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...

think i would tend to go for one of Harry Colt's courses for that

Eric, great players can adapt & improvise accordingly - it's a gift only the chosen few are born with.

Cynic,
Is it The Temple Golf Club or Temple Artisans Golf Club.

It's one and the same ..... Temple is one of the few remaining clubs with an Artisan section

May have a break from golf now, I think? A tad too cold - even for me!

don't be such a wuss! ...... have already "inherited" soul* in his wheelchair so don't need another!

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Think I'll have a rest first though!

well tough couple of days ahead for me ...... golf midday tomorrow at "the course within the housing estate" and a golf memorial day for a now-deceased great pal of mine at the Knole (Sevenoaks) on Thursday ..... God bless mobile phones and connections to the office network from my home PC!

It would take some one special to get me on the course midweek in these conditions , ( low handicap attractive female )

and of course she would actually want to play with you ..... all in all, an unlikely combination

Yes , more chance of goo hitting 18p by xmas !

on the other hand, when i was last in S'pore, played with a young lady with looks and talent and conversational skills with humour ....... enjoyed being well thrashed!

Yes but , what about the golf !

totally irrelevant .... lol!

Steady on, chaps!

Still enjoying a total break from GOLF this weekend, myself.

Anyone else planning to hack over Yuletide, at all?

Playing tomorrow in key WL match, but fear the worst as am certainly not on form at the mo ..... must concentrate harder! ...... Thursday - cycling down to Bath with No 2 son for Christmas break! .... others have more sense and coming by car on Friday! ...... so no golf after tomorrow until NY Eve ..... unles i squeeze in a few holes or some practice between 27 and 31

Markus, may be up for a game or two over xmas break .

Winter league quarter final on Monday, 4BBB. Won 2&1 with better ball 49 points. I thought afterwards it was a bit unfair! Our opponents off 6 and 10 were bb one under gross so they didn't really have a chance! They won 4 holes, 3 with birdies. Semi final opponents off 12 and 15 so they have more of a chance! And they are talking about a full handicap difference (rather than 3/4) in January! Would vote against it as you need to give them some hope!
