Matchplay Championships @ Forest of Arden

[Region3]

I've just been reading the L2D T&C's, and the last line says players who have reached the grand finals twice can only enter at the discretion of the tournament directors. Nice

A much easier way round it is to have anybody who comes in with 40 points kneecapped.

:rofl:

Just watching his partner in crime Kevin Commins on Sky in the "world final" of Trilby Tour...these boys are good!!!

Love the way one of the finalists talks about 'we' I thought only Pro's talked that way.

Mapped the greens with his caddy! 😂

Yes, i watched that last night. Of the four players who made the playoff, i was really routing for that "Abbs" guy. Think William Hunt did not like the fact he was a 'newbie 'Trilbyturdian' and that one of his 'leg-ends' would not take the prize. Even funnier was watching Couzins getting advice from 'short game wizard' Mom Toldhoon'!! lad with breaks all mapped out, what hand cranker he looked!!

Yet you do aimpoint!!!!

That's exactly the reason I use aimpoint. 10secs read done. Not spending hours mapping the greens before

If I play in a big event and on a course I don't know, in the practise round I will putt 2 balls from the front edge of the green to the centre and see which direction the ball falls to if any, then from the centre to the sides, look where the high point and low points are on the green and note them on the strokesaver.

Is it necessary for me to do that when I do aimpoint, maybe not, but it's all extra info that I can refer to if I so wish. Like they say failure to prepare is preparing to fail and if it works for individuals who map out greens, like it does for Aimpointers and their methods over the normal green readers, then why not?

These big events you mention. Is the practice round played on a closed course, or are there golfers behind waiting for you to get off the green ?

Nah, I got golfers waiting in the middle of the fairway twiddling their thumbs while I get my spirit level out and making notes on the percentage slope of the green. There's a lot of abuse that gets shouted out, just like on here.

I have no issue with preparation at all but it's not for a big event. It's for the trilby tour. Not the English Am or the brabazon. They are big events.

The guy said he mapped the greens with his caddy. He plays in every trilby tour event obviously so he can get on TV

Scoring is pretty poor. Only one guy under par off full handicap. Forest of Arden isn't that tough, given the thinly veiled banditry suggestions I'd have expected to see some really good scoring.

The forest really doesn't handle rain well. When its wet underfoot the course plays looooooong. In the summer i play the 3rd driver, hybrid. Last week it was driver, 5 wood, 9 iron

Maybe that is his English Am, Brabazon event for him. It's a golf comp all said n done. Maybe he does that kind of preparation cos he wants to or that's the way he is? Some players are competitive, some play for the fun. Each to their own, no right or wrong way is there!

There is no such thing as a short game wizard off 17.

Especially one who always seems to clean up in the big comps, I know what I'd call him and wizard isnt the word!

Theres a recent thread on Mr Muldoon but just saw this post from a few years back,seems Mr Muldoon's been at it for a while,but at least his handicapps come down .
