Nice one, Bob. Everyone knows it's the cricket season, anyway...

Golf in the Garden of England is not exactly cheap: £1250 per annum plus a bar card, but there are two courses, and no joining fee at present. http://www.westmallinggolf.com/

I had a playing lesson two weeks ago, just before going up to play a weekend at Royal West Norfolk (Brancaster GC). I learnt so much in an hour and a half! Tips about course management were helpful, and although mainly common sense, it never does any harm to have things spelt out. We did a...

Received my first handicap of 16 in early March after three or four non-competitive rounds. This is over our two par 70 courses. Then played in last round of a two round club stableford competition (my first effort off the whites) and somehow managed to shoot 82 (12 over). I submitted the...

Smiffy, I would have been interested in a return to Highwoods after a mere 37 years, but West Malling has its 'Masters' that weekend. Perhaps another time...?

Jon, Well done for organizing this - I'm sure it will be great fun. Look forward to seeing you there. D.

For what it's worth, I think the idea of a draw has to be the preferable method. Isn't the day an opportunity to meet and play with new friends, rather than sticking to previous pairings? No offence meant to any other suggestions, this is no more than my opinion.

I would certainly like to play and would prefer Option 1 on either date as they nicely avoid any Ashes games!

Ouch! Bad luck...

Well done to all - but who moderates the moderators...? ;)

GB - thanks for that, but we need no encouragement down here! ;) I have just taken delivery of a brand new shiny red GoKart, have test-driven it over the weekend and am delighted with it. (It was as a result of seeing MedwayJon with his that I decided to invest). Had a problem with the...

Well done - that must be very satisfying. As for the practice off the sand - if it was good enough for Seve...

Jon, Good for you and I hope you enjoy your choice. From the website, it certainly looks attractive for a relatively new course, good practice facilities, nice clubhouse, and good drainage - pretty important in this neck o' the woods! You're always welcome for a return match at West Malling...

More to the point is why was this dross showing on my golf club's TV when there was the choice of the WGC and the England-WI test match at the same time??!!
