them's the rules G1BB0.....they are perfectly clear on all the literature that is sent out in advance and when you sign up...........and they are plastered all over the venue on notice boards in the car park and on the way to the clubhouse..........I don't have any sympathy for anyone that gets DQ'd for not abiding by them.....

It was only polite applause any way. Most guys hit a 7i as far as that drive.

Oh, I won't mention the full on 6i from 131 either. That can remain between you and me. I would never tell a soul. Discretion, all part of the service.

You're spot on Rick but the thing that bugged me a little was the delight that he took in broadcasting the fact that he had already DQd x amount of people.

They also state that the R&A rules of golf & etiquette will apply.....2shot penalty for upto 5mins late???

 

[Region3]

It's not just late for your tee time though is it.

They (he) insists you are on the tee 20 minutes before your time or it's a DQ, so that it looks like people are watching when it goes on TV.

Good luck to those playing caver sham Heath in 2 weeks, played there this week and it's shaping up to be in great nick! Greens were very slick already and I can imagine the pin positions only getting tougher!

I played last year at Foxhills - thought it was a great day. So signed up this year, playing Old Thorns, Liphook next week on Thursday. Tomorrow is my practise round - taking my caddie with me so we can both play it and get a feel for the layout.

I would recommend the event to anyone who has not played in it before. It is truly the nearest thing we as amateur golfers will get to playing like a Pro. The tournament is run very like a tour event, large leader boards on display constantly updated, marshalls everywhere - its really good fun. A bit nerve racking when the Sky Sports camera man is recording you - but hey, thats the fun!

Although I really enjoyed my day yesterday and I'm glad I entered it, I can't help but think that it is just a jumped society day. 3/4 handicap, non qualifier and not necessarily the right person winning it due to the shootout format. It is also a bit over the top with having to be on the tee 2 groups before you are due to tee off and the starter announcing that 2 million people are watching you on Skysports!!

I don't get the whole scenario of trying to put the competitors under as much pressure as possible, people are there to enjoy themselves not sh1t their pants

Just shout "W*NKER!" during your downswing and you'll avoid being on the tele :thup:

I played at Bearwood Lakes the year before last. I got to the 1st tee with plenty of time but one guy in the group behind us was cutting it fine getting to the tee the alloted 20 minutes before. There were about 2 minutes to go and people were calling for him but the fat controller was just strutting around repeating over and over again "just disqualify him, just disqualify him".
It's definitely the jumped up little prats train set.

 

[USER1999]

He did remember ricks black underpants from last year though.

Oops, there I go again. Hank Haney is nothing compared to me.

 

[patricks148]

I just don't get it !!!!

Prob why we don't have a scottish venue.

We can see right though the jumped up little tw*t money making scam

Who's the gimp in the boiler anyway?

And I thought it was because the wind up here would blow the Trilbys off....

I had a practice round there yesterday. They'll be plenty of 3 and 4 stabs on those greens thats for sure. They have to be the most undulating greens that I have ever played on and the pin positions seem unfair no matter where they are on the green. There are places you definitely do not want to end up because its nigh impossible to get up and down from certain places.

Whoever plays at Old Thorns can you confirm that a certain gentleman on the tee sheet called Matt Le Tissier is indeed the real legend or just an ordinary guy?

I didn't have to wear it, I brought my own.

Off to Caversham Heath soon on a reciprical and hopefully in a club match as well. Love it there and it is a good test. The greens can get very fast and I can see plenty of 4 putts and the odd one off the green if players aren't careful. Still won't be as fast as Blackmoor

Chances are it will be him, he's a keen golfer and still lives in the Southampton area. Great laugh on the golf course as well.
