Sadly, we all grow old.

I think the BBC did not really handle Peter very well as it's interest in golf declined from 2005 onwards. Strangely, I think he did better in his later US broadcasts where your airtime is limited. Which brings me to my main point... In his latter years, a strong anchorman like Mike Tirico in...

This wouldn't surprise me. A number of years ago I reported in the opening of an Arnold Palmer designed course in WV. It was clear his design team had really done the work. AP had certain features he likes to include...the majority of the greens being open at the front....tee boxes at different...

The series with a similar format was relaunched for global distribution in the 1990s.

Stefanovic: Regarding Peter Alliss... Peter through his television work especially in the UK opened up golf to many people. His 1977 TV series, Play Golf was regularly repeated throughout the 1980's and even into the 1990's and was not snobby or elitist in tone. His instruction books that I...

46 and 50 degree wedges that match my irons, a 56 degree wedge and a 60 degree wedge. I like the 60 and hit it decently but I seldom need to really use it, so I could drop it without too many problems. Also have a 42 degree Cleveland Niblick that is great to use for chip shots.

Yes, Vegetable Samosa's...are they the same as Pakora's? My gf went to culinary school and is going to make an Indian for me this week from scratch with a leg of lamb, sounds yummy!

Lamb Vindaloo, Basmati Rice, Garlic Naan Bread and a few of those triangle pastry things i can never remember the name of as an appetizer! Yum!

20% is way too much to pay though. Maybe I am too far removed from UK culture to relate to that these days. But if you did not have to pay tax on used goods, wouldn't there be a healthier used market at more reasonable prices so people can get into the game more affordably? That said, I did see...

Interesting thread. Owing to some life changes (girlfriend moving in) just today I offloaded some used clubs whose shafts are now too flexible for me at Second Swing in Scottsdale, Arizona. Got $1,000 in store credit. Purchased an unhit TM Sim Driver, and only store used TM Sim 5 Wood, 4 and 5...

Probably not the advice you are looking for but one of the keys to achieving a degree of financial independence was to never buy a car again on finance. if your cars are still operational, it would make more sense in the long run to buy a used car and pay upfront and will be cheaper to insure as...

It was my only vice!

Hi People! Working with my LPGA pro has now got me down to the stage where I am threatening to break 80 every round. Routinely shooting 80-82 on our 6211 yard par 72 course. After some serious health problems, I am really happy with my progress and the lessons and practice are really paying...

Never got as low as minus 2c in the 6 years I have been here but do have mornings in winter when it is 3-4c. For whatever reason desert nights always seem a lot colder than they are and the dew, not quite frost, is pretty frigid!! Would much rather playin the heat than that!

Pushing a three wheeler! Would say around 35c would be my limit for carrying. My home course is about 6600, fairly flat, luckily. Older style US resort course from the 1960's. Good members course.
