Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Slept in till 08.30 today. Myself and Mrs D think we have had some sort of virus for a while. Feel fine most of the time but every now & again go dizzy. Happened to me while on the golf course yesterday. I did think i would keel over but the feeling only lasted minutes.
But it earned me a lie in today ^_^


And from me as well. Take care

A quarter to eight? That's half the day gone!


You're right! ... I'm gonna start getting up earlier, although I do get up at 7.30 make tea and back to bed until 9 o/c. Then time I have breakfast, take the dog out it's lunchtime, half the day gone and nothing done. So that's gonna be my new years resolution, no good rushing these things! ;)

@Dave7 take care of yourself, :hugs: BTW what's your handicap?

Can I tell you what it used to be :blush:.
It used to be 18.
Its now 27.
Our seniors section is well supported (60-70 play in Thursday comps) amazing how many of them used to play off eg 10,12,15 but now all in the 20s.
Age is a real barsteward.

It certainly can be! Last time I played was about 10 years ago and used to try to brake the 100, never did but loved playing.

Is there anything in the rules that says either, the ball must be hit forward on the first stroke, or it must be hit from the ground?

No to both of those questions if its the 1st stroke.
Seriously though.....would you want your ball to go backwards on the first stroke?
Seen it played about three feet vertically, on the first strike. Then 400+ yards on the drive/follow through.

Good Day all. I've been awake too long :sad: Looking good outside the window so I think we will have a nice day.

I've just decided to haul myself out of bed, get straight in to my gym kit and go spinning at 9.00. I did bugger all yesterday.

Mrs P still coughing and spluttering - I can hear her from the spare room where I've taken up residence until the infection passes. :laugh:
