And I assume from where this is going that your defense is no good if you start with "It was my opinion that..."

Aye.
Even if what you say is true, you still have to be able to prove it to defend yourself...

I'm pretty sure we all know the kind of events which are the subject of claims of banditry. If the big players such as Trilby could be persuaded to co-operate it might drive the "usual suspects" away or at least have the Home Clubs take some action.

But then I expect a lot of players wouldn't take part
A lot of people play in these type of events and indeed big societies because it's free of the qualifying status and having a card in the hand etc
TT wouldn't go near making the cards relevant because players would pull out
too right, get back to slagging off the TT:rofl::rofl:

I think the whole idea of it is great - a mini tour for Amatuers just having a bit of fun , it seems that was he whole idea at the start and they used some very good courses but then the deal was struck with Marriot Courses where you can play for £50 a round , the price is what £300 - what exactly in regards value are you getting for that ? So for me that makes it nowhere near worth the money they charge and then you add in the guys who clearly don't have a HC that reflects their ability and it's starts to become a bit of a nonsense tbh

I haven't read this thread from the beginning but i assume it will be easy for me to enter playing off 15?!!!!
I'm not convinced that making it a qualifier would necessarily drive numbers down. It's still heavily over subscribed at most venues and even with card and pencil in hand, I'm sure the lure of the clothes and bag and the chance to get seen on TV will still prove a suitable carrot to entice sufficient numbers to partake. If they know it was going to discourage some "characters" then there might even be more take up
Its a simple consumer choice though. If you don't think the clothes and bag, plus the media attention (Sky) is worth the additional money, leaving aside any dubious handicaps then don't enter. It has perhaps become a victim of its initial success. Let's not forget GM also used Marriott venues during their centenary competition so I wouldn't read too much into that. We paid more than the £50 but in my opinion was money well spent, even when you add in petrol costs/overnight stay etc

As regards to Marriott hosting the events, I do believe they are looking for new venues.

I would be surprised if any of the decent venues around the country would host the event because the price would increase a great deal

In my posts I wasn't suggesting them becoming qualifiers. What I meant was that organisers could make a Home Club aware of unusually good scores to be considered with other evidence on Annual Review. If the players have genuine CONGU handicaps, what do they have to fear - they will be judged in the same way as all other members. The organisers would then be less likely to have the accusation of "fostering banditry" levelled against them.

Can't see this Homer;
The clothes they make them wear are terrible, look like mid life crisis clothing.
The bags are pink - waltzing with one of those at your local club / in public screams "I'm desperate for attention".
Being seen on TV dressed like Timothy Claypole in civvies wouldn't be a big incentive for me. I'd never be able to show my face with my friends again.
But we're all different.
