I would suggest that those people's handicaps are too high. CONGU studies would back this up.

I've signed up to play in 2013 will be my 4th straight year have really enjoyed the day but have never played to my normal standard. Only scored 24 1st year 24 2012 and 26 this year. The courses are set up tough. Have played with some good players over the years but IMO I think stableford suit the higher handicaps. The price doesn't put me off as I work hard all year and this is a treat to myself. I have my wife caddying in 2013 she knows nothing about golf but my old caddie new everything and that didn't help me. Plus it's my 40th so planning a dirty long weekend and golf. Can't be bad
I just think its too expensive compd to what courses you can play up hear for that sort of cash. Might be reasonable for guys down south but it just don't fly in Scotland.
Would imagine there won't be a leg in Scoland again next year.
As for dodgy handicaps, most guys are fine it just gives the impression that some guys who get to the final and shoot outs have suspect handicaps.

I played in it once at Bearwood Lakes. Would I play in it again??? Yes, if my game was fairly "steady" and it was a decent course. Unfortunately, a lot of the better venues have disappeared from the rota. I wouldn't pay £250.00 to play at Old Thorns for instance (in my personal opinion a bit of a goat track) but if The Oxfordshire, The London Club or Bearwood appeared on the rota again then yes, I would be up for it.
The qualifying scores that I saw weren't that great. 34 or 35 points would get you in the play-offs, and if I was playing reasonably well and had the run of the greens then a score like that would be possible, even for a knob like me. Like somebody else mentioned above, it's when guys come in with 45 points plus on society days that get my goat. I don't think I've ever seen a score like that on a Trilby tour event.
What ruined the whole thing for me were some of the silly little "rules", put in place by the owner of the train set.
If it was pissing down with rain you couldn't put your waterproofs on and stand any chance of being shown on the TV even if you had a good round. Why???? The event is about golf, not about what you are wearing. As long as your trilby is on show, why should it matter?? It's is the "Trilby Tour" after all!

When there is a reasonably large forum event, I can usually pick a couple of names that will appear in the frame. Does this go for them too Rick????

I guess it does, everyone should stand an equal chance of winning when they stand on the 1st tee but you and I know that our handicaps truly reflects our level of ability and, therefore, it's gonna be a really good day at the office if we win even a small event
