London golf club meet 1/11/09- 31/03/10

Is this the same course that held one of the trilby tour events this year?

If it is I wouldn't mind making the journey down to see if I fancy trying to play off scratch round there later in the year :o

It is indeed, although I'm not sure which course it was that they played. There are two courses there, the Heritage and the International. My guess is that they played the International as the Heritage is strictly "members only" but I could be wrong!

I have been lucky enough to play the Heritage (courtesy of a member) but have not played the International yet. But my understanding is, both courses are superb.

As an aside, why would you be playing in the Trilby Tour off of scratch????

I was under the impression that although there is a max handicap to enter, nobody received any shots in the competition.

I don't know if I read that somewhere, or just assumed it by the lack of good scores this year.

Am I wrong? :o :D

I hope you are mate, or I am going to be a bit pissed off.
I have looked at the website carefully and nowhere does it state that you have to play off scratch. It would seem a bit silly to impose a handicap limit of 18 if everybody was playing off of zilch. It would be a bit unfair to the higher handicappers. I can understand it if it's 3/4's but if it's no allowance then I, for one, will be withdrawing my entry and asking for my (non refundable) deposit back. I noticed that some of the highest scores at qualifying events were around the 37 point mark, which would indicate a good round by somebody playing of 3/4's as I say..unless they are all 1 & 2 handicapped golfers????
I will send an email to them to see what they have to say and will let you know once I get a reply.

This years was Stableford off 3/4 h/c. Top 4 then go into a 3 hole strokeplay play off with h/c still applied.
I think it's the same next year.

Thanks for the info Rick. I thought it would be 3/4's. Should get the "official" line from the organisers today, they are pretty quick in replying to emails.
I'm still waiting to hear where next years qualifiers are going to be. Not 100% guaranteed it will be the London Club with the number of entrants this time around. I think they may be over subscribed and will need to look at other venues. Fingers crossed it's the London Club though, it's a great track.

Received confirmation from the Trilby tour that it is, as suggested, 3/4's handicap allowance Stableford. Max handicap 18.
Phew!!
Must get some cards in before the "off" see if I can get out to 13... ;)

I don't know where I got the idea from that it was all off scratch :D :D

I had you worried though :D :D ;)

Probably confusing it with the Trilby Proffesional event held around the same time. That one is played off scratch by budding tour pros competing for the first prize of £20k, a car & a Callaway contract for a year.
 
Ok lads a couple of dates to be considered.

25th or 26th Feb.
5th March?
18th,19th,25th or 26th March.

All dates are Thursday or Friday at present.

Let me know what dates suit and we can book what ever date the most people can make. Last year when i booked i had to pay in advance so i paid for a single player and then the others had to ring and pay seperate.
 
Hey Jim,

I am currently free on all of the dates above. Let me know what you end up arranging so I can finalise the day off etc.

Looking forward to it.

Cheers pal,

Rob2
 
But the Trilby tour are losing alot of the Europro lads because of the inclusion of Eurpean Tour lads. The end of the day it was set up to help cover sponsorship cost for the winner to play europro the following year......up steps a Phil Archer and wins!!!

Alot of lads not happy including myself. The clothing is poor quality and the event isn't run as well as it could. Shame
