Played at Brampton Park here in Cambridgeshire last night and finally broke 100! Well, would have easily smashed the magic 100 mark if it wasnt for the 7 lost balls on the round! Came in at 98 (with lost balls)! Yay for me :) Pretty much everything was 1 or 2 over with one blowout of 7 on the par 3 4th hole (SI 1) and also got 4 pars! Ah yes...you know you are still a beginner when you get excited over scoring pars :) Regards Mailman

Good on Augusta not caving in to the raving cows on the left! :D The fact they admitted women on the clubs terms says more about the clubs willingness to spit in the face of political correctness...which is a breath of fresh air in todays climate! Mailman

I find I play my best when Im only paying £10 for a round of twilight golf on my local course, which charges non-members nearly £50 a round! :) Regards Mailman

Hi all, I bought my very first set of clubs (Wilson CG1200's) in March and have been trying to get out at least once a month since then. Ive also had a lesson which has helped with my swing...although I still retain the super power of being able to slice any golf ball regardless of whether its designed not to be sliced! But anyway, today I went around my local golf course (Brampton Park...a true hidden gem in Cambridgeshire, UK!) for a full 18 holes and lost 5 balls on the front nine BUT on the back nine, only lost 3 balls. For me that is progress! :) I think Im in the low hundreds/pushing the high 90's at the moment so compared to where I was back in March I think my journey towards hitting the ball down the centre of the fairway more often than not is well and truly underway. BTW, prior to March I had only played one round of golf in the last 10 years and that was a round on the PGA course at the Belfry last September with some business partners. Carted a 129 that day too :) Anways...this is just a long winded way of saying hello to you all. Regards Mailman
