    Old but Beautiful

    I remarked on here a few months ago about being presented, in a cheeky way, a five wood by one of my playing partners. This club came from the back of a locker and had cobwebs on it!! For fun I used it the next time we played and ......... it was magic! I have never hit a better more...

    How long is acceptable to stand over the ball?

    Looking at just your respective handicaps, I would assume that your additional seven shots on the round would maybe even out the time taken by you both, over your shots and therefore this could then extend to an attack on higher handicappers holding up the course. Now this could mean that the...

    Are you proud?

    What a lopsided presentation - if a punch was thrown, no foul as Rooney pulled his face out of the way to defend his good looks. However it is only his legs that are at risk, you know the ones that make him millions, but they don't matter he should have let the keeper break them and then ...

    Time now telling!

    I have recognised that it is now time for my age to be accommodated on the course, so... No not a sit on buggy but ... Heaven Forbid ... Senior Shafts!! My swing speed puts me still in the regular shaft camp but with arthritis as a constant companion, I realise this speed will reduce. Now my...

    The answer to your question is quite simple........ Because we don't give them a two point start ... oops .. maybe that should be three!

    Are lessons the answer

    I would agree with The Coach - I have being wandering up for months BUT I downloaded an app that offered me the opportunity to see my swing. I was surprised at my swing and I would suggest that very few actually know their swing, they know what they think is their swing, a very big difference...

    Marking a ball on the green

    I was playing in a competition today and was informed that the use of a fifty pence piece, twenty pence piece or a tee, are not allowed as markers. Now this is news to me as I must have erred many times over the years with my usage of said coins and tee. The fact that the two coins are not...

    How does Scottish Independence affect the rest of the Union?

    I would agree with your observation.... a large percentage of voters are English and we will have to factor this into our need to squeeze every last voter away from the telly and into the voting booth. The passion is rising, the brickies are on stand by to rebuild Hadrians wall, starting...

    Slow Play - The Real Reason(s).....

    Having just enjoyed a round of golf with the Senior members of my club, 36 of them, I read the foregoing with a degree of astonishment - lost time by putting on wet gear before hitting the shot instead of the time taken had he played first, etc! We played four and had a wee dram - played to...

    Ian Thorpe

    Maybe your young lady should do a further head count, I think 4 in one house alone - all male and the we have the female characters as well. I agree that this is a programme watched primarily by females - not many blokes will admit to viewing - but the females could have their off springs with...

    Scotland Debate

    Yes I did use England instead of UK but I wonder at your belief that the rUK will survive the in/out EU vote considering the UKIP increasing support in England (not so much in Wales and N Ireland) We have over the years received media coverage, no doubt Westminster led, that we were/are a drain...

    Ian Thorpe

    Difficult to come out?? Your joking of course! Your best loved Soap, Corrie, now has at least 60% of the current cast playing gay roles. Oh, and if they are not playing gays, the storyline has them discussing which of their mates they would fancy if they were gay! Now this must be...

    Scotland Debate

    I respect where you are coming from with, what is, the view of one side of the argument. Up here Alex Salmond enjoys very high support in the face of all the jibes from the Press. I do not think his head is in the sand but as an economist, it is full of statistics that could make sense. Will...
