    Dunbar is pretty similar just now, fairways are mostly brick hard, only played half a dozen holes due to various circumstances but did drive to within 25 - 30 yards of our 18th, admittedly it was from the yellow tee but its still 421 yards, good job I let the yanks in front play their thirds...

    Potential New Driving Laws

    Things That Gladden The Heart

    Every town and village in the Scottish Borders Council area are 20mph zones, you can drive for miles to pass through the 'bigger' towns as they start well outside some of them, doesn't bother me too much but strikes me as a bit overkill

    I've quit senior golf

    In my case you're correct, I'm 67, my hi has recently (in less than 2 months) gone from 5.4 to 7.6 and the reason is low scores off the yellows dropping off and being replaced with scores off the whites in both medals and gp scores. If I play 'average' golf for me I'll shoot 75 or 76 off the...

    Yeah my very first h'cap at 13 years old was 8, back in the day, in 1971, under the h'cap system in place that's what my 3 cards i handed in gave me, that's the highest I've ever been, my current hi of 7.6 is the closest I have ever been to it.
