Trilby tour

[Deleted member 15344]

I watched it last year i think it was when there was a 1 or 2 HC who had a shocking duck hook of the first and was talking about the pressure of the crowd and cameras :rofl: you would think it was the PGA tour the way some talk

To be fair, whilst i think the event has now sold itself out by increasing prices but reducing the quality of everything. Course, Clothing, Bag etc

The one year i played in it, my first tee shot was the most nervous i've ever been on a golf course.

I would suppose that's why they do it a certain way by getting you there early, to watch others and for others to watch you, to 'possibly' heighten up any nerves you may feel and it's not every day you'd get interviewed minutes before teeing off. Then to have a camera 10feet away recording everything, like the poor fella who topped it 3 times off the first last year 😫
Then it starts all over again if you get in the last four and to be watched by a crowd, (I suppose some on here have got nerves of steel and do it week in week out), I'd be the same if faced similar situation, as I did in the English Mid am few years back I was first to tee off at 7:30 and we had an Ivor Robson introduction and I couldn't put the ball on the tee😂
I suppose those who play for fun won't experience that!

i have never watched it, but cant really see the appeal, its a bit like the pro am days.... nice for guys playing, but painful to watch

I have played in it. For the first 6years and enjoyed the experience. The Buckinghamshire 3 times, London club, Goodwood and Bearwood lakes and Hanbury manor. In those events a few handicaps possibly are a little high imo. But you still only have to finish in the top 10 to make the final. It is a very well run competition. I have also played a few southeast events where the scores seemed a little high. But if people have never played in them why be so negative? As from next year it moves away from Marriott and hopefully back to some courses that get people genuinely interested again.

I played in an early one. It was enjoyable and was rather nerve racking on the first. However having played in a couple of celebrity pro-ams, I would say those were even more so. Nothing like teeing off in front of your peers on a forum meeting though.

On Sky now...might be fun to play in and well organised....but why on earth is this on TV? Some right hackers on view....maybe that's the reason... 5 Handicapper playing with a 22 handicapper who is off a max 18 and 3/4 of that too!

Just watched it myself - to the end. Car crash golf - and the winner (4 hcap) won on the first extra hole - a par 5 - scoring a seven to his opponent's (3 hcap) eight. Ooof.

It's not perfect TV but it's a lot different to play in. However take the TV coverage away and the event is a shadow of itself.

The 3 handicap properly melted under the pressure.
Why he even hit the driver off the tee after watching your opponent stick it in the woods I've no idea. At that point its matchplay, stick it on the fairway which ever way you can.

140 golfers played, and they paid £325 each. Wow.

Loved the commentary..... "Neither of these players will be turning pro any time soon" :rofl:

Can you imagine it, though, they knew they'd be on telly since it was the play off... ouch! Golf it's 50% mental and 50% MENTAL!!!

£285 is the cost - £50 deposit and balance of £235. Still a lot but as a one off worth a go if you can afford it. Deposits day is this Thursday for anyone wanting to play in 2017. Hopefully my deposit for the 2016 waiting list will guarantee my place for 2017 as I did not get to play in this years comp.
