I've just heard that Matsuyama and Bhatia have withdrawn after a freak yachting accident.

I'm exactly the same. If I play on my own, or even go to the range, I hit sh*t shot after sh*t shot. I need to be trying to win something (even if it's just a coffee) in order to focus.

It might fade but, as long as the court pays for itself, why not take advantage while it's popular? It's about £70k to install a floodlit outdoor padel court. Near me they cost £40/hour to rent. If you can rent it out for five hours a day you've covered your capital outlay in less than a year...

Comp on Sunday with a couple of mates. One of them was having a terrible round but, after hitting his drive on our thirteenth, he managed to catch his tee in mid air! Made the stroke, tee popped straight up, he just stuck out his right hand a caught it. The only thing that made it slightly...

Yep. Every club seems to be full of experts on agronomy, hospitality, retail, finance, law, marketing, event management and (especially) handicaps. Chock-a-block with experts until you ask for people to join the committee and put some of their expertise to good use - then they all disappear...

OK, I'm bored of looking through PDFs now. :D Best I found was five in the top eight (2011 Wk18) or six in the top twelve (four weeks later).

Five in the top ten!!

Four in the top five!

Week ending 31.12.2012 had McIlroy, Donald, Rose and Westwood in the top seven.

Oh yes. It's highlighted, in bold, and has a massive font size.

It's a course of action that would be completely unacceptable to the PGA. So it's not at all logical. The PGA of America are always going to hold their championship in the United States of America. The clue is in the name.

My only eagle (#NotReallyAnEagle) came in similar circumstances, a par 4 shortened to about 110 yards because the fairway was a quagmire. One day I'll get a real one. Maybe.

Why would they want to host their most prestigious event in another country? As a fan, I'd love them to take it on the road, but they don't represent me, they represent club professionals in the USA.

Shiels' video with Cam Smith changed my opinion of him. I realised that I had just decided I didn't like him just because of the mullet and the moustache!! Listening to him he's just as friendly and likeable as most Aussies, does his bit for encouraging young golfers too. Lesson learned.

I'm guessing that your points did come across. I was hoping for some competition from a fellow late starter but I'm adrift on my own! 😭
