Hi all, I have a package booked in St Andrews for the Castle Course (Mon 27th 11:50) and the Old Course (Tue 289th 7:10). Unfortunately we've had one of our group pull out so we have a space available. Price is £600 total, includes both rounds, a 3 course meal and 2 buckets of balls at the...

I hope Joshua's popularity doesn't wane, he is excellent for the profile of the sport and no doubt will be in some great fights. But being in the UK, I'm sure our press will go after him at some point I'm afraid. Lets hope Fury can get himself together, we could be looking at a very exciting...

I covered the boxing aspect in an earlier reply, so I hope that clears that up. Fury is an idiot, but his views are just that, his views. He is a traveler and I think they tend to have more fundamentalist views on certain aspects of Christianity. But like any idiot talking rubbish, they can...

I maybe didn't make my point very well. He's not on their level, he is however the lineal heavyweight champion, which all the names I listed were too. So he absolutely is in their company, however as you rightly said they are legends of the sport and Fury only has 1 win at that level, and is a...

I used to get mega frustrated when playing badly, not the case any more. That said, I've never walked in or quit! For example if Saturday in our first medal I was 15 over for the first 6 holes (my handicap is 11), but I wouldn't dream of giving up and I ended u playing the last 12 holes in 4...

I think your post sums up the Fury issue quite well to be fair. He's made a right mess of his success, and to be fair it is his own fault. However he has said he's had issues around his mental health his whole career, even when he was a novice he did interviews when he said he really struggled...

The belts (for the most part) dont mean what they used to. Now there are 4 sanctioning bodies, pretty much anyone in the top 15/20 can end up winning one. But it's fair to say if a fighter has more than one they are a top fighter in their weigh class. That's why you hear the term 'lineal' as...

Going to have to back Richy up here. I don't think anyone can say Wlad was better prepared for this fight than against AJ. There is an old saying in boxing - styles make fights. Stylistically Fury is all wrong for Wlad, both in and out of the ring. Their fight wasn't a classic but Fury won...

No, not at all. I think Ali was merely a foreshadow of the future greatness of AJ ;)

I'm hoping for a Klitschko win myself. I've been a fan of Wlad for a long time, and I'd love to see him finish his career on a high. He dominated for 10 years but gets talked about like he is some kind of fraud. Granted he hasn't had any great opponents, and his style isn't always pleasing on...

I have to agree with everything richy has said. This fight is a mismatch, Haye will end it whenever he sees fit, he is simply a level above Bellew. And that is why there has been so much trash talk, it helps sell an awful fight to casual fans who love a 'rivalry'. I won't be paying for it, the...

I go there with a group every year, I love the place. Both courses complement each other perfectly. On the Nicklaus accuracy off the tee is paramount, as others have said take plenty of balls as you will lose loads if your driving is bad Also another recommendation for the Weary Friar, lovely...

Played a round at Glenrothes, which is a very undulating course, in my lovely new adidas shoes. I felt rubbing on my heels coming off the second green and it just got worse and worse. Ended up with enormous blisters on both feet, I was knackered and played terribly too. Last year I got a...

I'm not much of a fan of pound for pound lists as it's too subjective. That's said Roman Gonzalez should be #1 still with Andre Ward #2. The rest of the top 10 is very much up for debate. The only other thing I would add is a feel GGG gets hugely overrated when it comes to these lists.

Cheers.
