Over the last few years I've thought Joe Root to be a top batsman....when I saw this reported I thought what a top man! I don't know why but I've always wanted the national captains to be more ambassadorial in their manner...that's why I think Beckham was a great captain, ditto Alistair Cooke...

Long shot...but hoping that someone has one of these trolleys in the back of the garage somewhere they don't use and would happily part with the back wheels (specifically the right) as the plastic spokes on mine have cracked. The fact they may be cracked due to a bulls-eye with a 9-iron after...

Played there a lot in the early years...like you say a decent course back in the day. Always kids in the river at the short 4th hole collecting balls and you could buy 5 balls for £1

Middlesbrough Municipal 1983 with Dad, Uncle and brother...I was 14 There was no booking system and people just turned up and waited so the 1st tee was packed...I remember waiting about an hour before it was our turn to go. Having never played before (other than pitch & putt) I took the...

Taking your ball further back so its now 60ft downhill...but just off the green so you're chipping (presumably with the pin in)...would you still claim it as unfair that the ball may hit the pin and not race 12ft past?

Not if you have the sort of numpty who was in the group ahead of us on Saturday who stays on the green while counting up his shots and then marking his scorecard :mad:

On 5 Live earlier this afternoon one of the justice ministers on the radio (can't remember his name)...and I'm paraphrasing... Him : 80% of the public support Mrs May's deal. Interviewer: Is that a fact ? Him : I used that figure to illustrate my opinion. Interviewer: What is the source of...

I work with a guy who does this...simply walks straight out into the road, looks back at me and says "don't worry they'll slow down...they ain't going to run me over". Every time my jaw is on the floor ... just unbelievable ... a horn has been tooted on many an occasion!

For us high handicappers we can learn a lot from the tempo of Els & Ousthuizen ... those rhythmic, effortless swings are just beautiful to watch

Until this thread I never knew about medals worn on the right....now I'm a little bit wiser I'd say wear them with pride (y)

Brilliant :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I've enjoyed the Dr Who reboot through Eccleston, Tennant and Smith....I never watch Capalldi (no specific reason) but I thought I'd give the new one a go. I thought last night's episode was the worst so far and was going to turn it off...however I enjoyed the last 15 minutes. I agree about...

I've never walked off during a round but plenty of times after a build up of bad shots I've ended up waving the club like Excalibur and hacking at the trees/branches/vegetation...much to the howls of laughter from playing partners. Once I took a full baseball swing to my bag...when we reached...

I always score and then I use that to track some basic stats...we've even got to the point where we now always hole out in a social as the first time we entered a comp we were missing a few short ones that would normally been a gimme! Plus there's normally a few quid on the result!

Is there a rule for that?!?!? :unsure: ..... just kidding everyone *tin hats*
