What is a club fitting actually like? I love golf. I love the numbers, the technology and the grind to get better. I had a brilliant few hours with @al_frater trying out the new @PXGUK irons at their Esher store. I hit hundreds of balls, learned a lot, had a proper laugh, tried @PengeMarco’s new irons and lost a glove on the train back. Seriously in love with the wedges ❤️ Rocking the @galvingreen & @FootJoyEurope #golf #golfswing

@carlmcblade Respect your opinion but I think you’re in a tiny minority.

@mrdanwalker Sorry Dan, it’s a great gesture from the government!and all involved. But I was just expecting something a little bigger and more dynamic. Let’s be honest the Crucible is a tired looking building, constructed when utilitarianism was king.

BREAKING NEWS! As chair of Sheffield Theatres we are delighted that the World Snooker Championships are staying in Sheffield - at The Crucible - until at least 2045! This is a big deal which is worth millions of pounds to the city but also enables us to revamp The Crucible, make it even more special, bring it right up to date and secure it for generations to come. The cost of the project is £45,000,000 and we have secured £35,000,000 worth of government funding and the other 10 is coming from the private sector and some of our partners. A lot of people have worked really hard to get this deal over the line and the city council have put the hours in. We know there are understandable questions about closing The Crucible for a projected 18 months and we will answer all of those. I should say that Sheffield Theatres will keep producing work in the Lyceum and the Montgomery while the Crucible is getting refurbished with capacity for an extra 500 seats. We feel that the benefits of this deal give us the chance to secure a sporting and theatrical legacy for Sheffield. This is a HUGE moment for the city but it is also significant for the arts in north of England and the whole of the UK. @crucibletheatre @SheffCouncil

I don’t know if you know but… it’s Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. I have been reading about @chrishoy this week and he has inspired me to post this. Cancer is not a nice word. It sends fear into most people and so many of us are touched by it either directly or indirectly. Last July I had a prostate screening blood test at the Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield. My dad has had prostate cancer before and now it’s back. His experience has made me far more aware of the risks and the worries so visiting the @LivingCareGroup centre felt like £15 and 15 minutes well spent. They had 200 appointments available - all subsidised by a local charity. I posted on my social media and spent much of the day reading through the thousands of comments. There were so many people who were struggling to get an appointment with their doctor and they just wanted that level of reassurance that comes from a simple medical test. There were hundreds of comments about the need for a national screening programme and many more were pointing to the fact that 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer at some point in their lives. One email stood out above everything else for me. I have read it quite a few times. Dear Dan, I would like to thank you so much for talking about your visit in Sheffield for an inexpensive PSA test. My husband lost his paternal grandfather to prostrate cancer and his cousin has terminal prostrate cancer. Although my husband used to have tests, he hasn't over the last 10 years. Your post prompted him to go along to Living Care and take the test. After a second PSA test, an ultrasound and an MRI scan, he has been diagnosed with prostrate cancer. It was quite a shock, but had you not posted about it that day, I don't know when he would have got tested and the cancer may have been found, not just at a later stage, but at a catastrophically later stage, like his cousin. Obviously, it's still a worry, but I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the nudge you gave him, giving him a better chance of survival. Yours, truly gratefully… That for me is what Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is all about. It’s about helping each other. It’s about people like this lovely lady and her husband. It’s about simple tests. It’s about changing lives and saving lives. @ProstateUK

@slaminlad The point you raised was an incorrect one Peter. It’s voluntary. Also… very few jobs in broadcasting are 9-5 so many people have to fill days accordingly. I am very privileged to have a radio and a TV job. I don’t take it for granted and I worked very hard to get here.

@mrdanwalker Thanks Mr Walker, that’s very kind of you. What do you think about the point I raised? about TV presenters having lots of different jobs and the rest of us struggle on one? we do have a huge inequality issuing in this country where the rich get richer and the poor get poor.

@slaminlad It is all voluntary Peter. Don’t get paid a penny and even though the role offers expenses I haven’t claimed any. Hope that helps. Enjoy the snooker.

@mrdanwalker Bloody hell Walker how many jobs have you got? How many do you need? When is enough money enough?

@SiHawkes All fully costed from DCMS

@mrdanwalker £35 million of Government Funding? And where are they finding that from FFS.

Thank you to Michael and the family for trusting us to tell his story

@MALCBARw @MrDDyer It’s the future 😂

@mrdanwalker I've just seen your interview with @MrDDyer. You sir are a wrongun. Crumble with custard AND ice cream???? WTH????

This is the last thing Danny Dyer thought he'd be dealing with when he and daughter Dani decided to revive a caravan park that's seen better days...

"Even talking about this, I would break down talking about it" In an exclusive 5 News interview, one victim reveals he's undergoing counselling and his epilepsy has worsened since being hit by the car driven by Paul Doyle. He also expressed sympathy for Doyle and claimed he and other victims feel they’ve been met with “total disinterest” from Liverpool Football Club since the incident in May last year.

What a game of rugby in France!!! #6nations #FRAENG

Our 5 News Heroes of the Week are Lauren and Andrew Greedy. The married couple are improving, not only the lives of dogs with spinal injuries, but also their owners.

@SteveBowercomm Hey big fella. I try and practice once a week and play once a fortnight. I didn’t even win yesterday by the way 😂😂

Knew that smooth swing would get there in the end mate! Incredible achievement! You can’t be working hard enough 😜

Does anyone else’s dog do this when they think you’ve been watching the TV for too long and not paying them enough attention? 😂❤️ Winnie wanted someone to play with her so she just stood in front of the telly, staring at us, waiting to be loved.

All that winter work has paid off 🎯 Shot 66 around @hallamshiregolf yesterday and official handicap is now the lowest it’s ever been at +2. Thanks for Chris Forsyth for the swing work, @dangrieve for short game wizardry, Pitch London for the chance to practice at brilliant facilities when I haven’t got loads of time, @PXGUK for the best clubs I’ve ever had (hit 13 out of 14 fairways yesterday) and @galvingreen & @FootJoyEurope for the best clobber there is. I’ll never win anything again with that handicap but it’s nice when it all comes together. #golf #golfswing

@TimGatt @5_News Might never get invited back 😂

@mrdanwalker @5_News Good on you speaking up last night about 5 News - and being missing from the year in review VT! (You're also a lot taller than I realised in real life! 😂)
