    Boris the PM - a new beginning

    Nailed on i'd have thought. Tories have desperately tried to position themselves as the no deal party to take the Northern Labour seats in hard leave areas. It's the only way they can get a majority, so if the Brexit Party can hang around and take a load themselves Boris will have to do a deal...

    Thoughts?

    If it’s anything like our place golf course is the safest place for him, he’ll be the youngest person there by about 30 years!

    Boris the PM - a new beginning

    I suspect this is exactly the plan. Knows he can't really change the withdrawal agreement, knows he can't get no deal through parliament. So set up a full leaver cabinet and go to a general election. Kick out all the tories that are remain and try to get all of the Brexit party support from the...

    Can anyone recommend sunglasses?

    I've gone for a pair of these, many thanks for the heads-up!

    Kuch 3rd time around!

    I think this is spot on. In the interview with the caddy he says Kuch gave him an envelope with $5k cash in it...I doubt he nipped off to an ATM before lifting the trophy. He'll have had this sorted earlier in the week probably, $3k salary and a nice little $2k bonus. Can't blame Kuch if he got...

    Tourist Sauce: The Old Course.

    I'm with you on this one..as the season went on they seemed to do more and more on their little competition which I couldn't care less about. I thought the first series was a lot better on showing the courses and locations, hope they revert back to that a bit on series 3

    Tourist Sauce: The Old Course.

    It looks like you're right - had a quick google and this was a response from a year or so ago to this question (by Soly): I’m 2.9. DJ and Tron play off 7. Neil is off 10. Big Randy is around 8 or 9 I believe? The bad shots are a lot more entertaining from a content perspective than our good...

    what would you do??

    Exactly my view...all this about a child playing golf on a golf course. Some of these responses make it sound like he was out there on a JCB! Juniors on my course are so rare i'd have been happy just to see one out there playing.

    Ryder Cup 2018 - Paris

    Woods and Reed alternating shots on their practice round, as are Thomas and Spieth...may well be two of the foursome pairs. Both look fairly solid, that said, it's hard to come up with a US pair that doesn't!

    Which Distance Measuring Device?

    I've just used the motocaddy app on my phone so far. Gives decent yardages, allows you to work out yardages to hazards etc and gives a good picture of the hole. Would rather use a watch for ease but haven't been able to justify the extra cost thus far. May well pick up a second hand one and give...

    NFL 2018

    Rams coming off a great season and made some very good signings in the off-season...similar to the Vikings. Presume you mean them not the Raiders? Raiders have looked poor. Wouldn't be surprised if the Pats don't make it, could be all change in the AFC as the Steelers look to have all sorts of...

    I bought today.....

    Similarly got my jpx 900 hot metal irons today, a bit of motivation to get down the range over the winter months

    Caddying, anyone done it.

    different world in the US (my wife's from California) but even so 15-20% is the norm for a taxi or restaurant/bar tab there....this implies 100% tip is the norm for a caddy. That sort of tip just makes me think they shoudl be charged at twice the price

    Caddying, anyone done it.

    Glad I read this thread...never had a caddy but if I did I'd probably have tipped a tenner, £50 fee and tenner tip is 20%. I'd have thought I was being generous! Having lived in London all of my adult life I've never seen service charge in excess of 12.5% (which is fairly standard) - was 17%...
