Default Golf

My wife has decided to take up golf so she can play with me sometimes.

Just won the monthly medal at my club and my handicap will also be cut?

Hope the wife does not affect my handicap as well?

What is it with business people and Golf

Have tried, but have no god given ability, and quite frankly I'm a menace on the fairway. Far from relaxing, it makes me aggressive and frustrated

Shall stick to watching you all from the clubhouse <hic>

Its good exercise, can network and get out to see the sun.

My golf is so much better as I got older, in fact with the advances in clubs and balls, i am hitting longer by 10-15 yards per club.

Well better get back to the 19th hole.

Hi Mark,

what are you playing off now then?

i love golf but have to admit i dont have the patience for it sometimes. best game in the world when you are playing well, but i'd have to say nothing frustrates me more when hitting duff shots.

I personally have a lot of time for golf, especially when the sun is gleaming

I've never got round to getting a handicap though, I think if I do that, it will take the enjoyment out of the game, I would rather just laugh at my mistakes, than worry about my handicap if I mess up!!

But I digress..

Well the handicap is now 14, so must be doing something right.

The last few weeks have been excellent weather for golf, but also my business, so its a balancing act at present.

Anyone happen to catch the open?

Silly old woods and his potty mouth

Tigers Potty Mouth

It's a shame, he's his own worst enemy really.

Who changes their putter just before a major competition and with the minimum of practice? Has Tiger lost his way?
