planning on cracking on up to the B&B at about 7.00 on the Sunday evening as it's literally only 5 minutes away from the course.
The last two times I have played Bearwood have seen me caught in traffic on the M25/M3/M4 corridor and getting more and more stressed by the minute as teeing off time approached. I was hoping to wake up about 7, have a nice brekkie and drive off down to the club about 8.15.
Now I'm shafted.
Thanks to that William Hunt William Hunt I will now be knackered!

Be prepared for either an early night or a snoring Smiffy about 9 if you have more than 2 cans of beer in the house

Plus I have another problem.
My caddy's wife is working nights on the Sunday and doesn't get home until 7.00am. Bearing in mind my caddie lives at least an hour away from the course it really is dropping a spanner in the works having such an early start.
If I lived 5 minutes away from the course I would actually relish such an early tee off. I love going out early in the morning. But the logistics of it all are turning this into a bloody nightmare.
I have emailed the Trilby Tour to see if they can give me a later tee time and should hopefully hear back today. But I don't hold out much hope to be honest.

Rick, if you live much closer than Rob, can't you swap tee times?

I'm about an hour 15 minutes away, but have to pick up my caddie. I'm already setting off at 06:00 otherwise I would have gladly swapped. Other thing is I have another player staying at mine overnight with his caddie and his tee time is later, so theyre already having to leave earlier than they would have needed to, (one of them's a Yorkshireman so clearly couldn't be trusted to stay in the house with my wife there!!)
Bit of a nightmare. Hopefully there'll be some requests to have earlier tee times that TT can accomodate a swap for Rob.

Took the bull by the horns and rang the TT HQ. Not a chance of changing my tee time, set in stone.
It's the last time I enter this pisspot tournament. The whole organisation of it from day one has been a joke.
I was told we would know the venues and dates by the end of November last year. When did we find out? March this year. You have to wear the trilby tour outfit you are supplied with at all times. If it rains you can wear waterproofs but you won't feature in any television coverage. What if it's pissing down with rain all day? No television coverage at all or are you supposed to stand out there in a short sleeve shirt and lightweight trousers and get soaking wet just so that they can see your ugly mug?
The guys who aren't teeing off until midday are certainly going to have an advantage where they can roll up at 9.00am, nice casual breakfast, an hour on the range and a session on the practice putting green before they have to knock off.
Why couldn't they have had a 2 tee start to give everybody an even chance?
And if my caddie doesn't turn up at least half an hour before I'm due on the tee then I'm disqualified.
