I didn't know that, and now I am lost for words.

I assume that Jason Day is wearing those trousers because he is being paid to do so, the idea being that we see them and suddenly have a desire to wear a pair of old curtains. The question is, does anyone here envisage buying and wearing a pair any time soon?

You probably need to explain that in order to pass the test the answer to the question is no! Not that anyone in their right mind would admit to being a Mackem 😁

We don't have one, I'd prefer it if we did.

And in the UK?

We received our renewal in December, to be paid by 1st March. The club have decided not to impose any increase, so mine are the same as last year, £815. We changed the structure of the club about 18 months back and installed an Executive Committee. In this time they have turned a £100k+ deficit...

So don't mention the credit but complain about the spends (y)

I've just downloaded it, so far so good, definitely looks user-friendly. We have access to everything from the off, bookings comps, club website, documents new etc. Nice job by the people at the club.

I always post the same reply in these discussions. Not so many years ago a set comprised of 3 - SW, then we were told that the long irons were too difficult for us so they were phased out while we went and bought hybrids to replace them. Then the lofts got stronger leaving gaps at the bottom...

The course has been closed since our last heavy snowfall on the 3rd, but the snow had gone and the ground is slowly thawing, so it seemed reasonable to assume that it could reopen midweek. I woke up this morning to find a nice fresh 2 inches covering everything. It's probably ruled out the...

We have access to it from Monday. The club have purchased it for all the members, and it will be the only system we will use.

I've played all of those on numerous occasions. Blackwell is the old Stressholme Municipal, which was operated by Darlington Council. Blackwell GC played out of the Blackwell Grange Hotel but took the opportunity to take over the muni. It was an ok, blandish course and while I haven't played...

A 77 at our current (winter) course will give you a differential of 12. Off the whites on our main course, that same 77 would give you a 5.7. The only people putting cards in at the moment are bandits looking for an increase for the summer. For perspective, they are the same course with two...

I started last year at 8.2 and finished it at 8.1. I was 68 last month, so if I can finish 2026 with the same index I would consider that a win. In truth, I would like to finish this year with 7.something, even 9 would do.

The most important thing for me about using a mat was ably demonstrated yesterday. On the 3rd I was a foot off the fairway, the club have mandated mats for fairways only, so I played my approach with my PW directly off the turf (mud). It was as good a shot as any I had hit earlier in the round...
