    A round with Alliss

    I saw the Alice Cooper one in the 90's, also one with Chris Evans too.

    A round with Alliss

    I loved the Round with Alliss format, I watched his more "modern" editions, but loved the format as it showcases a variety of courses and different people that all love the game of golf.

    Dyson vacuum trouble

    My (older) Dyson has a small red reset button on the brush head to get it restarted when it got clogged with too much hair. This was independent to the brush button by the power switch on the body of the vacuum. Not sure if the "newer" models such as the DC55 has something similar?

    Waterproof golf bag?

    I'm happy with my Mizuno waterproof carry bag so far. I'm a fair weather golfer, but I don't want to be caught out in a sudden shower.

    YouTubers.

    I suspect he's chasing the ad revenue, Youtube said earlier this year that they were diverting a large chuck of their ad budget to shorts to compete with tiktok etc. I have seen quite a few creators change to put out shorter videos designed for the shorts platform.

    Artificial Grass Greens

    I recall reading about Eastbourne Downs using hybrid greens as a solution to vandalism. It's an interesting concept: https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/sport/golf/eastbourne-golf-club-first-in-the-world-to-try-new-hybrid-green-technology-3918534

    The state of golf membership in Surrey

    I'm also in Woking but haven't joined a club yet as have young kids. Although there are a fair few of the elite courses around, one bonus for Woking / Surrey is that there are a lot of courses in the area. Hoebridge is very convenient to practice at without a membership but the course seems...

    Hoylake - The course

    I was there for Wed and Thu and thought the rough was really kind. It was long but not particularly thick. Some of the run-off's around the green were brutal and some of the bunkers were cavernousness. Personally the 17 green location looked great, but it seemed to be lacking a safe-miss...

    Driving without reasonable consideration

    Until I read about this case I wasn't aware that evidence could be submitted like that and how they could measure the distance on a camera which often has a fish eye effect. It's partly why I have chosen to install dash cams front and rear and I will only overtake cyclists if I can pass with...

    BBC

    I'm glad for the opportunity to watch a programme without being interrupted by adverts. Same goes for radio. I certainly don't like the model of subscribing to a service and still having adverts played constantly.

    Why one glove & not two

    I recall from reading a book a while back that the "reason" for one glove was because golfers used to hit off mounds of soil instead of a wooden tee and they used a glove to avoid their hands from getting dirty while building the little mound of soil. In modern times it makes sense to me that a...

    Masters not to be shown on BBC

    I'm fine paying to watch what I want to watch, but I despise paying Sky's monopolistic costs only to then be shown adverts on top. I fear that off the back of the BBC's decisions, we will either see higher cost to watch the Masters or more adverts (or both). I have been impressed with the...

    Jeremy Clarkson

    Indeed, saying he hates her more than Rose West the serial killer is very extreme?!
