Oubaai - South Africa

So presumably, they will want to play off uneven tees all year and every year to the end of eternity. Trying to discuss a question with a contrarian is a waste of time.

Seed/turf costly materials, I don't think so. Mini digger hire is not costly.The routine green keeping maintenance workload is much lighter throughout late autumn, winter and early spring. Seems like the ideal time, weather permitting, to do this sort of work. I would like to emphasise that, at...

See my earlier reply. Isn't levelling tees labour? Where's the costly materials involved?

Surely the cost of tee levelling is mainly labour and the green keeping wages have to be paid anyway? I share Crazyface's pain. At our place, they shove us onto some temporary tees and do sweet fanny adams to improve the permanent ones. At the same time, on the permanent ones still in use, they...

Been here for a couple of weeks. 34c Cape Town, 28c in Wilderness on Garden Route. Had this fellow for company at George Golf Club. A less welcome guest was a Cape Cobra at a pal's place in Paarl - don't know why I didn't get a photo. Could be that I was travelling at the speed of sound in the...

When I look at the multitude of ways in which people propel the ball around a golf course, I am not convinced that "we all know the basics". It just seems to me that if the lady is lucky enough to be starting with a clean sheet, it might be best begin with the help of a pro who certifiably...

At some ungodly hour this morning, I heard an unfamiliar, intermittent beep. As I stumbled towards the bathroom in pursuit of taking a leak, I tried to imagine what might be the source. Had I unwittingly set a timer on the watch, tablet,Macbook? A bleary prod at these items left me none the...

A few home pro lessons to get just the basics might make the week in the sun more enjoyable. Just a thought.

Off to South Africa for a couple of months next week. Staying a few days with friends in Paarl - golf and wine tasting. Then up the Garden Route to Wilderness. Been there before, some great courses- Pinnacle Point stands out.

I don't have the stamina to dissect the many examples of the repeated poor performances from England's elite cricketers. But I must single out Harry Brook. Not because that he is the worst example but that he seems determined to squander his exceptional talent. From the first match, he has...

There is a Youtube "Just Have a Think" which looks at all things renewable technology including batteries - interesting stuff.

I think that you have described vividly the extent to which you've benefited from the club. Don't understand why it was a question in the first place.

A golfing pal was playing in an inter club seniors comp yesterday. He messaged me from his hospital bed to say that his opponent had hit the wrong pedal on the buggy and had run him over - broken ribs plus a punctured lung.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to get a 7 wood.
