Been dying to get involved in the golfing world so my friend suggested writing a blog....so I did.

Hopefully I'll keep it up and give some of you something to read once in a while.

Is it going to be something beyond just going through your latest round ?

Maybe have some funny stories or facts from the past or little bits of history

Be original and people will take notice - the layout is a good start - clean and sharp

Be another "and my second shot into the 8th fell short" and just missed buffer woe is me stories and people will prob get a bit bored.

It's so hard to make a blog without being a famous face so got to make it punchy

Very much so, I have a friend who yaps and yaps about his latest round and insists on talking me through every single shot. Bores the life out of me and I have no doubt that if I were to follow suit, I'd bore people with it. I've already know what my first proper post will be, relates to a very interesting incident I had in a county match a couple of weeks ago with a rule infringement. Should divide opinion!

Now that's something to look forward to - something for people to get their teeth into - especially when it has the ability to create debate :thup:

Very strange but you obviously love both the QBs, giving up a lot for 6 spots though!

Oh to have ARod on your team 😉 We'll enjoy dispatching you again this year

A decent read Chris. I've signed up and will stay tuned for me . INterested in finding out about "the incident" . Was it Jubilee Cup or Norman Plum ???

It was in the Plum. Happened 3 weeks ago and last night it was actually discussed at a committee meeting, I believe.

Should be some Jubilee stuff to come as I'm the team captain this year!
 
Was a great read, and you haven't even talked about Golf properly yet!

Having a whole post dedicated to an introduction, I think shows this blog isn't going to be like the others. (Which IS a compliment!)

Good luck and I look forward to reading the next one. Is it going to be weekly, monthly, or just as and when based on the reasons why you have started it? (This would make sense!)
 
I haven't really got a time schedule for it to be honest. I thought about putting one up weekly but some weeks I'm so busy with work I wouldn't have time to do anything with the blog at all, other weeks, like the last couple, I'd have enough time to write out 50 posts! Seriously, it's that quiet for me at the moment.

Getting some good feedback from twitter, facebook and on here regarding my first blog. A lot of people, even close friends, not really realising I was struggling with things, some not even realising I was a golfer! Although I'm pretty sure that comment was meant to be funny.
 
Well done for doing something constructive with your time, if it were me and my business was quiet, i would be working on making it busier personally, but its nice to have an escape! good luck with your endeavors!

Been there, done that, work pays my bills, nothing more, nothing less. I don't particularly enjoy my job but continue it as it allows me to be flexible, with two young kids, flexibility is very important as it means we have no need for child care the majority of the time. Also, when my work is busy, there just isn't enough hours in the day and it all becomes very stressful, if I try to increase my work load, I'd only end up letting people down when I am busy, it's a balancing act.

My logic at the moment is whilst I'm earning enough to pay the bills, I can do this in my spare time, learn how to write, what to write, try and build a following, then who knows where it will take me. I'd love to do something like this as a job, getting experience this way could help me down the line. It's all blind optimism at the moment, but you have to start somewhere.
