What a wonderful result

Yes, that last hole. I’d need a packed lunch for that.

Nice to see Gary Woodland doing so well . Hope it keeps going to the finish.

Jeez, there is a difference you just cannot see. When the clock in Rugby has got to 80 mins,( usually counted down to zero), everyone knows that the game will end when one of a few things- known to everyone watching -happen. E. G ball goes out of play. In football at present the only person who...

Come on, what are you on about. Bold letters is to show that is th3 part you are writing about ,particularly. THIS IS SHOUTING.😀

Beat me to it.😁

That’s a no brainer. Something everyone can see and understand what’s happening, to timekeep as in Rugby League. At present you have an indication that “5 mins added time” and then the clock gets there and the game still goes on. Guessing game from then on as to when the ref is going to blow...

No, it’s not very clever, imo. But it sure as hell is boring. How many times when the clever coach asks the clever players to play out from the goalie, do they go sideways, backwards , sideways, etc to so called keep possession, ….and then ,under pressure, boot it upfield, or lose it or pass it...

“ Checked and cleared”. My arse! What are these var refs looking for? Shirt pulled. Clear as day. There cannot be a more intentional foul than a shirt pull. ( Newcastle v Sunderland)

Well, as I say,it is merely anecdotal evidence, so all you can do is try it. If it don’t work , you’ve obviously gained nothing….BUT, importantly , You’ve lost nothing. If you don’t try it, you’ll never know. 😁 Politicians are fond of saying …” there is no evidence that……..”, But we know...

Exactly. A terrible development from the silences which properly conveyed respect.

Beetroot is very good at lowering blood pressure. Including drinking beetroot juice, apparently. Worth discussing with GP.

It may not help, or it may. Hope it does Try turmeric tablets. One a day. Several I know say it helps. Worth a try. If it doesn’t help, you haven’t lost anything .

Well, perhaps I should substitute driver for “ a wood off the tee” Really meaning you have to have a good tee shot If someone can’t get a straightish reasonable tee shot away, how does he get sufficient GIR? And if he don’t get a fair number of GIRs he has to be phenomenal at chipping and...

All is relative . Surely, you have to be good at driving. If you are frequently in trouble off the tee, then no amount of short game skill will save the day. Of course it will , if some drives don’t go as well as planned, and the next shot can be half decent, but those drives deep into bushes...
