Sorry mate - Trevose
Was on the original reserve list and when it was opened up on the 14th only two venues had any spots anyway. Now they've mailed me to say I can pay £50-55 to play a pre-qualifier. Only one winner per venue to go through to the regional event. No thank you. Is it me or is Mr Hunt milking this cash cow dry

don't see it this way Homer........The pre qualifiers are organised by the clubs and not by the Trilby Tour. Just look at it as playing a round of competition golf for £50 and if you win it you get the bonus of getting into the Trilby Tour for £50 instead of £250.
Personally, I think they have done a great job of promoting amateur golf on Sky Sports. How else would the likes of us mere mortals get an opportunity to see ourselves and other club golfers on tv......
Nobody is forcing anybody to enter these, yet they are completely oversubscribed every year, so he's doing something right.

I cant decide whether I love or hate the new 2012 bag.

Had an email yesterday from WHTT annoucing a New Venue.
The Nottinghamshire Golf & Country Club has been added and is taking place on Tuesday 10th July.
They are offering people on the TT already the chance to change venue, then I guess it will go out to all the people on the Reserve List.
So it looks like the next 100 people on the Reserve List should get the oppertunity to join the TT 2012.

TT 2012 is off and running after Thursday's event @ Trevose.
A surprisingly fine day, warm and with hardly any breeze. Pins were as tough as they get @ Trevose with a mix of medal and a few of the new tees that were put in for The Brabazon. Despite the stick the TT gets, they certainly put on a good day and this was no exception.
Anyhow, thought I'd wasted time and effort to get there after putting the ball in my pocket without scoring on the first - a skied slice, a semi top, a toey hack, semi duffed chip all topped off with a lagged putt from 12feet!! FFS
Had the ball on a string from then on round the front nine, 7 pars followed to get me back in the thick of things. A sloppy bogey up the par 5 9th with only 190yds to the green for my second saw me turn in 3over par for 16 points.
Played the first 3 holes on the back nine as well as I've ever played them, had birdie putts from 15feet and in on all of them and managed to box the one on the 11th. with my shots on 10 & 12, that bagged me 9 points for that stretch - game on!
Three birdie chances to follow, short par 5 and two short par 4s!!!.........6, 5, 4 - four to get down from pin high on the par 5 followed by a 3 whack from 15feet!!
Another 3 whack bogey on 16 and finding the fairway sand from 17th tee meant another 2 shots dropped - hit six iron to 8feet and boxed that for a closing birdie to get me to 34 points.
Surprisingly, this put me in 4th spot with over half the field already in. Spent next 2 hours slowly sliding down the board to ninth spot with one group left on the course - top ten to qualify. The prolonged wait proved fruitless as two players climbed above my score to see me dip out on the final by one stroke
Great day with a bad ending which was only down to my sloppy sloppy play. Trevose looked great from tee to green but the surfaces were very poor. They have gone through a grass exchange programme on the greens after losing them a few years ago, it's not paid dividends yet!! Fast and bobbly is not a great combo!
The blow was softened by a fantastic evening at Rick Stein's fish restaurant in Padstow!!

Great write up, and so unlucky to miss out due to two good scores in last group, bet they were marking each others cards

what did you do about your handicap certificate, is a standard club issued one acceptable or do they insist on using the TT template one??

OK cheers, I'll pop over to the club and get one printed out. Seems a bit of overkill but hey ho.

Unlucky Robo, sounds like a case of so near yet so far.
Was it nerves on the first or not warming up?

Dunno mate to be honest. I'm not really a "warmer upper" generally any way. Bit of nerves on the drive but the real bad shot was the 2nd, perfect lie in the semi and hit a half top which ended up in a horrendous lie on a downslope.
The bogeys on 13, 14 & 16 annoyed me the most - pin high in 2 on 13 and took 4 to get down, 3 whack from 15feet on 14 and another 3 whack from 45 feet on 16.....Grrrrrrrrr
