I've been playing golf for a bit now, and, I've got a few, but would like to share this one with you, as, me and a lad I play a round with always have a chuckle over it...

On my last birthday, I ended up working all day Saturday, due to pricing a plastering job that should of taken me half a day, with the remainder of the day being taken up by a round, then a few jars in the club house. Friday afternoon, the customer phones me up and asks if I could do more work for them, which we already discussed when I priced it, but, they didnt want it doing at the time.

A big fat FFS, because, at the time, I was rammed with work, I had my first ever golfing competition on the Sunday, and it was the run in to England's Premier League (And I was very much interested being a Sunderland AFC supporter [we nearly got relegated] so, was going to watch a game in the club house too... I agreed, needed the money (as always) and put my birthday on hold to get the job done. Saturday comes, I start at 7.30am, and didnt get finished till 6.30pm, mad rush, me and the strife went for a meal at the indians and in the whole day, two pints passed my lips.

So, awaking on Sunday, I was proper primed for a good sup, me and my mate were in a better ball competition, weather was a bit mankey, met the other pair on the tee, explained it was our first compo, told them to keep us right (And they did), everyone wrapped up and off we went. Eventually, 18th done, we all shook hands and me and my mate made our way into the clubhouse, changed, then hit the bar in the snooker room...

Well, suffice to say, the beer went down well, social cards were getting a proper hammering, a bloke walks in, I said to my mate "Is that Neil?" [One of the doubles we played with], and he went "Dont know, looks like him", so I got up to go to the bar, went over and thanked him for all his help, offered him a drink, give him a pally tap on the shoulder and took mine and my mates drink back, this Neil fella has a bit of a walk around chatting to some members in the bit we were at and goes back out to the main bar.

Much, much later on, we're still going for it, attempting to play snooker, everyone in the lounge was pretty much trolleyed, this Neil fella came back in, so I went over, put my arm around him  "See, this is why I love this club, people like yourself, bloody great blokes, everyone is having a good night, and, nor mate, honest, you and your mate, just made it a great round, you really helped us loads"...

He looks at me and goes "Can I ask you a question?", I said "Aye", with my arm still around him, he went, and this is no lie... he went "Who the hell are you?" :D

Turned out, it wasnt the bloke who we played with! :D

My mate was literally dying of laughter... Well, I felt like an absolute idiot, he saw the funny side, I literally had him bamboozled because he actually thought that I knew him from somewhere else, and he spent the whole time in the other end racking his brains out trying to remember if he'd met me before.

But, I'll give him his due... The sly dog got a drink out of me! :D

I hope you give him a gimme for that! ;) lol

    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

    • Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
