  1. Our course has a zero tolerance to illegal drugs. A member would get a six month suspension if caught.
  2. Matchplay off level. Lost one down and played really well. Opponent was great company.
  3. Simpler designs. My 1995 Anser 30th is getting a run out this morning.
  4. 30 stableford points. First 8 holes were a mess. Played 9 through 18 in 4 over gross for 20 points.
  5. Met IBF at Dunhill Cup. Charming man. Enjoy your retirement.

    2025 ProV1s

    Excellent stopping power, and good durability, but the V1 flies too flat, and the V1X feels too hard.
  7. Turnberry has no chance. The R&A want a minimum of 250k punters in Open week. There is no infrastructure around Turnberry and the course couldn't handle those numbers. Muirfield and Royal Lytham are on the backburner. RL has spent a fortune altering holes, installing a new driving range, and freeing up space for stands and concessions. Next years Ladies Open may be a trial run. Portmarnock is in Ireland. A separate nation state, and has its own perfectly good open championship. Taking The Open outside the UK would be the end of its status in many fans eyes. You wouldn't host the US Open in Mexico. Portrush is guaranteed two more in quick succession as the Northern Ireland Government have subsidised the alterations and improved logistics (which are still poor). Carnoustie is not "sexy" enough for the R&A marketing gurus, despite offering a magnificent test. RSG is the safest venue. Nothing else in the area and London less than 60 miles away. Also brings in European fans.
  8. I do believe the sainted Arnold Palmer once destroyed a metal locker after blowing a good lead.
  9. How can someone who hits so many great shots be boring? I watched him at Renaissance. His ball striking is a joy to behold.
  10. At least 8. He has no discernable weaknesses. Long, strong short game, massively improved putting. And a very strong character and mental game.
  11. I doubt BK is on Keegan's radar.
  12. Love it. Way better than the cheap and dated green and white.
  13. Low tier food? World class meat, dairy, breads, beer etc.
