    Home Office Chair

    I’ve worked from home for over 25 years and gone through a vast amount of rubbish ones. 4 years ago I bought a Herman Millar ‘Mirra’ chair; it was way more than I had ever considered paying previously but as a bad back sufferer I can honestly say it was blooming well worth it. With a ten year...

    Do I not like that....

    Players who don’t like you standing in particular positions when they tee off but are happy to stand in the exact same position (and talk/eat loudly) when you tee off

    When did you last play?

    Yesterday in twelve holes of Christmas (nos1-11 & 18) two ball scramble. Very wet underfoot in places until we were half way down eleventh when the heavens opened up and in the space of 5 minutes we watched the green become a swimming pool. Shame as we weren’t doing too bad either. I think...

    Which non golf related You tube channels do you watch?

    I’m into photography so watch quite a bit from Thomas Heaton and Steve Mattheis, who vlogs in the Grand Tetons in Wyoming (my favourite place on the earth). Also watch a Harry’s Farm to hear about real world farming and dip into Mark Tiff plumbing - though I’m not fully sure why it appeals But I...

    Do your clubs fit in your car boot?

    Bag fits diagonally with all clubs in situ in my Cupra Formentor. Though I have a to drop a section of seating and lay them vertically if I have CT6 trolley in there as well. if the boot was a bit deeper they would both fit in but the parcel shelf doesn’t allow the trolley to sit on end.

    Course suggestions - Scotland, winter, near mountains

    Taynuilt and Dalmally, two lovely nine hole courses with incredible mountain backdrops. Slightly more than 2 hours from Edinburgh; Dalmally being about 2hours 15. 30 mins from Glencoe for hiking but lots even closer. Absolutely no idea what they’re like in winter though

    Beginner golfer….ish

    I was in a similar predicament a couple of years ago when starting out and only had my son to play with (who doesn’t live close enough and plays off +2.9). I had some lessons with a pro at a local club which i then joined and he introduced me to others who were same capability. In the last year...

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    On holiday in the Scottish Highlands and had opportunity to play a lovely well presented course at Taynuilt (9 hole course near Oban). A rushed start saw 3 bogies and a shocker on the 4th leading to a lost ball. Turned it around and parred the next 5 for my best score ever. Other half couldn’t...

    New Shotscope X5

    I’m new to shot scope and bought the x5 on preorder, there were issues to start with but with the latest firmware release the only issues for me have been user error. To be fair to Shotscope I have been very impressed with the way they have reacted to problems reported (on the flip side you...

    New Shotscope X5

    Did you update the firmware and if so notice any improvement with locking onto gps? I played 10 holes today and had no issues, but couldn’t say locating the gps was better than before

    New Shotscope X5

    9 holes on Thursday in the rain and I have never seen a touch screen react so badly. I ended up using hole 19 app on a iPhone max, which has far more screen real estate, without problem. Non-scoring round of 18 on Friday and it was absolutely fine. I’m so very torn about the product and am...
