Title: Into golf?
Post by: leefer on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 19:31:17
Ime off to Wentworth next week to watch Swindons David Howell amongst others,if youve never been to watch its a real good day out,and relatively cheap,only 25 pounds for the day including parking,my sisters driving so i shall take a few bottles of red and hope the weather is good,the following week its the Welsh Open in Newport and i intend to spend abit of time there,so if youve never been i can recomend it as being a good day out even if your not a major golf fan,with plenty of Beer tents if the weather isnt great.

I'll have you know, I occasionally play at Broome Manor or CW and I'm fucking good.

I love my golf but only ever been live a couple of times, should go more really.

I went to Bowood ages ago for a golf tournament and they had Nigel Mansell, Jasper Carrot and Paul Bodin amongst a few others.  Great day out and really good fun.

Golf is quality.
Snooker does my head in though.

I can only watch golf if I'm actually there by the course.  I can't really get into it on TV.  Snooker is quality I agree.

went yesterday and followed darren clarke and thomas levet around.loved it superb day out.
a big boo to monty who is a prima donna and grumpy sod though.
all the players were happy to give autographs to a couple of kids who were getting them near the practice ground as they arrived to warm up.
whilst watching the players warming up, a steward tells the group "you have to vacate this area now" then up rolled monty who then ignored the two lads who wanted his signature.
went downhill big time in my estimations as a man yesterday.
can see why he gets stick off the yanks now.

i've got my works golf day tomorrow (wednesday) up at Branston Golf Club
http://www.branston-golf-club.co.uk/
i've not played since the start of Sept and have only been up the driving range once since my operation. Was a bit rubbish really!!!!
So i've put myself back to 28 handicap (was 20) as i know i'll be extremely rusty. Should help with the Stableford

looking forward to it though if the weather is good  8)
