Not that I have seen. In the Members Corner on the Trilby Tour website it's all been hush hush, not even a rumour has hit there!
Will just have to wait until the 31/01/12 for the announcement.

Reeeesult!! I'm definitely in the 2012 comp.
I just rang TT and asked about my status on the waiting list. I couldnt understand why I had 2 entries for 2012 and one of them said waiting list so I gathered I got there late. However I was a complete knob and actually paid my deposit twice. So I'm in and carried my other entry over to 2013.

Congratulations sawtooth!
I got yet another email from WH Trilby Tour stating that the Venues/Dates will be announced on 31/01/12. They are also shouting about this from the Official TT Facebook & Twitter Account.
So this time in 2 weeks we will have the choice of Venue & Date

I've still got fingers crossed there will be an Irish venue!

I think one of the venues could be back at Foxhills, Surrey where I went last August. I heard from a good source that they will switch it to the Longcross this time which I think is even tougher.

Could you pm it to me as I need to make plans.
I too just don't get the whole thing....paying all that cash to play on jobby courses (epec up north) and get dressed up to look like a right William Hunt??

too right Dodge, that's half the cost of my Nairn Membership, to play some mediocre course and wear a butchers hat.
Maybe we are just spoilt for golf in scotland

I thought I was the only one that thought that way. Money making vehicle for William Hunt. All that free advertising on Sky, and I am sure he makes a good few bob out of each entrant. Do the courses pay him to be featured. Judging by the fact that most are run by Corporations I think they must, or at least not charge.

On the face of it £250 seems quite expensive - well it is really but not overly so.
You get to play a nice course, Foxhills for example in high season is probably £70 for a visitor. You get a meal afterwards, I think you might also get lunch. The trousers and shirt are excellent quality but you do need to stay away from the garish ones. I think the retail price for these is around £200. The belt you would use again but not the trilby. You get a callaway golf bag (ok you might not need or want it). A caddy suit and some other bits and pieces.
But I think most will agree the best part of TT is the experience and the challenge. If (and its quite a big if) you make the top 4 on the day you get full television coverage over 3 holes. Every shot you play is televised. The winner gets £1000 of clothes, suit, etc. The top 10 qualify for another round of golf at another very nice course "free" in the national final.
The overall winner gets a years club subscription paid plus comes back to defend next year, plays in a pro/am, and more.
So its not that bad for an experience that you cant really match any where else.

Hmmmm I'm on waiting list too. Think they are a bit pricey but we'll see what the venues look like.

As it is stable ford isn't there a danger of bandits playing? Is there a handicap limit?
slicer79
Challenge Tour Pro
Always a chance of bandits I'd say. Limit is 18
Scazza
Head Pro
Handicap Limit is 18 and it is played off 3/4. So max amount of shots some one will be getting is 14 (maths seems wrong :/)
Anyway, Big Day tomorrow! Dates/Venues to be announced, I had about the 4th email this year about the announce today and William Hunt posted in the Members Corner saying Roll on May, so looks like the 1st Regional Qualifier will be in May...... *Sherlock Holmes*

How quickly do the places fill? Would you need to be booking tomorrow or would it take a few days to fill up?
