This thread has lasted a surprisingly long time.

Wonder if there'll be any "cool" new electric buggies there to buy

oops...

forgot to add that for Australian players the Triple Crown will be the first leg of the national trials for selecting the Australian team to play in the World Cup in Chile in 2008.
(both men and women are eligible for selection and play against each other in the World Cup)

Pretty harmess spam I would have thought... nevertheless pandpoz may be better directing the news via the administrator...

I should point out that before posting this to the forum I sent a copy to the Administrator, explaining who I was and the intention of the post, and asked if it would be ok to proceed.

The Administrator gave his consent.

My reason for posting here is that in other parts of the world, Europe especially, many low handicap club golfers also play Pitch and Putt competitively so that they get the best that both sports offer.

Golf offers a significantly attractive and long established club scene for players whilst Pitch and Putt offers the lure and challenge of playing internationally at the highest level as both an individual, in International Opens, and in major teams events like the World Cup - there is a growing trend around the world for players to play both sports.

Amongst those reading this post there might be a man or woman who will step up to the tee at the next World Cup in Santiago, Chile wearing the Australian colours. As someone who experienced this thrill earlier this year in the World Cup in Barcelona it is an experience of a lifetime and hopefully one that a forum reader might aspire to.
