Golf & The Art of Business

Last year I decided to join Saunton Golf Club as a Country Member. It’s a course I’d played a few times before and one of the first golf clubs I went to in the year that I took up golf. So this year MrsG and I decided to go down to Saunton for the whole […]

I had a great day out at St Pierre on Thursday 4 July 2013 playing in the William Hunt Trilby Tour for the third time. The first two times I played at Trevose, scoring 28 & then 32 points (off 8, with 3/4 handicap so given 6 shots). Nice progression in the my game. My […]

Having just finished ten days golfing at the excellent Belle Mare Plage resort in Mauritius, my wife and I were reflecting on some of our on-course discussions during our eight rounds of golf! Most typically they settled on the position of the ladies tees on some holes. Let’s take The Links course for example. A […]

Day two of our Mauritius golfing odyssey at Belle Mare Plage saw us take on The Legend course.  This was where David Frost (RSA) won the MCB Tour Championship last December.  Albeit off the blue tees (6,588 yards) with me off the white tees (6,178 yards).  Although I did have a caddie the same as […]

I had a week in New York City last week on a combined pleasure/business trip so took my clubs.  On Saturday I decided to go out to BethPage State Park and play some golf. Unfortunately I was there a week before the Black Course opened so had to settle for one of the others. I […]

This season was a bit of a disaster for me personally. Back in the summer I was 8:2 up on my best friend Mark having had a great run of form during the spring & early summer. However, in the later half of the year my form deserted me just at the same time as […]

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 […]
