Wife’s Diary: Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn’t […]

I had a lesson last week with @PaulMitchell and we’ve started work on my winter swing changes. The first hour we just looked at me widening my takeaway in order to stop me taking the club back on the inside. Then instead of a change of direction, coming “over the top” on the start of […]

My week of links golf continued this week with a two day trip to Birkdale.  The plan was to play on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.  I’ve been very lucky to play some of the great links courses in the UK over the last six years (The Old Course, Prestwick, Royal Troon, Turnberry, Saunton, Princes, […]

Today I had the pleasure of playing at Royal Porthcawl for the first time.  A quick flit from Bristol along the M4 and over the River Severn, scoot past Cardiff and hang a left takes you down to the coast.  As you approach the clubhouse you pass the old Miners Rest which was established as a […]

What a fantastic day out yesterday on The Ailsa Course at Turnberry Resort. A twilight rate of £95, teeing off at 4pm with MrsG. We were paired with two other guys, but after two great drives, two greens in regulation and two two putts from yours truly, they politely asked us to “go on” and […]

Today was the first round of our Club Championships.  I had a reasonable start time of 8:40 and then proceeded to have a distinctly average round as you can see from below.

For the fifth year in the row I had the pleasure of playing in the Boys & Maughan Solicitors annual charity golf day. This year was a bit different as I stayed at the brand new The Lodge at Princes. I’ve driven past this place for the last four years that I’ve been coming down […]

Yesterday was my second time playing on the William Hunt Trilby Tour at Trevose and I have to say, it was just as much fun as last year. As a reasonable 8 handicap player, it’s about as close to what I imagine a proper Tour event might be like. Look, they even have a great […]

I had an hour & a half with my teacher, Paul Mitchell from Bristol & Clifton, this morning.  Here’s the result of trying to hit him with close to 100 balls! Club/Shot Distance Club/Shot Distance 52 grip down 36 yds 7 146-153 yds 58 grip down 30 yds 6 155-160 yds 52 3/4 66-70 yds […]
