Had a first in the group I played in yesterday. One of the guys was teeing off and literally as he started his downswing, a gust of wind blew the ball off the tee and he caught it on the first bounce. Luckily it was driver (so a bigger surface area) but it was a bit of a top, as he must have...

I do as well - mostly because I also can't be bothered but also as it makes sliding the bag across the boot floor through to the back seat of my car easier. If I take the cover off, the clubs get caught

I can hit equally crap chips/pitches/putts with gloves on & off - during the winter we have just had, I wore rain gloves for the whole round & only took them off/changed them mid-round if they were too wet

Our course sent out an email this morning to say that they were turning the putting green into a swimming pool, put loads of sun loungers on the patio and even announced a branded range of swimwear (including a pair of budgie smugglers), which I thought was quite amusing (it even included a...

You old romantic ;)

I was hoping that the series would be able to put back the missing bits from the books that the films decided to remove and also re-instate the proper ending from the Battle of Hogwarts from the book (as the end of the last film was bloody awful). However, slightly worried about some of the...

Personally, I think it's a great idea knowing what a bun fight it is trying to get Saturday morning tee times when they open 10 days before, particularly as at least 20% of them will cancel the night before The club also seems to do nothing about stopping it, so it's good that a club is trying...

Also, the wife has no idea if a new club appears in your bag

AlterBridge next week at the O2

I love Duran Duran but they have some awful covers - Perfect Day isn't great but their version of White Lines, just plain bad

Interesting, I didn't get that - didn't mind the banter at all

Not withstanding his comment that if the US hadn't come in and won WWII, we would either be speaking German or Japanese

I was the same, couldn't hit the 3 wood off the deck, as didn't have the swing speed for it - the fitter suggested doing exactly what you did and love my 5 wood

I had a tendency for poor pace control & pulling putts left, especially the longer ones but had a putter fitting/lesson a couple of years ago. What this showed was that my back swing was too slow & long and then on the downstroke, my brain took over & accelerated my hands faster to make up for...

On a sidenote, did you see the CJ Stroud stat re his passer rating against the Pats from Sunday? If he had thrown the ball incomplete on every drop back, his passer rating would have been approx. 39% - he played so badly, his passer rating was 28% or something like that :eek:
