    Agreed. The players need reminding it’s a contact sport.

    it's all very embarrassing really. they were even moaning that it was windy by the seaside! it would appear they've said "we just weren't good enough" too many times this season so are looking for anything else to bail them out. Pathetic.

    West Sussex golf club

    One of my absolute favourite places to play golf. Great video. Unsurprised about the membership notes above. It always struck me as a “we do it our way” sort of place which would normally put me off but the charm of the place somehow always wins. Absolutely love it.

    I was "lucky" enough to go to the Charity Shield last august, in very swanky hospitality. a friend who knew someone who knew someone. The 4 course sit down meal was excellent, but "a day out at the football" it was not! Those days are dying and my god I'm going to miss them.

    I think it was a pen. Would definitely have wanted it at the other end. Shirt tug, clips his ankles.

    2026 Targets

    The goal for 2025 was get down to a 18.something index and consistent 'bogey golf'. Got to 19.2 in the end so not far off. I'd like to say I could come down by a couple of shots, however with baby #1 expected in June, frankly playing at all after May looks unlikely! So that being the case...

    Wristwatch insurance advice, please.

    One key thing to do - household or specialist insurer - is get some 'candid' photos of it being worn to prove you own it! when you don't have a receipt from purchase, should the worst happen to it, a photo of you holding a pint in your living room with a watch peculiarly front and centre will...
