Dream Alive For Higgins And Lawrie As European Tour Clarifies 2014 Membership Criteria

The champagne is still on ice for David Higgins and Peter Lawrie who look like they have half the job done and made it safely to the weekend in Perth.  Higgs is 115 and Peter is 114 in the Race To Dubai; both are hoping to earn enough to jump into the top 110 and retain their 2014 cards.

The better news for the lads is that the European Tour have clarified criteria for 2014 membership and pointed out that a few of the guys currently in the top 110 will be removed from the race.  Thanks Peter Finnan for his detective work on getting this statement which explains it all

Clarification on 2013 Race to Dubai and resulting 2014 Membership Please note the following with regards to the 2013 Race to Dubai:

- 1. The cut-off for Category 10 in 2014 is the Top 110 from the 2013 Race to Dubai as published after the ISPS Handa Perth International*.

2. The following is the status of players within the Top 145 on the 2013 Race to Dubai who have not played 13 events. Rank Name Status 46 Jonas Blixt Affiliate Member â€" no minimum event obligation â€" he is taking 2014 ranked membership so he will stay in the Race to Dubai.

78 Tim Clark Affiliate Member - not taking up 2014 ranked membership so he will come out of the Race to Dubai published at the end of this week.

103 Carl Pettersson Affiliate Member - not taking up 2014 ranked membership so he will come out of the Race to Dubai published at the end of this week. 107 Dawie Van der Walt Category 10(d) â€" non-member winner during 2013 season, only required to play 10 events which he will do in Perth this week - (1/3 of remaining events after his win), so he will stay in the Race to Dubai.

127 Simon Thornton Category 10(d) - new winner during 2013 season, only required to play 4 events which he has already done - (1/3 of remaining events after his win), so he will stay in the Race to Dubai.

All other Ranked Members within the top 145 on the Race to Dubai who have not yet played 13 events are currently entered into sufficient events to do so by the end of the 2013 Official Season.

3. When the Race to Dubai is converted to points at the end of the ISPS Handa Perth International, whilst the cut off for the Top 110 (Category 10 for 2014) will be set*, eligible players within the top 110 will of course still have the ability to improve their Race to Dubai position (and resultant 2014 ranking) during the final series.

4. Statistics indicate (not confirm) that the last 8 places allocated to the Race to Dubai for the BMW Masters can still be secured by members competing at this week’s ISPS Handa Perth International.

5. Should a non-member win the ISPS Handa Perth International this week and immediately choose to take up European Tour membership, his earnings from the event will appear in the Race to Dubai published after the event. If he does not make this decision before the Race to Dubai is published this week, he will have lost this right for the remainder of this season.

* NB. Whilst no other players can move into the top 110 as a result of money won in the final series after this date, any Ranked Member in the Top 110 who thereafter fails (for whatever reason) to fulfil his minimum event regulation by the end of the 2013 Official Season, will still be removed from the Final Race to Dubai. This would result in the player ranked 111 becoming ranked 110 and gaining 2014 Membership in Category 10.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
