Playing golf is something I won't do till I'm a good bit older but it is the best activity for people as they get older. Very social, not too strenuous, lots of dinners/drinking sessions. I love golf on BBC, Alex Hay is such a polite and good humoured man. There's no sport left on TV with as little glitz as Golf right down to the commentators.
Ah golf.....I even love the rippling applause and the noise when they hit the ball

am sad i am missing the open (already missed wimbledon and the eng sri lanka test series) but the good thing abt missing the open is not hearing Peter allis' 'commentary'. It's just torture really.

They then started creating artificial coastal scrubland all over the world.
apparently American golf courses are more "artificial" than Irish & Scottish ones, and there is some pressure on courses over here to become less natural so as to appeal to yankee dollar.
but whatever, it's all golf = all boring middle class men off playing their boring game and cosying up to the boss over a few gin and tonics and then drink driving home.
The fact that there is no player interaction only increases the enjoyment of the game for me. Sublime and no jock0's around to spoil your day.

Miniture Golf- A good time for druken teenagers on a Saturday Night. Watch where your standing at the ramp over water hole, I was hit with a flying ball and got a bruised collar bone. It was funny till the booze wore off...

Classic Allis - Hay exchange from yesterday;
Allis (lamenting Seve's withdrawal due to being rubbish now): 'I'm afraid there aren't too many things you get better at as you get older'.
Hay: 'Sweeping?'.
― Ally C, Friday, 19 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link
today they showed a bunch of CLIPS together [highlights, perhaps] with some krazy 'dance' music over the top.
one commentator: is that the sort of music you like to dance to?
another commentator: no, actually. I'm more of a gavotte-merchant.
I have an inkling that the another one was allis. if so: AllyC is OTM.

Allis: A mention to Mrs [x] who's just about recovered now from the shock of the burglary. I hope they catch the culprits soon. Hay: Terrible. [Proceeds to say something about appropriate capital punishment to apply when they are caught] Allis: Ooh no, surely a bit of flogging first. So the punishment lasts longer. Hay: Oh yes, of course.

i hit golf balls this week. i have more natural ability at it than most other things that involve hitting balls. fun. and v. satisfying when you actually get it up in the air and far away. though i usually don't get quite as much distance as others. dunno if that's a strength thing or a technique thing (or the stella i had?). not too much exercise if you're just driving, though.
(we never heard of Africa in America, btw. TS: chatty, bubbleheaded non-news v. snide content.)

I've started playing again recently too and my handicaps gone down from a 14 to about an 11/10 - played ardeer and carded an 84 (an unecessary 7 [!!!], and three unecessary 6s) but shoulda been a 79. that is playing to handicap I guess (it was 14) but I reckon markers would have given me the 7 and 6s as 5s (taking into account the rest of my card.)
I love golf.

In one of the more bizarre major press conference departures of recent times, the 36-year-old explained his penchant for killing animals. He missed the cut at the Masters and immediately slaughtered a pig and a turkey. “I’ve been a hunter my entire life,” he boasted. “I enjoy the strategy of it. We eat a lot of wild meat at my house so I enjoy butchering and I do a lot of hunting.” Champions traditionally drink from the Claret Jug. One is left to ponder what on earth Harman may do with the famous trophy

Understand from several sources that the US team room is fractured, a split led predominantly by Patrick Cantlay.Cantlay believes players should be paid to participate in the Ryder Cup, and is demonstrating his frustration at not being paid by refusing to wear a team cap.— Jamie Weir (@jamiecweir) September 30, 2023

He wore a cap at last year's Presidents Cup, for which players ARE paid.Cantlay also refused to attend the gala dinner earlier in the week and, along with close friend Xander Schauffele, is sitting is a separate area of the team dressing room.— Jamie Weir (@jamiecweir) September 30, 2023

I was with a grade 2 class in Listowel, Ontario, today, and one of the boys was Corey Conners' nephew (brother of his mom). "He's rich, you know"--he laughed. (Also said his uncle had won a million dollars when he won the Masters; I said I didn't think so but let it go--I don't doubt that he won a million somewhere.)
