    The Berkshire Red 20th March

    Anyone that is put off by the thought of playing this top course by having to use mats, I got the following from a fellow Mariner: I phoned the course on 2nd March, and the restriction where all players had to use mats from the fairways for their shots ends on 4th March, so all will be good...

    Valderrama

    A case of cameramen flying to china and the ETP trucks (control room/production room, camera cherry pickers, high aerials etc) having to go to Turkey for the week after. Saw the trucks leaving on Monday morning as we ferried the players out to the course to complete R3.

    British Masters

    I have seen a very early copy of the map and there will be a walking route round the course. Unlike the US Open qualifiers, the course will be roped, so, as WH do not like the public walking in the heather, the route may be a distance from some fairways in places.

    please report any issues with new forum here!

    On the old site, I would be sent an e-mail if I received a PM, have looked at the preferences but cannot see how to get this set up. On the same note, if a new PM has arrived since your last visit, when you visited the site a pop up would tell you - nothing on this one. Lucky I was just...

    RickG Memorial Trophy Day (Coventry Golf Club)

    The gap should be the time it takes to play the shortest hole, in our case it is the 2nd which, as a 3 ball, should take 10 mins. Therefore we set tee intervals at 10 mins for medals - works a treat, rounds are usually in the area of 4 hrs with a stop at the half way hut. Fish, Who from the...

    Villa holidays

    I have used airbnb when reting in Wales last year, tripadvisor this year in Scotland and VRBO (homeaway,com) for rentals in the USA. All have been easy to use and have had no problems even when the owner cancelled one rental on us - we got a full refund and help to find a replacement.

    BBQ. Advice

    Thought you were meant to cook with it, not eat it! :rofl: Seriously though, we used to go sea fishing every weekend and the braai the catch on return when we lived in PE, and yes, when using hardwood, the cooked food had a better flavour than charcoal.

    US Open qualifying at Walton Heath

    Believe there were only 8 in the playoff. Sent out as 2 x 4 balls. First group had to wait for the scores of the second group before play continued. 2 birdies, one bogie and rest par. The 2 players that made birdie then played off for the one spot and the first alternate spot. I decided to...
