The two ball couldn't keep up with the seniors, the two ball wouldn't let us through. I didn't think they were bull****** us as they knew our start time so we assumed the club house had ok'd this so why complain, and hoped these two would rocket off so my two playing partners suggested we hold...

Hello. Something happened today on the course that sort of wrong footed me into silence. Our Tee time was 10:08 for a 3-ball, the group before (3 arthritic seniors) were still getting ready to drive off when we arrived on the 1st at 10,00, and we drove off exactly at 10.08. The pace was...

Ah - I didn't realise 16 ran alongside 15. thanks.

Sorry I blinked- why is Fowler stood next to Rory?

I haven't enjoyed a TV tournament this much since the last RC.

4 hours 58 minutes (20.42 EDT) until sunset.

You're painting a very poor picture of yourself. It doesn't sound like anyone was stuck behind the OP's four ball - from what I gather they were letting groups through as soon as they caught up. I'd be thrilled to bits to play behind such a self-aware & cooperative group.

Yeah it seems very good value, especially the four ball. There's a few different offers on their website outside of this tournament. As i said I can't play in it but would like to play there for a social game, I might have to buy an enormous amount of balls first though :D

Re: Buggies. Do you okay better it worse? I generally play better, by a fair margin too. Especially in the closing holes where my game usually goes to pieces (if it hasn't already by the mid way point).

I was sent an email by the Shire/WLGC yesterday about this open event: http://79.170.44.127/theshirelondon.com/index.php/home/the-shire-london-blog-news For those on phones and don't want to follow the link, it's a challenge for amateurs on the Ballesteros Masters Course, at The Shire London...

I don't know the course in question, but knowing the 3-ball were immensely quick and it would be inevitable that you'd have to let them through at some point, perhaps the 14th tee would have been the ideal opportunity to have a short break while the trio putted out and then tee'd off? I do think...

I was under the impression that it was bad etiquette & somewhat unwise to stand closer to the pin that the ball being addressed? If I'm wrong on the etiquette please correct me, but I still think within reason it is silly to stand closer to the pin incase of a mis-hit and the ball leaves the...

Played it today, the course tore me apart.

Ah I see. No the abuse isn't warranted, but going back to the door analogy - you'd expect a funny look if you let a door slam in someone's face. If I was in lane 2 overtaking you, you're in lane 1 and Homer hoons along the slip road, my first thought would be that Valentino will either adjust...

Another one I don't mind- I work night shifts so do the afternoon school run and witness a fashion arms race between all the mums, it certainly helps pass the time waiting for the bell.
