Quite good fun to watch, reckon once the idea beds down and the players get a bit more relaxed it'll be a nice intro to tournament weeks. 

However I live 20 min away and didn't make it down, so maybe that says something.

I am keen on the idea of new formats, shorter and quicker matches alongside the 72 hole marathon.

Good to see a bit of innovation, although I would prefer it if they kept Piers Morgan off my screen!

Really enjoyed the Hero Challenge last night.

The players enjoyed it and it was different.

Congratulations to Sky for supporting this innovation so whole heartedly.

More please.

I went, along with Mrs djp (not interested in golf) and we both enjoyed it. Great interactions between crowd and players, funniest being to the host in a moment of relative quiet, " Luke , I am your father....". We think it would be improved by having the crowd all around the hole, to create a stadium. No crowd down the left. If stood by tee or down the right couldn't see the green so a big screen would have helped. Great fun crowd and players all enjoyed it. Well done.
