    What's going on with Robert Allenby?

    It's fairly simple really: He's missed the cut, got a grump on, Got plastered in a bar somewhere, Got himself into a bit of a "situation", Come off second best, And is now trying to cobble together a completely farcical story to try and cover his tracks. UP1.

    Hard work today

    No chance of playing at my place as it's been shut for the last 3 days. And with more rain forecast not much chance of playing at the weekend either. Hey ho, life is life.

    Assessing your yardages using GPS watch

    I thought as well as front, middle and back the Garmin S1 watch also has a 'measure your shot' function too. In which case surely setting that to 0 from where you hit your shot from and then walking to where the ball has either pitched or ended up will give you the yardage.

    So who is going Wood shopping today?

    Top gear !

    They knew exactly what they were doing. Whilst not being the "crime of the century" I still felt it was somewhat insensitive.

    New clubs - recommendations

    My advice, dont go into a this with preconceived ideas as to what's the best set of irons for you. Hit as many as you can from a variety of manufacturers and you'll soon work out what you like, and more importantly what you don't. You'll then end up with the right set of clubs for you, and not...

    How long do you keep your clubs?

    I try and stick with a set of irons for 5-6 years, and to be fair the nike pro combos I currently have are quite simply the best set of irons I've ever had, easy to hit and absolutely gorgeousl. However there is new golf "tart" on the horizon soon in the form of nike vapor blade and pro combos...

    What is a Mid-Handicap?

    Handicaps are, as you undoubtedly know, are split into 4 categories. If you want "mid handicap" surely halfway between cat 2 and cat 3 gives you the "mid" range? UP1

    The real cause of slow play.....

    Here's my (publishable) two penneth: A: course set too tough i.e. Tough pins and penal rough which coverts ultimately into lost time searching for balls. B: tee times too tightly spaced, C: too much "sky sports" - members fannying around unnecessarily during a round, UP1.

    First Time Buyer - Help

    If you've got your requirements nailed I.e you have your essentials and desirables list sorted then really over and above that I'd be looking at: Boiler, Windows / doors, kitchen and bathroom. Wouldn't be put off by dodgy decor as that's just cosmetic and easily fixable. Also be subtly...

    Virgin mobile signal

    DB, I would have replied to this earlier but my crappy internet connection got the better of me. I believe at the moment Virgin piggyback onto the T-Mobile network which at times can be more than a little iffy in terms of providing a decent signal. Like you i've been tempted into joining...
