@NCG_com Perfectly put. And absolutely correct on the antidote!

You might know it as fusarium but don’t be fooled. Microdochium patch is very bad news for your golf course 🫣 🔗 vist.ly/4tuwy

Last year, @NCG_com named us the second best value course in England. With winter green fees starting at £30 to play our Top 100 Alister MacKenzie links, it’s easy to see why. Read more here: bit.ly/3O0LhGG

@Tweed_Barnesy Louise was lovely. Every time you were in her company she made you feel special. She was a great listener and her never made the conversation about her.

A touch of class from Arsenal who always remember Sunderland’s late press officer Louise Wanless 👏🙏❤️🤍 #arsenal #safc

@Guymowbray Agree Guy. The lack of awareness of how it affects others is bewildering and disrespectful

I can’t think of the last train journey I had that didn’t involve multiple people ‘sharing’ what they’re listening to on their phones with the entire ****** carriage. 😡

@secretclubprov Absolutely.. biggest learning Ive been on. They dont just cut grass! They solve engineering problems, mechanical breakdowns, climate issues, agronomy, working knowledge of chemicals. I could go on.

It should be mandatory for every trainee PGA professional to do a minimum of two weeks with the greenstaff,the reality of what you think they do versus what they actually do is unbelievable,one of the most useful things I ever did 👌

@cookiejargolf @Hainesy76 👏👏

The results are always so satisfying. Hat Tip 🎩: @Hainesy76 🧵 3/3

Quickly becoming a bit of a Sunday morning ritual. 10 minute job to bring the Premiere’s back to full health 🧵 1/3

@AcademyOfLight Talented but most importantly lovely lad. Good luck Ben

From joining the AoL at six to leaving at 21. A journey shaped on Wearside ♥️

@afneil Oh for goodness sake RR I thought the adults were in charge? Seems all thats needed is for the children to stamp their feet and the sweeties are handed out! QT last night was illuminating Ken Clarke put a panel of novices to shame. You do whats right for the country!

Having rolled the pitch for income tax rises, Chancellor Reeves has now bottled it, under pressure from 10 Downing Street, which fears Keir Starmer could not survive such a major manifesto breach. But the debt markets are not keen on a smorgasbord of small tax rises, which never deliver the predicted revenues. So gilt yields are already surging across the curve at the market open, with the yield on the 30-year bond up 14 basis points. Yields on bonds of all maturities are up more than 10 basis points. It’s yet another shambles.

@MrAndrewCotter Magnificent Andrew. Olive and Mabel showing unbridled joy in life

Ok - payment for the golf podcast post. Nearly 13 and nearly 9, both still doing their thing.

@NCGTop100s @ladybankgolf Goosebumps imagine being those juniors 😍

The fascinating tale of why Jack and Seve played at @ladybankgolf 🤯 What was meant to be a day on the Old Course in St. Andrews, soon turned in to a round at Ladybank for Jack Nicklaus and Seve Ballesteros. Watch the latest 48 Hours In Fife now 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=A_AbSc…

@DanMurphyGolf Great article Dan and very perceptive. Had the pleasure of watching Ryder cup at Gleneagles in 2014 and the English Am at SCGC this year. You have whetted the appetite for Lahinch.

Some thoughts comparing and contrasting the spectator experience at the Ryder and Walker Cups. Spoiler: I would really, really like to be at Cypress Point this week (or any other for that matter)

@Mike_kim714 Fascinating thank you Mike for sharing

I think this is the case because of the trend that wants to limit club face rotation. Less clubface rotation in theory means more “stable” face, easier to hit straight with better clubface control. Also with the ball and head not spinning as much with the tech, much easier to keep spin in the correct window as before it was much more difficult to keep spin down while trying to hit a fade with a driver. Also if you want to hit up on the driver, the more up you go, the more left the path goes which makes it more natural to fade. But I think stats show most guys on tour are actually close to zero not up. Why do I draw it? I tried to change predominantly to a fade for a couple yrs and never could figure it out because I like my misses to be left not right. Left miss with a cut is a double cross which is not good. Yes yes the whole you can’t talk to a draw quote and that’s because the ball goes longer when you miss it left (for a righty) and potentially that’s a worse miss than the short right miss. But, I can control a left miss because I’m super comfortable making a left miss straighten out with some adjustments but really struggle when I’m missing it right and it’s way harder to straighten that out. This became a much longer post than originally intended haha. Thx for coming to my TED talk.

@SteveCarroll77 4BBB should not be used for handicap purposes. Particularly when a low handicap player pairs up with a higher handicap player… naturally the lower should to be on the card often (its his job). The one who makes the scoring difference tho is the higher hcap.

A little poll for a Wednesday afternoon: Since April 2024, betterball scores in competitions have been able to count for handicap. Has that made any difference to the way they're being run - and won - at your club? Any anecdotes would be very well received...

@christophe_art Doing something you love ❤️ Congratulations Chris

I’m still working on current commissions so my latest work can’t be posted at the moment. This painting was my very first sale in 2019 when I became self employed. It was the only artwork I sold in the first month. I’m still enjoying the journey 🙏🏻

@ALS_Fanzine Brilliant first half performance for whole team. Isador goal reminds me of Didier Drogba

A goal up at the break. Thoughts on that first half? 🤔

@SteveCarroll77 A very thoughtful article Steve. Its about striking the right balance. We dont play in tweed and ties anymore but neither should we play in Football shirts.

We write quite a lot about golf club dress codes. But what do you really think about them? We asked, and you told us... nationalclubgolfer.com/club/features/…

@stevenjones360 Well done Harrison. What a talent and so pleased to see this. Enjoy Dad.. if you can

Proudest and most nervous day of my life! He’s worked so hard for this and two Sunderland supporters centre mid together 🩵

@SeatonCarewGC Spectacular

@lacyi @SeatonCarewGC When you next back?

@SeatonCarewGC Wow great photo, looks so inviting. Might have to dust the sticks off for a game!!!

Looking out beyond our 18th green: An expanse of short grass, creating a myriad of shot options to approach this short par 4 finisher.

Sir Chris Hoy my god! Brilliant athlete even better person. Hope you get chance to watch his documentary on BBC @chrishoy
