Emile I’m with you but…
In 2009 I was horrified that they were adding tee’s off the Old Course and tried to organise a petition on here, to be presented during the following years Open at St Andrews. I gathered little support either because I made a poor case (which seemed self evident to me) or, as I strongly suspect, I have no leadership role within the industry.
Can I ask that you take down your petition for now? For this to work I think we need
1
To discuss what the petition should say. Yours seeks to stop work that has already started. The work will have finished before you get any significant amount of support. It really doesn’t tackle the larger issue of how St Andrews should be protected.
2
When the real petition gets going the first 10/50 names need to be household figures from the world of golf. Without that it’s dead in the water. I’m watching Tom Doak’s posts with great interest, hopefully he can get this ball rolling, very quickly..
I think even if you gather hundreds of names it will not be enough and it will make the signator's think I’ve already signed one.
Sorry but I think yours is a well meaning distraction.
Need to hone your frustrations into a more effective tool.
