Golf Monthly on Twitter

[MikeH]

Morning all

we have been developing a little side offering on Twitter over the last couple of weeks. It's a combo of an office blog, some exclusive pics and other bits and bobs

We would run this through the regular GM site but our content management system makes it very long winded and time consuming!

Have a look by and if you're already using Twitter, follow us and we'll follow you

well? who was it or do i need to read your tweet ? ( getting the twitter lingo )

 

[MikeH]

ah, now how long have you got.....

Myself, Tom (sub editor) Michael (junior staff writer) and Bill Elliott (editor at large) we given days of grief by Neil (deputy ed) and Paul O'H (staff writer) because apparently we held them up at a recent GM outing to Remedy Oak.

Apparently it made them play badly

The other two in their 4 ball didn't have an issue.

I rest my case

 

[Richieb]

sounds like goatism to me

goatism: to scapegopat ones own ppp (piss poor performance) with Scurrilous accusations of others wilfull slow play.

(note to self:- remeber slow play complaint next time playing like a di*k)

Thanks, I don't like to blow my own trumpet, as I don't have a trumpet, or any other brass instrument, or infact play any instrument of any kind.
Infact, the closest thing to musical talent I have is girls aloud on my ipod.

at a recent GM outing to Remedy Oak.

Ah - Remedy is on my list for this year, only 15 miles away. I have a friend who is a member, but he has a list of people long as your arm who want to play with him. Was it good?

The website (IMO) is one of the best as far as course planners goes.

we thought Remedy was a very good track. Would like to play it in the summer as it was a bit wet underfoot in Feb when we played
On the plus side - some great risk reward holes, stunning setting and very tranquil, scary fast greens, good clubhouse
One the minus - walks between nearly every green and tee, routing takes in 3 par 3s in five holes which unbalances it a bit, 18th is real marmite hole

 

[Canfordhacker]

Cheers Mike. My mates who have already played tend to say they are happy to spend 5 hours on a summer evening there, simply because it's a great place to be, it's usually empty, and the green to tee walks are as you describe. And Marmite is definitely the raction they give to 18!
