The lads I play with usually have 2-3 tee times, invariably we end up with odd numbers in those groups and so sometimes other players will book in. We don’t expect them to ask for permission, it’s their club too. Yes, we have a couple of members who you’re praying don’t jump in, but even then...

Am I the only one who had fears of Rory doing this with his last putt on Sunday? Not helped by the fact he was blocking the view?!

I recently changed my pre round routine and have definitely seen improvements in score. Still some guff in there but generally getting better. All I’ve changed is getting up early enough to have breakfast at the club and hit a few balls in the net. Previously I would get there about 20 mins...

We have £5 for each nearest the pin and if you win more than 1 then you get a 1 shot cut. The number of us who play varies but it’s roughly £20 for 1st place and lose 3 shots, £15 for 2nd and lose 2 shots and £10 for 3rd and lose 1 shot. Entry is £4 or £5 depending how many turn up. If you...

Absolutely. I think there are a lot of ‘sports’ fans who watch the big events, whether that’s the masters, the Ryder cup, the World Cup, Super Bowl or whatever, but they’re watching the spectacle and the ‘big game’ rather than actually being into that sport and knowing it inside out. There can...

Haven’t seen a carrier bag like that for about 10 years!

This practice rounds Rory had is such a non story being blown up by click baiters. These people surely can’t know anything about golf, otherwise they’d know that all participants are permitted to arrange practice rounds? Saw a clip where Kevin Kisner said he would play Augusta maybe 10 times...

I’m doing a 3 counties golf challenge to raise funds for a local children’s hospice in June. Similar to the 72 holes thing, teeing off at dawn, playing 18, driving to another course, playing 18, drive to the course I’m a member at and playing until dusk. It’s a cause that is extremely close to...

Which film?

Potentially, but I’m guessing you can tuck it in a bit. We’ll see. Like I say, Amazon are usually decent with refunds and it was pretty much free as I’ve got a voucher. On the storing the rain hood thing, my bag has a rain hood pocket on the underside, very handy. Seems as though this is a...

I’ve gone down a similar but slightly cheaper route. Not a great brand known for quality and I’ll reserve judgement until it arrives, but I like concept. Good thing it’s its Amazon so if it is crap I’ll easily get my money back. https://amzn.eu/d/0bHydmQJ

Touché!

Absolutely superb, fair play. Again another battling performance, looked like it was gone early doors but he hung on and showed how great is.

Jesus wept.

This is part of the reason why I’m not entering any matches this year, it’s either the shenanigans of trying to arrange the match, or having to give the oppo 16 shots and being out driven on every hole with a 3 wood! Can’t remember the score exactly but I think I was +1 over gross after 7 holes...
