    oldest active seniors

    As a junior I got drawn a couple of times to partner a lady who at the time was in her 90s, and we came in the top 3 in one of those.

    Craziest ever reason for inability to identify ball

    Same here, first thing I do when I get a new box of balls is to re-sleeve them so I have 1-2-3, 4-1-2, 3-4-1 & 2-3-4 and play them in that order (and do the same thing for the back 9)

    Random Irritations

    Could they not find a nice new Bethpage Black logoed ball rather than the scuffed lake ball they used on the telly to welcome us back after the ad breaks over the weekend?

    Random Irritations

    Crossfield again

    If I had to guess I'd say that video was edited by the D@%*y M£%l as it showed him being a Grade A A-hole the girls on the phone never sounded angry or shouted over they just sounded exasperated that every time they opened their mouth he spat his dummy out.

    How far do you live from your home course

    According to Googlemaps I'm 58km or 1 hour away, there's only one golf course inbetween (where I was member last year). Lack of golf courses was the "main" concern I had moving here with only about 30 in the entire country, luckily we have Germany and Czech Republic not too far away!

    Worst course

    Without question it has to me Thamesmead it's since been closed (I think the driving range is still going) and looking at google maps it's just been left to grow out so it's probably in better condition than it was as a "golf course"

    Foursomes - yes or no?

    Definitely best avoided, really struggle to get any sort of rhythm, would prefer greensomes, or Canadian greensomes, and certainly wouldn't play it on a green fee.
