  tournament promoted by a company with its worldwide HQ in the UK and we are not even eligible either for the main prize! How does that work?

  I guess you also have to be an amateur, LOL. I'm sure they don't mean that in WGT terms

  6.  Eligibility:  This promotion is open only to legal residents of the United States who are 21 years of age or older at the time of entry except California, and wherever else prohibited or restricted by law. All entries for the Promotion and regional tournaments must be from amateur golfers only.

  My question is why were you allowed to enter the tournament.  My state of residency doesn't allow me to play in ready gos and cc tournaments for credits.  I can't even sign up for them, it warns me before I even attempt to click on one.

  Ketel is a free tournament. The distinction must be that they can't take your money but they can take your time.

  Bad luck Sal, good of you to warn the other CA. players and make people aware of T & C of these Sponsored Tourney's.

  Am reminded of this thread by the current Glenlivet farce..........everyone ready for the return of the KLM fiasco from last year? ..was about this time last year.

  and while I am at it ...I realise I had no chance of winning the ketel championship both because of nationality and my ability but still tried to qualify ..and did the only way i could via the closest the pin ....and so was curious to see where i would eventually place among the 299 but I cant even do that now ...as you have let everyone in. Top stuff ....

  and here's hoping my fellow european retains his current leadership .... with the deserved bashing you will get when he is barred from winning.

  Get your act together.
