I don't fight dirty. I don't fight. But if I had to take down the assistant editor (Alex Narey), who reminds me of Jason Statham (I do have a lady friend), then I would do so with a Chinese burn, an effective way of inducing pain without being hard.
 
Good call Narey

As Jezz knows to his cost Tappers is liable to use the scorecard as an offensive weapon when he's just three-jacked from nowhere
 
I have a couple of putters he can try as I'm sure he's been through the GM equipment cupboard like a dose of salts looking for the cure to his putting woes. I have visions of him using the card like oddjob at Stoke Park in the famous Bond scene and taking a concrete statue out with a flick of his wrist and the sad and tattered card.
 
Back to the swing analysis briefly...

Jezz, I've just got off the phone to David Leadbetter. Apparently he has started using video footage of your swing when working with new pupils. He told me, and I quote, "when a beginner walks through the door, they need a confidence boost. They need to know that there's more than one way to skin a cat. So I put their swing next to Jeremy's and suddenly they feel like Ernie Els. It's amazing, it works every time."

Sorry Jezz, I'm just quoting Mr Leadbetter!

Very close to the truth HJS

It went a little like this

Golf Monthly order of merit fixture. 17th Hole Temple GC, Berkshire.
Neil Tappin, having just three whacked the hole from about 10ft to relinquish the lead, storms off to the 18th hole.

Jezz, who has just made a typically gritty par follows him to the tee and asks (some might say mischeviously).

"Tappers, what's the scores on the doors."

Neil, steam coming out of ears, takes the card out of back pocket and with a flick of the wrist sends it flying towards Jezz's face.
"I don't know Jezza, why don't you work it out for your *&#!!^^ self"

The group tee off and play the hole in total silence.
 
Tappers,

Is that the same David Leadbetter who has now lost all his star pupils with the exception of the all-conquering Michelle Wie?

As an aside, while Michael Weston undoubtedly has potential, it is incidents such as those on the 10th tee at Kingswood recently that really eat away at him.

Playing in the group behind him on the 9th green, I'm just lining up my 8-footer to try and save bogey, when a sound like a bullet making contact echoes round the green from the direction of the nearby halfway hut. Convinced we are going to go in there and find the bacon butty man unconscious on the floor with an imprint of Michael's Donnay Titanium on his bleeding forehead, we nervously put our heads through the door.

All, amazingly is okay, and moments later, Michael appears sheepishly round the corner clearly taking no further part in the long par 3 10th. Transpires his tee shot has come out a little low and taken out a sign saying 'no trolleys on tees' or similar, resulting in one nice golf ball shaped hole in the previously pristine sign and one lost ball.

As I say lots of potential, but just one or two elements still missing...
 
It was probably that yomp up the hill ion the 17th that took it out of him which is why he three stabbed. The youth of today weren't brought up on 36 holes per day like Jezz and Mike and more happy in front of TW on the X box.

Surely such language and abuse has to be worth some sort of fine (docking of OOM points etc).
 
Thank you Jezz, ahhh the tee shot on 10 at Kingswood. It was on its way perfectly, kept it nice and low under the wind (there was none) only to hit a poorly placed sign. Yes such moments do eat away at me. Any potential is lost as I have issues in the head!
 
:D

Wonder if the mag will arrive on time this month or if it will be replaced with a letter reading

Sorry

GM staff currently in A&E

Mag will be with you ASAP
