Couldn't stay away......

Given that I never even tried a cigarette, let alone had to give them up, I'd just like to know what's happened to all the money I saved ?

You’re married aren’t you?

Well, there is that ?

I am reminded-

There used to be 400 fags in the shopping trolley when we loaded up the car. we both gave up just before the kids were born- I think I know where the money went.

Have you seen the price of a pkt of 20 fags nowadays???
Haven't got a clue how people can afford to smoke 20 a day!!!

Go on, frighten me, says a man who is 2 weeks short of 25 years of non smoking.

Enjoy Rob, it's a lovely course.

You be hard pressed to stick a ball into the sea there, from what I can remember ?

True. But the turf doesn't lend itself to being a links course either.
Sure, there are a few fairways that have some humps and hollows and there aren't that many trees around.
But it ain't a links course.

My brother is on 40 a day. He clearly has no other expenditure ?

Enjoy the new lease of life. A new perspective after a serious health scare really does make you appreciate things so much more.

Don't know what it is about Cooden but every time I go down there, whether it's for Sunday lunch with the Missus or to just to pop into the pro shop, I look down the 1st fairway and just want to play.
Sounds weird I know, but it's like a first time visit to a golf course you've been looking forward to playing for years.

If anyone can, you can Simon.
And possibly Paul Nash...

Jesus, never realised that a 50g pack f baccy was 26 quid. No wonder the mate who feeds my can when I am on holiday was over the moon. Brought her back our full allowances of 500g of golden virginia so basically saved her £260 and it only cost me £40

My thoughts on smoking are known, if folk want to spoke they know the risks. On a few of my holidays I have brought rolling baca for a couple of the lads. Not made a penny on it. One of the lads told me how much I had saved him. Sweet lord the tax on it must be colossal.
Re Smiffy and Colden, I know exactly what he means re looking at the first Tee and wanting to smack a ball. Sherwood is my nearest and that is exactly the same when looking out of the lounge window.

Just looked at the price of a pkt of 20 Marlborough, which would be my choice if I was smoking "tailor mades".... £12.55 ???
So my 20 a day habit would cost me £87.85 a week, or £380.00 per month
Bloody frightening.
