And I'm just about to leave the office of the course.
Still, at least the course will be quieter than it may have been...

Was going for a bit of practice,and as soon as i mention golf clubs, bingo rain,bah humbug. 
I'm just back from a game with Wackygolfer, and i'm pleased to say we missed most of the rain, just a few light showers.

Heavy showers this afternoon but nice and sunny now. No good to me as I'm tied to the keyboard working on next months magazine piece. How to condense 8 pages on electric trollies into 200 words!

Been out today on the wrong side of the pennines with Doh & GJbike. Weather held right up to the 18th. Nice peaceful course.
Tee balls left something to be desired.
Highlight, GJ pitching in for Eagle from just under 100yds, quickly followed by my S***k from 40 at the same hole Aaaaaagh!!!
Back on the right side of the pennines, it looks very black above

been lovly all day here ! been warm today ! should of gone golf today because i didn't have school
mitch,
you make sure you keep going to school. I bunked off the entire 5th year from January until the end of school and only went in to do my exams. I was working at the golf club as an assistant on £40 (cash in hand initially) which was pretty decent money back in 1982
Suffice to say I then had to knuckle down the following year but passed everything by January and so was free to leave and become an assistant. If I'd realised then that I could have written for a living I'd have studied and take a university degree and not tried to make a living from golf. That said I have no real regrets. Make sure you don't either by getting as many exams as possible.

2 hours a day, whats the point? You'll just be getting started and it'll be time to wrap up.
Waste of time if you ask me.

Oh! Lets not do the whole 'why go to Uni for 4 years and rack up a shed load of debt, when it could be done in two' mallarky!!
That's just how it is at the moment, and we ain't ever going to change it.

Who mentioned Uni or 4 years?
You class 2 hours a day as worthwhile learning?
Personally I wouldn't get out of bed for 2 hours.

I still think that a University education should be free. Only for those who qualify, (no degrees in David Beckham), but for a proper degree, it leads to higher salaries, hence more tax paid, so the gov should subsidise it to reap the rewards later. No student loans. It is wrong. Like paying for something twice.
