NO BUGGIES!!!! :TWISTED: they are for hot countries and fat yanks, anywhere else and they slow everyone up. Bruce and I got stuck behind two the other week, so they became target practice

I doubt buggies would even be allowed with the ground as it is at the moment.... small hovercraft would probably be more appropriate. I'm sure that BB's motorised trolley will be up to the task of transporting his Stellas around again. Though if you do fancy the idea of a ride in one of the most conspicuous vehicles on the road, leopard print seatcovers and all, take Billy up on his offer of a lift!

I'll aim for a tee time just before 11.

And shy and sensitive Warehouse Keepers from Radcliffe?

Ok ok I'll stroll, I'll be on the reduced cool bag anyway so I can guide the truck home, with Mummy, you'll be pleased to know, a new addition of a long haired tiger steering wheel cover - in finest nylon!

Makes me wish I was amongst all this. Was always an issue making it this time, and the injury killed any last hopes (my golf had even improved quite pleasingly). Very best of luck to all of you and have a great day out.

well i can add to that injury list now. Having pulled a calf muscle yesterday at the driving range (how the fook do you do that???) I've now just bugered it up nicely running round Sheffield. Ice pack is on in an attempt to regain my title as TW Bandit.

Not advisable, but if you want to view the rest of the course (hole by hole and worth the effort) here's the link. To use that terrible Americanism, it really was an "awesome" experience. I really did do well, considering the fact there wasn't a flat bit on it.

With my slice, Tango, a piece of piss. I'd just aim at the motorway bridge!

Beautiful Tango. I played a quick 18 at Welshpool Golf Club in Wales last week after my drum tracks were out of the way and the 18th hole was like nothing I've ever played before. You tee off on a high perch across a valley to a narrow fairway - if it was a typical flat hole it'd be an extreme dog-leg left almost at right angles.

This is the view from about 40 yards to the right of the tee area with the green just to the right of the small house - the clubhouse.

I hit two superb 3-woods to within 15 yards of each other - mainly because I wasn't sure where the first went as I couldn't see it land.

£5 after 3pm and probably the best greens I've ever played on.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend. I hope the rain holds off and the course is open!

Weather forecast is less than agreeable. Are we sure about this?

Didn't want to be the one to put a damper on things Fatshaft, but, seeing the state of my garden (even the lawns are awash) I did fear a bit for you all. Son-in-law is a mad keen golfer and plays comps every Saturday and Sunday, but they didn't play at all last weekend. Hope it works out okay for you.

A Scotsman worrying about the weather? Surely not.

It'll be a little wet underfoot, and perhaps a little wet in the air, too, but does that really matter? It's golf, not beach volleyball (which is a good thing, as I've no desire to see Commie in his speedos) - let's not be a bunch of tarts and just get on with it.

Besides, metcheck.com says it'll be dry in Mold on Sunday

Fair enough. I don't mind the wet for medals, it always reduces the amount of the field that has a chance, but for friendlies I like a bit of sun on my back. (yes I know Commie, it's not a friendly)
