I had a few of them in my working day. One I regret missing out on was playing Wisley. One of my companies high heid yins was to play and I was to be his partner, but he pulled out at last minute and that was that. 25yrs later I still haven’t played Wisley.

The only invite I ever had for a work related freebie was to play Turnberry about 40 years ago . Unfortunately I had a job interview that day for a new job and couldn't play. Have never played it since.

My index is now down to 12.0.

Another couple of good rounds on Friday and Saturday saw a 0.3 and 0.2 cut to get me there

Yes, there was a helping wind.
Yes, it was an elevated tee box.
Yes, it was a (slighty) downhill landing area.
Yes, my watch strap looks too tight.
But this is comfortably my longest ever drive (only my third over 300 yds) and about 100 yds longer than my normal drives! This is why we keep coming back.

Did you get a birdie?

Yesterday seeing the world’s #2 female amateur golfer back on the putting green of my simply very decent Surrey club doing what she does…practicing her putting with a single ball…you only get one go at any putt. As she, and we all know, can make all the difference. And nice having a short chat with her.

Did you get a birdie?

No, of course not. I missed the green from 70 yards.
Managed to scramble a par.

Playing both days of club champs. After my injurie issues wanted to make the cut (with ease as it turned out) and not too bad a second round. All the pain from the physio exercises worth it

 

[PaulMdj]

Playing Bamburgh, Goswick and Dunstanburgh over the next few days.

 

[Billysboots]

Doing the first two later in the year. Be interested to hear your thoughts on them.

May the wind be gentle for you . Quality stuff.

Sorry you've misread the watch. At 3.22 in the afternoon you knobbed the ball just over 2 yards !!

Well done though

Praying the forecast is correct… for once

 

[patricks148]

one of my mates has really bad eyesight and struggles to follow his ball, so you have to watch where his drive goes around Tain. one of our usual group was ill on Sunday and another guy joined us in the comp. he kept saying to Rob, its heading towards that yellow bush.

if you have ever been to Tain in Spring /early summer or any gorse/ Broom lined course you would understand that didn't narrow it down

Not sure how many times I've watched this and I'm sure its been shared before but i think its worth a repost

…and so today…Lottie is Women’s WAGR #1 - first Briton to achieve World #1 amateur standing. Fantastically well done and merited Lottie, and well done to Luke her coach. My golf club is an extremely proud club today. From little acorns do oak trees grow…lots more growing to come.

Cracking drive and I was going to comment on the colour of that glove until I noticed you use a 12H clock, you absolute monster.
