David, we have not yet approached all of the courses yet.  I wanted to get a better idea of when shooting would begin because the first question we're asked when approaching the courses is "when."  Of the courses approached, all have been very welcoming.  For the trailer we shot at Walton Heath, Sunningdale, Royal Cinque Ports, Prince's (Kent), and Littlestone.  We also had a very nice visit with James Laidler at Rye.  Royal St George's wanted to participate as well but when we shot this summer they were deep into their Open preparations, but they are eager to participate in the series.  The courses we have shot at so far have been very helpful and very accommodating.   Most have asked us if they had to pay us to do this -- which makes me think we're missing out on a great business opportunity. 

To answer your question Martin, we are in the process of approaching all the major broadcasters in the UK, including Sky, so hopefully we'll have a UK commitment soon.

Bumped.


Any update on this series? Vigorous searching has failed to reveal any product release. Perhaps funding and sponsorship never came to fruition?
