Natalie Gulbis AND Michelle Wie in Lycra... That's the thought that's with me all day now... Thanks JJ :D

Shhhh JJ I'm supposed to be working... :lol:

Brilliant ABC, you gave me the best laugh of the day there. Referring to golf as boring pish and then running your comparison as..... Road Cycling... oooh my spine tingles every time I see those lycra clad fellows slog it out pedalling along the.... well, along the road. Like I see people do...

CD.... CD...? Heard that term somewhere before... On IDrive I have Tydi - Shooting Stars, Orjan Nielsen - In My Opinion, Above & Beyond - Group Therapy and Roger Shah - Openminded. Great Balearic sounds to wash away the winter greys and blast the open road.

Always happy to offer fellow players the opportunity to widen their "played course" portfolio :D Oh and a wee tip too, Titleist have released a new ball (well latter part of last year) to combat Srixon's AD333, it's called the Tour Distance - I have used these and find them far superior to...

Yep, the system at TOC is fair to all and sundry as far as guest tees go. Well any time you guys are back up Fife way you are welcome to a round (or two) at muckhart for a tenner :D The father-in-law plays on the PGA Seniors tour and I plan to caddy for him a bit more this year after...

He ish apparently a regular at Shaint Andrews Shooey (see what I done there :D) Apparently also an awesome golfer. I feel privileged to live in Fife surrounded by so many wonderful courses, but I also feel blessed to have played on some great courses down south. Slaley Hall's Hunting...

Oh I dunno about that JJ, I use a couple of Taylormade Z-TP wedges with Srixon AD333 balls and the grooves strip the cover off the ball when I really dig in to it :D that sweet contact when you just know that it's time to get the pitch-mark repair tool out. I now use Mizuno blades having...

Yep, I know that "feels right" moment, with the driver or with the putter it's the same "I've nailed that" feeling. I think that Par 3's can play with your mind, especially the shorter they are. You either overcook it or you are so short you could have thrown the ball further :D Mate of...

Sooey - 2 rounds is the way ahead, that's my normal Sunday :D. When you play a great course it often does seem to fly-by. JJ - Muirfield is now about the equivalent of about 2 weeks wages :lol: Aberlady has fallen in to a bit of disrepair, as has Longniddry. I played in a charity...

Nope, you didn't. but you survived and that's the important thing :D :lol: I think my best at Crail was a 79 in August last year and that was me playing "out of my skin".

JJ if that had been me I'd have fainted - first at getting any spin with a 5 iron and second at the distance :D:D Closest I have been was about 10 inches, ironically on the longest Par 3 I have ever played (at 223Y - how it was a par 3 is anyone's guess).

Crail is lovely (a hard course too, so I doff my hat to you that you survived it :D). St Andrews is, IMO, a tad over-rated and over priced. I have played the Old Course several times, but if I want to play a truly great links course, I head to a wee place in East Lothian (not far from...

I will now go straight to p178 when it arrives, you realise this :D But your copy will have been shiny and new, I went for a 2nd hand one as that's all they had :(

Guy I'm sat next to in the office is a member at Lundin Links, great course - one of the hidden gems. I don't think being a "fair weather" golfer is a bad thing at all, I'm an all year player but most folk thing I'm mad for playing in sub-zero temperatures and when it's raining heavy...

Blas, I think it's because many can see the point of the walking in beautifully tended landscapes but can't get the hitting the little white ball part. My home course is a collection of 3 nine-hole courses right at the foot of the beautiful Ochil Hills in Fife, there is a hole named "Top O...

I'm an avid golfer, I love the game despite it being so frustrating. A load of colleagues reckon that it's just a waste of a walk. Are there any fellow fairwaymen (or women) out there or are you of the opinion that golf is not so great? Can we at least try to keep this one on topic please...

Wall is one block thick (around 200mm I would guestimate), no piers and is 4ft high (in places - the end at the boundary wall is higher where the garden dips away)

I have a wall round back of my house that is built of concrete block. It's in two sections, a small 4ft section from the house to the gate opening and then long 30ft section that butts up to the main boundary wall. During the high winds in mid January (we had 112mph), the small section's...

Thanks Alarm, just bought a copy for £2.71 :D As it's Amazon (and it's now situated 5 miles from my house) I should expect delivery sometime in July... :lol:
