Power Play Golf

I was just thumbing through the recent copy of GM and came across the bit on PPG Ignition. Didn't really explain how it is played so I came on here. Have done a couple of searches but haven't found anything so turned to Google. Found the main site and it just looks like a modified stableford, but with a mixed gender competition.

I've seen a couple of similar challenges on TV in Japan and quite enjoyed them. Does anyone here think it will take off, or just be a "quirky" comp shown a couple of times a year?

Haven't some pros like Monty, Casey etc signed up to play a televised version of this at some point in the year down at Celtic Manor

There was a big song and dance about a few years back when McEvoy first developed it. It didn't really take off but now they seem to have some big names behind it PP may have a chance.

Yep, Casey, Poulter and G-Mac have all signed up for it. On Sky sports 30th May I think.

Its a day or two days before the Welsh Open.

I think if you have purchased tickets for the Welsh Open you are invited to it as my mate forwarded me an email that he received as he has purchased the tickets for us.

Ash!!

Has anyone played this? It was at a local 9 holer a few years back. I didnt play powerplay golf, I just ended up going for all the harder flags and shot 1 under my handicap playing just normal golf.

It would be fun to do it, but as you can choose it also has the benefit of two 9s on one course as well as the powerplay golf option.
