I see the title of this thread has been changed to British Tour Masters, presumably to deal with the debate yesterday. But, not sure that is quite right, it is still the British Tour 2025 thread as it covers the whole year; the Masters is just the last few posts or so?

Probably being a pain but it makes more sense to call it British Tour 2025 as it was; it is a bit like the Wheelchair Tour 2025 thread - that covers the whole year and includes individual tournaments as they come up.

Not being pedantic, hope it doesnt come that way, but do think the new title misleads!

(we could have a completely different British Tour Masters thread just about the Masters of course...IGMC!)

I agree. It is a year long story thread.

Any objections to it being changed back to British Tour 2025?  I guess we could add "including Masters finals" though I think.that unnecessary.  Personally, I think it is and always was fine as the one thread concluding with the Masters but I respect other opinions.

It's a shame that certain individuals with power have decided they don't want a thread about the British Tour Masters on "their" board and merged the threads with the general thread. I don't see why the men's and women's boards should be exclusively for the pro tour. It would be nice to have brought out those that have made the achievement to reach the Masters and give them the recognition, especially in a quiet week when there is little else happening on the men's and women's boards. After all the men's board is for "discussion of British male players" and the womens board for "discussion of British women players". Nothing in those descriptions that suggest they are exclusively for discussion of pro events. Rant over.

Sorry, mea culpa, my mistake.    Been busy for one reason or another for the better part of today, hence this delayed response.

I was aware of CD's British Tour 2025 thread in this forum & when I saw the addict's post on telstar's newly started Masters thread in the Men's, pointing out its existence (now deleted), I thought I'd do a bit of tidying-up, as Indy has suggested, & move it over to keep the discussion all together.  I had no idea that there was a parallel thread in the Women's forum & it didn't cross my mind to check.

Regrettably, moreover, I messed up the merging process & inadvertently caused the original subject of CD's thread to be replaced by that of telstar's, but could see no way of changing it back (if I go into page 1 of CD's thread, it still shows his original title!).  It was most definitely never my intention by doing the tidying-up to give the impression that the Men's forum was exclusively for the discussion of pro events & that discussion of the British Tour was thus banished.

Little did I think that my original two posts would create such debate! For what it's worth, I think it would be best for the single thread to be entitled 'British Tour 2025 including Masters'!

Thanks telstar, pity about the debate and questioning of motives..

I was going to leave it a bit but coming from yourself, I will go along with that change as you word it and it is now done.

I changed the title using telstar's post on page 8 which is where the merger started.

I think in future if you merge the side thread into the main thread instead of the other way around it will maintain the main title.
