All that just to take 6 hrs to play 18 holes it must be so knackering walking a few miles to hit a ball. 6 hrs to walk a few miles. Our council litter pickers walk for 8hrs a day and probably cover more mileage

You sound quite bitter!

To all you sunday afternoon hackers, see if you can do this.....




A double hole in one!

 

[Cityfan]

Come on Tommy

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

Keep it going Tommy lad. Fuck me Cantlay is slow.

 

[bluemonkey71]

Come on Tommy

Not laughing now Keegan

Cantlay should be thrown in the fucking lake on 15 for slow play

Well done Tommy! So pleased for him, top bloke! Pep will be pleased!

Never been happier to see someone win.

Such a brilliant bloke and to do that after the history and especially some of the brutal losses he’d had recently says even more about him.

Says it all that the American fans were cheering for him as much as they were too, he’s universally liked and rightly so.

Long time coming, really made up for Tommy. Hopefully, the first of many now on the PGA, well done lad.

I bet his mate is chuffed to bits.

Great little golf course in the middle of the Aussie bush. Played here loads of times. Talk about challenging.

We all loved Warrington. It was in great condition, greens & Tee boxes very good . One of the members said greens were slower than usual, they had let the grass grow a little more than usual because of such dry weather, scared to lose them , they were very true and fast enough for me . Got Lymm Senior open on Tuesday, another new course, then The Hallamshire on bank holiday with mates

Hallamshire is great

Well done Tommy btw.

Certainly wouldn’t be looking for my ball in the rough.

It’s true Americans like and respect him and wanted him to win, but in part because it makes the odious Colin Montgomerie’s legendary failures over here even funnier.

Hallamshire is great

Well done Tommy btw.

Hallamshire was superb, we all really enjoyed it . The greens were fantastic best I’ve played on

A 20 handicapper won the 9 holes stableford yesterday with 26 points. A single figure has zero chance these days with so many people gaming the system.

We have a new winner! In the Sunday 9 hole stableford 29 points was the winning score. 36 handicap so he was getting 2 shots a hole.

 

[journolud]

Our seniors Stableford this week a 26 handicap won with 48 points.

How was everyone’s year golfing?
Ive not played for 3 wks and still another 3wks to go ( I’ve had a double hernia op) but the weather is crap so not missing it . 2026 I’ve got golf in Marrakesh to look forward too in Jan and booked in to play Delamere & Prestbury Senior opens . Roll on spring

Some quality highs and a few lows. Had my second hole in one, finished third in our member/member and won our flight in our member/guest (two 60 year-olds cleaning out the young flat-bellies -- that was a lot of fun, though we finished last in the horserace). However, played in another M/G and was an awful partner to my host, and in the fall my index went up 1.5 pops to my highest in 40 years as I finished the season on dreadful run of form, struggling with distance and accuracy with my irons. Was actually fogged out of my last round when we couldn't see more than 50 yards in front of us for several hours, so we played dice and watched (American) football.
