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...

Wordle 1,685 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Wasn't going well until I used my third normal starting word.

I've taken the plunge & had one fitted to my driver, courtesy of a member of our club, who is a fitter. Had a range session today & the heel strikes, of which there were a few, certainly felt more solid. It will probably be the spring before I can reach any conclusion & the fitter has offered to...

Edit. Just discovered it's now on a Porsche 911 Turbo

I once owned OBR1T. Looked for a dyslexic astronaut but couldn't find one. Contacted a company who said they bought numbers but it turned out that they wouldn't buy until they had sold the registration. Finished up just selling it with the car.

Thanks for that, just bought it. I'm currently re reading "Provided you don't kiss me", written by a journalist who worked with Clough for over 20 years

Ask these lads, very helpful...

A couple of years ago I sold a miniature of Mc.Callan 1973. It fetched between £300 & £400, can't remember exactly. It could've been filled with anything, I don't suppose anyone will ever drink it.

I've got Srixons with graphite shafts.they are easy to hit. I have added 1½" to the 4,5 & 6, which has further softened the shafts & given me a bit more distance which, at 79 years old, I need. I'd recommend the switch with possibly 1" extra length.
