My entrance song would be aimed at the course/ my opponents/ and the golfing gods. 'Do you really want to hurt me' by the culture club.

My Saturday round was OK. I got a three shot cut from winning the mid-week stableford (44 points) and I played to my new handicap with a solid 90 -17 = par 73. I also got my first eagle! I shot a two on a 370 yd par 4. A 220 yard drive to the centre of the fairway then a 150 yd second shot...

I got my first hanicap change of the season today - a 2.9 cut! I won the midweek stableford in style so I have gone from 20.3 to 17.4, Saturday's medal should be interesting.

Thanks for the kind words. Funny old game isn't it. Both of us had great rounds but I walked off thinking about the 2/3 shots that got away and the couple of putts that lipped out! and it sounds like you are in the same frame of mind.

Well done on the solid start to your season. I've played in a mid-week stableford at our club today. I play off 20.3, I shot a gross 85! (par 73). 44 points! I should get a 2.4 cut to 17.9. Not a bad start to the season. What a round. I went out in 39 shots (25 points). I shot back to back...

Thanks guys for the guidance/ advice. I thought that might be the case that i could return my lie to its original state before it was buried by my playing partner's shot. I will look knowledgeable in the clubhouse next week when I tell my mates what we should have done! (it doesnt happen very...

Hello all, Could someone please suggest what I should have done out on the course yesterday. On a 160 yard par 3 I put my ball in a greenside bunker from the tee. Then my playing partner did the exact same and his ball landed about 4 inches behind mine. Both balls were lightly plugged. He...

My mate always winds me up with a few.... When we are waiting for the group infront....... 'you can go, they are on the green/ fairway.' After a good shot........'what went wrong!' After a put that rolls past the hole............'choooo chooooo.' Its all good fun though and he gets more than...

A mate of mine went out on his course really early one morning and when he got to the 14th tee he was welcomed by a pitched up tent and 3 snoring half wit teenagers inside it!

Westwood: Thankyou for the Medal Maam Queen: That's the easiest medal you'll ever win, I saw your chipping the other day on the 18th in the middleeast!

Probably a cat thing I suspect. I'm off 20.5 so just about to enter cat 3, I guess it is an indication of improvement that creates a welcome change in the lost ball department. I've only been playing 18 months so still nothing more than a novice learner tbh. Best thing I ever did though taking...

We have had ours cut back a bit but the cold weather seems to have had an impact. Could just do with a chainsaw in the bag to thin out a few trees, then life would be much more straight forward.

I'll probably end up with it when I buy some more lake balls later on in the year. Let's cut out the middle man and draw me a map, I'll bring my speedos and a snorkle.

I broke my record today, completed my sixth round since I last lost a ball. I know it is easier in the winter with depleted rough but I am still pleased with myself as last year I was doing well to complete a round with the same ball. What's your record? how many balls do you get through in a...
