Matchplay Championships @ Forest of Arden

A 4 pointer and 10 3 pointers.

Congratulations Tom Muldoon.....what a fine player you are.

Wishing you the best of luck in your quest to get down to single figures, I'm sure you are good enough to do so ;)
 
What does he win by winning? I've tried to find previous years results online but cant see any. Anyone know how many times he or others have been to the finals?
 
Don't know what the winner's prize is but a golf holiday to Dubai ain't bad for starters!
 
The course is 6,800 metres, 7,400 odd yards. Even if the ball flyers further you have got to hit it well. My tops would still go 100 yards on a good day.:mad: Wouldn't a 17 handicapper being hitting quite a few duffs that go no where ?

I believe that's the first time he's got to the Finals - in Singles at least.

Don't think it's the first time he's been to Dubai though! Certainly not the first time he's won a nationwide golf tournament.
 
8 over gross today....... :o. Off 17........:o

When is something going to be done?

This is televised on Sky isn't it? Seriously cannot wait to watch this one and the body language of his opponents. Will be interesting to see how the commentators handle it.....

I dispair at the handicapping system for games played away from the home club. He'll no more get cut than Mashley and I did after H4H West Hill. We put the cards in and it was decided that it was non qualifying and despite putting out everything etc etc the 8.8 it would have given me - it wasn't to be. Why would a Secretary be unduly worried about someone who rarely plays a comp on his home course?

I expect he would have heard that a member of his club had won several national comps and would've looked at the scores he has been shooting in these comps. At this point as handicap secretary I would expect him at best to have been exceptionally embarassed at having the wool pulled over his eyes

I suppose as long as numbers entering from the outset are not falling they are not overly bothered, its money & marketing and the golf and its integrity comes a poor third!
 
I'd rather finish last with an honest handicap to be perfectly honest.

Assuming the guy is protecting his handicap (he may have just played a blinder :whistle: ) and is well known for doing so I'd refuse to compete against him. I'm assuming he's not a high 'capper that's improving faster than the system can track. Also, it's my belief that people who are found to be protecting their handicap should be barred from comps and kicked out their club/union. Dishonesty in sport (and life in general) is something I really can't stand.

Surely his local union must be aware of this? Can they enforce cuts without the clubs say so? More importantly,how can you look fellow competitors/members in the eye if that's your modus operandi?


Bit of a rant there, sorry. :)
