    How Much Would You Pay?

    It is what happens from the downswing hip to the follow through hip that matters. The hip to hip actions of Ben Hogan and Doug Saunders are identical other than Saunders has a wider stance. One is generally regarded as the greatest swing in golf, the other, the ugliest swing to nearly win an Open

    Retirement

    Don't choose the gardens unless you like to spend endless hours weeding. ;) I had a friend who retired and decided to do a few gardens. Within a few months he had two vans and employed 3 staff., kept it going for a few years then sold it on. Nice little earner for him but he worked crazy hours...

    Busted. A Cheat Caught

    In the 1990's we had a guy that did this. New handicap 22, after checking old club handicap 10. He won Captains day by about 10 shots. and received his prize in stoney silence Under Rule 19 [I loved that rule] we cut him to 5. Never saw him again. :LOL:

    Favourite paintings

    We collect A Y Nutt watercolours Victorian painter of mainly Windsor landscapes. He founded Windsor Art Club and taught a couple of Queen Victoria's children. A family connection started our interest but they have also become quite a good investment.

    Rugby Thread

    Scotland nearly snatching defeat from victory again. Jeez it is tough being a Scotland supporter. Nice to see Wales playing open rugby again, it's been a while.

    Chute versus booking system

    I once had 45 golfers in a queue to play one of my 9 hole courses using that system. We worked out the golfers would have spent the same time queuing as playing. I changed it to booking and had a load of complaints to start with but then it settled down nicely

    Dalmuir to close

    Sad, but no surprise. It would be cost effective for the council to pay the existing members subs at another local members club. Crazy situation.

    Scottish Fitba'

    Another great Scottish game as Hearts beat Dundee 3-1 in the cup. Wide open game with both sides missing many chances to score. Hearts team including three young academy players who are starting to look very impressive.
