Hi, guys.

Further to 5 enquiries re: past golfing threads plus 3 requests for me to start a new one, just thought I would get the ball rolling pre-Xmas as the long winter nights draw in. So, now let us talk amongst ourselves about ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING CONCERNING the wonderful pastime of: GOLF.

Herewith I start this in good nature to encourage "friendly banter" devoid of hostility amongst fellow golfers: whether they be Pro's, Category One players, average club players, high handicappers or even weekend hackers! Let's all have a friendly chat here...

plyed yesterday and today, then break tomorrow (lunch on oysters and some intersting Austrian white wine with my my mother), followed by golf Sunday and Monday ... then back to the office for a break!

Hi Eric

Just starting to get back into the 'swing' once more. Quite difficult at the moment, not least because I'm knackered after 15 holes. Driving the ball miles, but irons and the short game struggling after such a long lay off. Longcliffe is looking great this year already. Big rumpus last year over the state of the course, resulting in a new Captain of Greens and work parties tidying up the areas the Green's Staff don't have time for. First comp on Monday followed by a team match on the 12th and first medal a week on Saturday.
