I really thought he was inviting the crowd (sorry patrons) to give the player a clap.

Noo! Even if it is, it's still stupid.

What an incredibly stupid & irritating way to introduce players. We don't need to be reminded to applaud them. We're pretty sure they're there to drive. What we might want to know is where they come from & what titles they hold. Whose idea was that? It gets on my proverbials.

I share a NOWTV account with a mate & my son in law. It costs £6 extra for HD & viewing on up to 3 devices. Been doing this for a couple of years.

We were at the range / American Golf discussing wrongly used words this morning. I mentioned my wife describing a friend as having cancer of the sarcophagus. The daughter of a mate of mine announced to the family "Grandpa is in hospital with an enlarged prostitute". One of the former American...

Lowest winning score we've ever had

PCC on Sunday was 3. Never seen that before

The answer is that, if the system worked correctly, it wouldn't matter. However the WHS doesn't allow enough latitude between easy & hard courses. Nor does it add enough to the standard scratch score for bad weather conditions or take enough off for playing off yellows instead of whites. At my...

Ours get taken home by the members on presentation night. Once, in the dim & distant past, the club had to take legal action to get one back.

For as long as I can remember I've woken up with a sore right hip, which loosens up once I move around. About a week ago it got really sore, to the extent that I walked off the course after 3 holes on Tuesday (49mph winds didn't help). Next day I was walking the dog & tripped up, landing on my...

Not a collection, but one I treasure. My John Miles plectrum marker. Such a shock when he died so suddenly. I'll never risk losing it by taking it out onto the course

Get mine here, very reliable. https://www.adoregolfgrips.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19175335411&gbraid=0AAAAADybubkl3RpVrZQxp6v-irPVwF1Vc&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BXYxlOAK7dl6jdbvt8cYhTg_VSaGsA2_yggriRcoZljyWVb09mhw-hoCgrIQAvD_BwE

Christy Moore, Fairytale of New York. A few others by him I could mention.

Am going through the same torment. 79 years old, driver swing speed has declined from 90 mph to barely 80 in the last few years. I've been spending some time on a really good simulator during this bad weather & the results ate quite revealing. Carry on my 4,5,6 & 7 irons was virtually the same...
