Played at Goswick yesterday in their Open. First strokeplay comp I've played in in a long time! After basking in mid 20s when playing wednesday it was a bit of an adjustment to playing in 8 degrees and a 30mph wind that made it feel about freezing. The pro shop must have cleaned up in wooly...

I was at the game and from what I overheard, from people who have an idea of this sort of thing, the bit in bold wasn't as clear cut as you'd think. I did ask for clarity on at what point an on-pitch decision should be overturned and they said its only if it's clear and obvious the wrong...

I don't know... Looking at the lack of responses in the first two categories I think, despite our decline into middle age, that we're still holding up as the youth contingent 😂.

Indian every time for me. I like to mix it up but currently favouring a chicken tikka karahi, with a garlic and cheese naan, 2 garlic rices, poppadoms and a makhani dhal. Plus whatever the missus wants. Doesn't help there's a very good one about 150 yards away who will run over with the order...

Entered 14 cards. Started at 12.9 Immediately went up to 13.4 Since then I've chipped away to a low of 10.9 and currently at 11.0. Lowest I've ever been was 10.1 and I feel like I'm a better player now than then. But I was playing a lot more then and more consistent.

Oh I understood fully - I just couldn't work how that was the America at its best 😂.

Pardon?!

I've a mate who's this year rejoined Worsley in Manchester. He pays 150 quid a year plus members guest rates each time he plays (I think it's 20 quid). It works for him as it keeps his handicap active for opens and he can still play in Saturday comps etc. He said the downside of it is that if...

Out last night with a pal. Sunny, still as a millpond and quite soft underfoot with the torrential rain over the weekend so thought the greens would have softened up - so I decided to put a card in to celebrate the end of summer! Shot a 10 over 79 with just one double. Was 4 over after 13 and...

The weight comments might hurt though given he apparently snapped his brand new £10k dining room table in half whilst standing on it to give a toast at a party 😂.

James Wiltshire has done a few of them, playing club champions or plus handicap golfers at their own course.

Torn between moorland and heathland (as I don't really know the difference) but basically whatever Beau Desert classes itself as! I love a links course but the kind where you're winding through big dunes (I'm thinking the front 9 of Silloth), not the flat ones without many natural features...

Bloody hell is that when it was!? To be honest I'd almost forgotten I had them and then my mate messaged me out the blue asking me to remind me what I wanted doing with them 😂. I've asked to just keep them black just on the numbers and fg51 stamp and leave the rest chrome. Nice clean look.

I got these a while back and gave them to my mate last year as he was looking at getting into club customisation/refurbishment. He's finally pulled his finger out and got them done - and I'm very pleased with the result! The irons are 4 to SW Wilson FG-51 from circa 91 I believe (my birth...

About 9 miles and 20 mins, used to be able to get there quicker but they changed the speed limit and put average speed cameras in. Getting there during school times is a nightmare as i have to go past 3 primary schools and 2 high schools - I've not made that mistake often. There are 5 courses...
