    Christmas 2025

    Merry Christmas all. Quick question. Is it too early to have a sloe gin? 😇

    Random Irritations

    I wasn’t commenting on this particular incident. I was stating a fact, that being that it is common practice for sales staff at car dealerships to use demonstrators as company cars to get them to and from work. That said, as someone who spends a considerable amount of time working with car...

    No, the sales staff taking demonstrators home. The rank bad treatment of customers is an optional extra.

    GPS vs. Laser Rangefinders What Do You Actually Use on the Course?

    Are you suggesting Fragger has an issue with a lack of length? 😎

    Random Irritations

    Ooooh, ours is rather nice. Quite happy to go for a scrape once every six months, in part because of that, but also because I’m in no great rush to ever experience another “deep clean”. The most unpleasant half hour a man can have - I’ll bet it gives childbirth a run for its money 😇

    That’s standard practice across pretty much all dealerships.

    GPS vs. Laser Rangefinders What Do You Actually Use on the Course?

    One of our par 3’s plays quite steeply downhill to a reasonably small green. You can see quite clearly if the pin is front, middle or back. And for the avoidance of doubt the flags are coloured anyway. And almost all of my regular group know what they need to hit to a front, middle or back pin...

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    Great front nine this morning. A birdie and a couple of dropped shots for one over in very, very muddy conditions. Back nine a little scrappy, but still finished with 38 points. And absolutely putted the lights out again. I changed my putter in the spring and, after a slightly dodgy period...

    Christmas/New Year Golf

    We’re closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Other than that it’s business as usual so I’m playing my usual days.

    Celebs who’ve passed

    I sincerely hope not.

    Celebs who’ve passed

    Really sad news. New Light Through Old Windows is a great collection of his music and one I still listen to regularly.

    The Footie Thread

    There are clearly off field issues with Mainoo, and I'm not sure I buy the line that he was injured yesterday. Amorim’s comments about players feeling entitled spoke volumes. I suspect he will go the same way as Garnacho, Sancho, and Rashford.

    The Footie Thread

    I knew he had played there for Ajax a number of times, and always thought he was an option there. If you need a defensively aware holding midfielder alongside Bruno then he’s definitely worth a punt in the absence of a signing. He looked very comfortable there.

    The Footie Thread

    The big issue isn’t his lack of mobility - it’s how bad he is in possession. Absolutely woeful on the ball. Gets caught in possession in dangerous areas and cannot pick anything more than a basic pass.
