Irish Trilby Tour

[Mike_j_golf]

Hi,
Just got the email below back from the Irish Trilby tour is it the same in england where you have to enter before they decide on a venue, having to pay the deposit up front and then being told it is on the other side of the country is a bit much also they don't even have a date set.

We are currently taking deposits for the Irish Trilby Tour, where a £50 non refundable deposit will secure your place. When the dates and venues have been confirmed you would then be able to pay off the remainder of your entry fee being £200. Included in you entry fee you will receive a top and trouser selection from the William Hunt Golf Range (once available), trilby hat, official trilby tour belt, full caddie outfit and Callaway bag. If you do wish to place a deposit you can contact us on +44 (0)207 284 3257 between Monday to Thursday 10am-6pm and Friday 10am-5pm

The tournament is played stableford format, 3/4 handicap allowance, on the day of the tournament you will need to proof of your handicap, which must be 18 or better. You must be able to walk the course with out the assistance of buggies and must provide your own caddie who can carry the bag un assisted.

I paid my deposit months ago to play in this years competition and still haven't heard when the regional heat will be played. The promise was made, via email, that they would be posting full details of venues and dates on their website in November!!
My problem is that I work for a very small company, so therefore choosing holiday/days off has to be done very carefully. I have already committed to three other golfing trips this year and if the date they throw at me isn't convenient I am snookered.
I'm getting a bit cheesed off that they haven't issued any notifications as yet.

I believe they are still looking for venues, so they can announce them all at the same time.....

I know what you mean Smiffy, I would be in the same boat, unfortunatley there is a queue of people behind you that if you can't play then they will take your place, and Trilby couldn't care less who plays as long as they get a full field...

For that kind of money would have thought it would have to be a top course, K club, PGA etc. The date is obviously an issue but if you hear back will post the details and might be interested depending on course & date.
