Official Thread: William HUnt Trilby Tour 2012

rick

I would be tempted to send that in to the organisers, there is a simple word for it..... cheating!

Maybe they will kick him out of the "World Championship (of England and Scotland)" final.
 
i have always thought it was a cheats comp when i have watched it on tv,how many mid h/c players knock it 280 yards off the tee and get the ball to spin on the greens and have a putting stroke like a pro's,just seems to open to abuse.
 
I think unfortunately the entire competition is turning into a bit of a joke. As you say, there appear to be a lot of people playing off very dubious handicaps and now calling the final a "World Championship" is just laughable. It's all part of massaging William Hunt's already overinflated ego even further.

It's only an 18 hole 3/4 difference stableford at the end of the day, not even a qualifier. I played in it this year, enjoyed the day and got a decent outfit from it. Would I do it again? At £250 I could have a fantastic day out at Sunningdale or an Open Championship venue for that money.

I know which I would do next time....... Muirfield here I come!!
 
When I think of smug gits, William Hunt just springs to mind.

Can't believe the free publicity he gets off Sky, and clubs that are prepared to pay for the privilege of holding the events. I think Hunt must make a good wedge out of the £250 entry fee too. Good luck to those that play in the events, but I will save my money and play in some decent Open events for a fraction of the price instead.

They did cut him to an "unofficial" handicap of 8 for the final, they certainly thought something was funny. Having played with him in the TT Matchplay event, I hope I play that well when I get to 10.........

Transferred this from annother text as I had taken it off topic...




Paul LLewellyn won the Frilford heath event that was televised on Sky sports last night. It's where I played my event in May.

Region was asking me what he played off........


He was off 10 this year...........he was off 13 last year when he won at the oxfordshire.

He's currently off 5.8.........:whistle:

he had a 3 over gross in the club champs on Aug 18th to take him to 8.8

he then won the Captains stableford with 41 points to take him to 7.8.

Looks like he then had an ESR to get him to 5.8.

Seems like the handicap finally caught up with him, but not before he bagged 2 trilby Tour titles and the Matchplay Championship in Dubai this year ( where he fended of James Voce into 2nd place)

This was from the local Tamworth paper ....makes me laugh...


"Llewellyn won the men's singles title by ten shots from James Voce with 113 points, despite the latter firing an impressive 43 points (gross 68) in the final round.

Talented golfer Llewellyn then went on to cap a fine week by securing victory at a successful Trilby Tour event at Frilford Heath Golf Club.

Llewellyn, who was also the 2011 Oxfordshire champion, retained the title after a sudden death play-off."

I played with him in Dubai he was a 13 and its was obvious that he was a complete bandit. He hit a 3 wood 245 yds carried it and stopped it on a green!! The other guy in the 4 was a 5 handicapper and PL was ripping it past him on the drives.

What I found interesting was after day 2 when he had it (the tournament) pretty much in the bag we went into the clubhouse and when James V was calling him a bandid, he did not flinch. I thought that perhaps an embarassed smile or a feeble explanation might be forthcoming but no.....Just smiled and ordered his drink!

And I think we wouold be a bit naive to think that the organisers didnt know...of course they do!

Chris, i would appear to pot and kettle for JV to be calling the other guy a bandit, he reg shoots level pars in these comps himself and won a few with no cuts to speak of, so who's the biggest bandit there?

You are absolutely right about that.....but the biggest bandit in Dubai was unquestionalbly PL with JV a close second. TBH JV did not play well the first few days but on the last day was wearing his sombrero!
 
The whole thing is just one big cash cow from what ive seen. The organisers dont give a crap as long as they coin it in.

Funny how clubs and golfers in Scotland can see right thought the whole thing.

But it's the trilby tour and it's on sky and and and and

Load of pish. I predict this will wither and die within 3 years max. Your club golfer is beginning to wake up to the fact that it seems to be rigged and only there to make Hunt money.

add another name to the serial winners club!!

Tommy Muldoon won the Buckinghamshire event televised last night. I think he was playing off 15.

In 2010 he qualified via the Scottish event with 37 points and went on to make the play off final with 40 points at the Buckinghamshire. I think his handicap that year was 13.
All these stableford scores are with 3/4 handicap allowance.

He then went on to Win the Ireland event in 2011 with 38 points.

Now last night he takes another regional title. How come his handicap gone up during this time with all these wins.....doesn't anyone at the TT get suspicious?

I watched a bit of that this morning and was going to post about him.

Worste swing ive ever seen though, but short game much better than your average 15 Handicap.

Did you see him get up and down from the bunker on the last play off hole?

15 my arse;)

Should be ashamed of himself.
 
I watched it last night, very surprised at the swings of some of the low men as well.

However, the winner winning another regional event does beggar the question about his handicap, he's apparently well respected on the TT as a short game wizard so how come he's still off 15, wasn't he minus 1 or 2 in the playoff?

Apart from that, is it just me that thinks the TT outfits are appalling, I'd rather wear the caddys outfit:rolleyes:
