I take it you didn't have the playing lesson I suggested weeks ago?

Bit complicated. Not sure if answered to that effect at the time. I have lessons at a range where there is only a pitch and putt attached and my teaching pro (and my club) are reluctant for him to come to Royal Ascot as it could be seen as taken potential income from the pro. Add the fact that the pro we've had in post has recently left to move to Hampshire and we've a new one coming in and finding his feet.

To be honest the playing lesson isn't high on my priorities for now (given how difficult a course can be to play when wet and muddy in winter) and I have found the transition from what I've been shown into play recently easy to make recently. I just had one of those days yesterday where I couldn't do a thing right and the tempo and timing were all over the place and I couldn't make a putt and three putted too often. 19 points (9 out and 10 back) and I tried all the way round

Just ask him to show up undercover and play a round with you at your club? Played a few rounds with my old teaching pro .. can't stop that
 
A & e wait times

9pm daughter throws up
10pm 111 says bring her to a & e as could be concussion

12am see nurse told wait for Dr

4am seen Dr and told all ok

She stopped being sick at midnight
She kept food and water down from midnight

4 hours for the Dr? Also I always thought they had a priority system .. thought being head and a toddler she would be top of list

Nope this 14 year old lad who had a fight at school got seen before her for his fracture hand ..

Whilst a poor 5 year old girl is being sick in corner (not my daughter )

Maybe just when I was younger fractures were lowest priority

He's actually a well known face and the range is only a mile or so from the club so going "undercover" not possible especially as he teaches a number of the membership. Also he feels as a pro it's unethical to turn up and use the facilities to teach. I guess the only option would be for me to pay a green fee somewhere, him to use PGA access and do it on a "neutral" course and for him to then jump off after an hour or however many holes he can do. Clearly with a full teaching diary (and travel time) he wouldn't want to play a full round

I agree and thought concussion was a priority. I suggest that as food and water stayed down, they were happy to keep your daughter under observation. Hard to say about 4 hours for a doctor although in my opinion does seem a long time but could be dependant on number of factors. On the plus side it sounds as though she isn't too bad and hopefully will start to feel better soon but as aprent I can see how you'd be annoyed at what happened

That's the thing there was no observation it is more a case of if we feel it gets worse we press the buzzer and rush her back into the ward

Your sent back to child a & e waiting area

We ended up sitting on floor due to lack of sitting but id put that down to it being children so you don't get people on own you get 2 or 3 people with them .

Least it's free and hasnt wiped out our finances like if we were in America .
 
Sat here at work will absolutely NOTHING TO DO. Our only customer has now gone. Boss has said (by phone call from another site last week) "to carry on as normal".

THERE IS NOTHING TO DO !!!!!

I'm off to have a wander around the site to try and find the two deer we have.

In fairness I've had barely any work to do for about two months. That's why I'm on here all the time.
