    LIV Golf

    Maybe La Sasso looked at Caleb Surratt, who received nearly $10 million in 2025, despite a pitiful one top 10 in 20 odd starts on LIV, and thought 'that'll do for me'.

    New HDID App

    The old HDID app allowed you to access other clubs' details of competition results and members' handicaps which was quite useful. I can't find this on the new app. It will be a pity if it's been ditched.

    Professional Golf 2024 & 2025

    The first Japanese golf superstar. Preferred to concentrate on playing in his homeland where he topped the Order of Merit a dozen times and won nearly 100 tournaments. A fine legacy and, by all accounts, a decent man.

    SPOTY 2025

    Isn't that a little harsh? I would suggest that Bobby Moore (1966), Ian Botham (1981), and Jonny Wilkinson (2003) were deserving winners. Their contributions to the respective team victories are legendary.

    SPOTY 2025

    Current best odds with the bookmakers: McIlroy 4/7 Norris 4/1 Kelly 9/2 Littler 20/1 Kildunne 80/1 Hampton 80/1 Thinking about the people likely to vote, I'd be a layer of McIlroy. I don't know anything about Kildunne, but she might be the best value looking at people's comments on here.

    GOAT 2012 v 2025

    Indeed. In 1977, after Jack's 30ft birdie putt, he actually held his hands up for the crowd to be quiet so Tom could tap in his two-footer for victory. It's still, in the main, a classy game.

    GOAT 2012 v 2025

    I was there, aged 20. I followed Jack for all 4 rounds! It was truly captivating. Didn't Hubert Green claim that he won the tournament, because Jack and Tom were playing a different game altogether? Happy days :)

    GOAT 2012 v 2025

    Earlier this year I bought a book called 'The Golf 100 - A Spirited Ranking Of The Greatest Players Of All Time' by Michael Arkush. It ascribes points for various accomplishments such as Major victories (including, before 1962, The British and US Amateur Championships), non major wins, and...

    Christmas 2025

    I live alone, have no close family (mum and dad long gone, no brothers, sisters or children). I'm not religious, so I don't celebrate Christmas in any way. I understand why others do, for reasons of belief, and/or enjoying family time, especially with young children. I hope that everyone has a...

    Golfers who have passed

    Denis Durnian. Good player, but best described as a journeyman who never won on the European Tour. However he still holds an enviable record, the lowest 9 hole score in the history of the Open. He shot 28 on the front nine at Royal Birkdale, 42 years ago.
