We played in the South Shields seniors open today. If you have played it, then you will know how exposed it is up there, and the Pro says it was gusting at 50mph; I believe him. The good news was that the rain was pretty light for the majority of the round, although the wind actually made it...

But were they using the long pile or the short pile spurk ;)

I think I have already mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I haven't checked. My mates daughter bought him the long pile as a present when he wanted the short pile, so he trimmed half of it so he has a 50/50. Ironically, he appears to favour the long pile.

We always said REME stood for Rough Engineering Made Easy. But that was because we weren't particularly pompous and didn't take ourselves too seriously.

Won my friendly match against my mate today despite my continuing experiment with an early extension. This condition leads to thins and toe strikes. I've been here before and can't remember how I cured it, lots of videos and hard work, probably. I won because my mate at times is the world's...

I bought a second-hand G440 Max last week, and 3 rounds in, I'm loving it. I was using a Mizuno ST 230 Z, which has a slight fade bias. This suited me as I prefer a left-to-right shot. Unfortunately, in a strong left-to-right wind or ,with a less than stellar shot, the "fade" could get out of...

My spelling and grammar checker that I thought was a freebee turns out to be a free trial which has ended. All of my previous, perfect posts were produce with barely a thought in my head. Now? I'm going to have to concentrate and check everything twice, and still fail miserably. Heaven knows...

He actually asked the question twice. It would have been rude not to reply.

I got one last week and for the first time ina long time I feel as if I have a keeper. It's the wrong time of the year to tell how it stacks up in terms of distance, but it appears to get out there. More importantly, so far it has been a fairway finder and if in the long run I had to give up a...

Having been closed for two weeks due to rain, they opened it on Wednesday. I popped down yesterday afternoon for 9 holes and found that they have cut the fairways and the tee boxes, so tell me again how wet it was?

The course opened this morning, first time in two weeks. Unfortunately, I won't be taking advantage of this until Friday, unless of course the forecast is wrong, and we have rain of biblical proportions between now and then :mad:

I have an Arlie. I also got it off eBay. It does what it says on the tin.

It does to me. He's like those skinny little mid-teens in the group behind. 5'2" and more fat on a chip, but their ball is constantly landing just behind you 50 yards on from where you have just played your second. Arms like pipe cleaners but send it 280 :mad:

Billingham. On the other side of those trees in the picture is the beck and all of the rainwater falling on the farm land to the west is now cascading down a very swollen beck and as on this occasion spilling over and flooding 11, 12 and the 6th green which is around the corner from these two...

The Latin inscription on the stable belt of the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers ARTE ET MARTE, translates to "Twist to Open".
