    Cheaper for women

    You might have a point if women were actually paid the same as men for similar roles in today's society. As it stands though, they are not. That's not even mentioning the fact that women are still much more likely to take career breaks to have children and therefore earn less than their male...

    YouTubers.

    The best thing about Crossfield is that he's done a lot of course vlogs mnear me. Any time I'm looking to a new place, I'll probably end up watching one of those to get a feel for it.

    Golf Random Irritations

    I had to ask for one to be moved today... then hit it anyway! ?‍♂️

    Tough school

    We had something similar to that in a medal last weekend, with someone on top of the IG leaderboard by about 24 strokes. Turned out that he had put in his nett score into the app rather than gross! Needless to say, once the comp had been finalised, he was nowhere.

    What’s your golfing target for 2021?

    Well I didn't expect to have such immediate success! Managed the first two objectives yesterday. I still shot 92 so a long way to go on the 3rd though...

    What’s your golfing target for 2021?

    In ascending order of difficulty: 1. Have a round without any triples. 2. Have a round without any 7s (or more!) 3. Break 80 I broke 90 for the first time last year, and managed to get as low as 85, so feel that 80 this year is a stretch but not entirely unrealistic.

    World Handicap System (WHS)

    I've lost the thread a bit now! Have you (or anyone else) managed to get scores submitted through the EG app to count towards your HI then? I have an away round tomorrow and it would be good if I could use this method to put a score in, rather than the usual IG at home.

    Do your clubs fit in your car boot?

    One of the criteria when I got my most recent car was the boot space. For family trips and fitting golf clubs! I currently drive a Tesla Model S which has a huge boot, noticeably bigger and wider than the C-class estate I had before. It easily swallows the golf bag without taking any clubs out.

    Who would you rather follow, DeChambeau or Spieth?

    I don't think there is anything that Spieth does that others don't do better. Even if he has a good day, I think he would need others to be off their game for him to win. On the other hand, if things are clicking for Bryson then no one gets close to him. He could also have one of those days...

    Roll ups

    As someone who works all week and has two young children, my free time at weekends is rather precious to me. So as you say, I would much rather be able to book a time then go out at that time, instead of waiting around for up to an hour (or even more). I was originally put off the club I joined...

    Ban for Justin Thomas?

    Ah the good old days, when being gay was illegal, blacks had their own space on public transport and a woman's place was in the kitchen... I think that even you might agree that times and attitudes have changed somewhat since then. These attitudes are simply not acceptable now, and never should...

    Ban for Justin Thomas?

    So you're happy to imply that homesexuals are inferior to you, but you're not a homophobe? And similarly, your playing partners are happy to suggest that a female would be less strong, but they're not sexist? I'm not for a moment suggesting that you would ever purposely say something derogatory...

    Golfing resolutions?

    To play a round without a triple bogey (or worse!) on the card.

    £2,000,000 or prison

    If you want to calculate the probability of getting at least one hole in one from 25000 shots at odds of 1/8000, then the equation is as follows: 1 - ((8000 - 1)/8000)^25000 This equates to around 95%, so pretty good odds in my opinion. You can adjust the odds or the number of shots to see...
