Heron's Reach.

Just got back from playing Heron's Reach in Blackpool. 18 hole, sort of links type course. Pretty good, bit too much water for my liking, which I found, regularly.

Driving was good though, the new Ram Qub3 is working well. Square drivers are the new black.

And, Scary is also a golf addict..... And he mentioned my blog, so in the age old (about 3 years) tradition, I mention his.

(Disclaimer: He is mad, and obsessed with poo, and Sarah Beeny)

Torrancisms.

Sam Torrance is one of the best-known golfers of recent years. He is also one of the most sarcastic bastards ever to swing a club:

"Hmmm. I think you ought to have 2 inches taken off your clubs."
"Really?"
"Yes. They'll fit in the bin much easier."

"Watching you play, I think you ought to not play golf for a couple of
weeks. Then give it up all together."

(amateur hits a terrible slice)
"Damn!"
"You've got some shit on the end of your club", (opponent lifts up
driver to look at the bottom), "other end".



Youngsters

I was watching the US Women's Open the other week and something struck me:

* That 12 year old Alexis Thompson is better now than I will ever be

(sigh) and still we play on....
