Waterproof shorts for golf? It might sound bonkers, but @andywaple discovered just how effective they can be! golfshake.com/news/view/2249…

@wardie57 @golfshake Thanks Ian, reported to tech guys

@golfshake @andywaple Hyperlink in comments not working Andy!

These golf courses in Portugal were struggling for a time, but now they have become must plays, as @andywaple discovered! golfshake.com/course/news/22…

Playing golf in Scottsdale is pretty special - as @andywaple discovered! golfshake.com/course/news/22…

@JohnDBell1985 @robstaton my guess is that he has duel nationality, not uncommon between the two nations. Folk are getting worked up about the wealth of these 3. Could they have been hired by the investment group to win the bid and then go on to run the club for a fee? Infinity Capital being owners?

@robstaton I thought Alsharif Faisal Bin Jamil was Bahrainin who also worked as CEO for Infinty Sports Venture. Do we know their net worth?

More details... #SWFC Three members of the consortium selected as the preferred bidder to buy Sheffield Wednesday have been revealed. The consortium describe themselves as a privately funded group of investors led by James Bord and Felix Roemer. Bord founded Short Circuit Science, a sports analytics business which provides advanced modelling and decision support for multiple professional football clubs. He completed a takeover of Scottish Championship side Dunfermline last year and is said to have been involved in football ownership across several European clubs. Roemer is described as a German-born entrepreneur best known for his achievements in the online consumer sector – including finance technology, gambling and software. He is a shareholder in Short Circuit Science alongside Bord. One other individual, Alsharif Faisal Bin Jamil, is described as the consortium’s Chief Executive. He is described as a member of the Jordanian Royal Family. His LinkedIn account shows he is a board member at Dunfermline and at Cordoba. He is also the Group CEO of Short Circuit Science. In a media release, the group say they will focus “on long-term, responsible investment supported solely by its own capital, with an emphasis on stable governance, operational discipline and data-informed decision making.” “The consortium supports a long-term sustainable ownership of this historic club and is committed to preserving and enhancing its legacy. It aims to strengthen Sheffield Wednesday to enable the club to regain its position at the pinnacle of the game.”

@robstaton Many thanks

@andywaple Yes he is named

@pintosjavi @darrenram @golfshake Nice tractor!

@darrenram @andywaple @golfshake Yes they are!!

Super read for @golfshake @andywaple golfshake.com/course/news/22…

@kevinmarkham @dunlaoghaireGC Great images. I agree with you there Kevin it's a great 27 hole course to have on your itinerary if staying close to Dublin on a golf trip. What a clubhouse, and I love the story behind it

A few more shots of the Middle nine at @dunlaoghaireGC (Holes 2, 4 and 9) Probably not well enough known, despite hosting the Curtis Cup.

Lovely article from @andywaple - well worth a visit! golfshake.com/course/news/22…

@kevinmarkham @druidsglen @DGgolfguide Played lots of courses in Ireland and @DruidsGlenGolf remains my favourite. Some say it’s not the best but it is simply gorgeous

14 large frames of Druids Glen going up on the clubhouse walls today.

Cornwall is home to some of the best golf courses in the UK, including the exceptional @stenodocgolf and @TrevoseGC. Golfshake's @andywaple recently played both and reviewed them for us! golfshake.com/course/news/22…

@footballheaven @BBCSheffield Pretty sure every football journalist in the land will be hounding him for a statement. He needs to provide one pronto. The fact that he hasn’t done so already leads to suspicion that something is not as it might seem.

Following weeks of speculation, BBC Radio Sheffield understands Danny Rohl is returning to Sheffield Wednesday. Read more: bbc.in/4nBF7Kq #SWFC | @BBCSheffield

Played Hallamshire last week. Happy to collect another Harry Colt design and @hallamshiregolf has some holes of real character. Particularly loved the par-3 17th. Was fun to play and has some wonderful views.

Golfing at @ShangriLaHMB in #srilanka for ⁦⁦@golfshake⁩ - there’s plenty of interest here in a glorious setting with monkeys, peacocks and a host of other exotic birdlife for company. The palm lined par 3 4th is typical of the watery layout
