I'm hearing rumours that this event has folded but can't find anything online. The website is down though so maybe it's true. If so, will it be missed?
Was not something I was ever actually interested in.
I was always a bit sceptical about the accuracy of some of the handicaps on there.
Loads of bang average courses at a premium price and you looked like a muppet with that ridiculous headgear.
Not a loss to me
I missed qualifying for the 'International' final by 1 point.
The whole idea was a good one and it started of on some good courses
Then someone’s ego took over and it was flooded with trophy hunters and bandits
The minute it became televised was the minute it became a vehicle to satisfy the ego
I don’t think it’s too much of a loss tbh

Agreed. Knowing how ridiculous it was made it gently amusing telly.Was never a fan until I started watching vids on YouTube over this lockdown and have come to quite enjoy watching. I think that’s because watching the guys - the pomposity and pretentions of a few - but also the expectations, mess ups, miseries and little flukes and successes of most reminds me of playing with my mates. I can relate to what I am seeing when I don’t when watching the professionals. Still didn't instill in me any great wish to play in it - especially as some of the courses in more recent years weren’t fabulously attractive or enticing propositions. But I rather will miss it...?
From what I saw on TV, to be honest the "personality" of the originator, and the unique daftness of the whole clothing concept, was the real driving force.
In all fairness, he came up with an idea and got hundreds of normal club golfers onto Sky Sports having fun playing golf, so I'm sure plenty of guys really enjoyed it.
Hats off to him (?) he did a brilliant job charging clubs in the region of £30k for the privilege of hosting his events.From what I saw on TV, to be honest the "personality" of the originator, and the unique daftness of the whole clothing concept, was the real driving force.
