For those of you that are still waiting, there is always hope.

That's my brothers course and was with him when he had his hole in one
.There are 6 par 3's but still a great achievment

Playing in shirt sleeves - in November

I teed off at 8:30 on Sunday, after the fog had cleared enough to see down the fairway. Five holes in and it was gloriously sunny and warm. I was actually feeling too hot in a long sleeve base layer under my polo... although the wind picked up on the back nine and got a little cooler. Love it

The assistant pro from Chippenham, James Cooper has just completed his 4th (and sadly final) round in Q School. He opened up with a +4, but improved with 2 level par rounds and a final -1 round today. He hasn't made the cut but for someone who isn't playing full time (or even regularly), and spends his day in the pro shop or giving lessons, his accomplishments have been brilliant. Hopefully he can build on this next year and go onto being a full time player.

Well the weather wasn't great and nor was the golf but we saw a lovely double rainbow whilst standing on the 18th tee.

Just had an email from the club pro telling me my new driver is in the shop and my account balance is still in credit............................ £0.05
Time for that smugface again.

Have to confess I always thought you were a little older.

Total big headedness... but it is cool to WhatsApp one of the players now finished in dubai to congratulate him on his good season on the dpwt (not like i had anything to do with it)

He did well, each round was better than the previous.

The young lad we started playing in the 1980's and who turned Pro has just seen his boy selected for the England mens squad.

Watching my wife really enjoying herself in the golf course. Confidence is growing, lots of smiles, lots of good shots, asking did you see what I just did! I also couldn’t help but laugh at how she’s developed some of my mannerisms/quirks. Such as after every practice swing with and iron, chip or putt she would wipe the face of the club on her left trouser leg left prior to set up or aligning her ball on the tee with the black dot marked on it with where she wants the club face to hit it, plus a couple of others

My personal favourite is one she’s developed herself she has a Jelly Cat golf ball plush thing on her bag (apparently there no excuse to not have your bag looking cute), every time she takes a club out now it gets a little squeeze for luck! When she was doing it she caught me chuckling and said well if it’s good enough for you to do weird stuff I can to

It’s been a good day

A very happy 86th birthday to Lee Trevino

Couple of things immediately spring to mind...his chip in from off the green on the 17th at Muirfield - a chip in that rattled Jacklin who three-putted - and Trevino won on the 18th. And of course watching BBC's Pro-Celebrity Golf with my dad - mostly I recall the Gleneagles Kings Course rounds. Yapping away (sometimes must have been irritating for the other Pro and the Celebs) but every round conjuring the most fabulous golf shots. Wonderful. Oh the happy and blissfully innocent and carefree days of the 70s and early 80s.

Door bell just rang.

Donna lost her mum last week. It was one of the St Pierre ladies committee, with a large bouquet of flowers and a card from the Section.

How thoughtful. Some nice folk play golf.
