Loving all the tormented golfers. Have you had any lessons?

I play with a few guys who similarly took up the game late and they are obsessed and really good company. To listen to them you would think they were scratch but most have got swings like an octopus putting up a deckchair yet don't get a lesson as they will probably have to change everything.

Does anyone know what Wynne Evans said?

Probably stop hitting the driver too much at the driving range...pretty controversial stuff

Loving you all getting into golf, got back playing a bit during covid and certainly have the bug. Struggle to play as much as I'd like but love getting out there. If any blondes are ever up my neck of the woods i would be delighted to get fleeced around my club or any other, we have a few to choose from

Wow, lovely to see you still pop in to blonde from time to time James.

That's at least three of us freshly bitten by the golf bug then - you, Tom & me, as well as all the established long-term golfers, plus those I've been lucky to share a few rounds with.

I LOVE going to different courses with the blondes from back in the day, I really do.

Alloa Golf Club, which I believe is in Sauchey? google tells me...

P
But hey-ho, I'll almost certainly venture up, then I get to play a new Course (or two) & share a few hours on a Golf Course with you. Not sure I can do it this side of Christmas, but early next Spring would almost certainly work, & the weather will be better then. Not be much fun driving 300 miles in November only to find it's rained off...

You seen Messrs Russell & Bopkin much, did you do Vegas with them again this year?

Yeah still pop in to see how people are doing, haven't seen Matt or Stu for a while 2016 I think was my last trip with them. Doubt I will be back to Vegas in a hurry now. I took my daughter there for her 21st a couple of years ago as I had always promised her I would. Hardly play any poker now and was never much of a gambler so don't really have the urge to go much more. Holidays now will probably be more golf related had a lovely couple of weeks in Portugal earlier this year playing golf most days as the family sunned themself. Hopefully going to head to Tenerife in November and do the same for a week if we can find something 

Be lovely to see you and any other Blondes but definitely best to wait till the weather improves, courses not going to be great fun unless we headed to the coast and you are really leaving yourself open to the conditions. Bring big Matt with you he keeps threatening to come up and I think he would have if he hadn't sadly lost Jett.

Yeah Alloa golf club is in Sauchie lots of small towns all growing into one. Sauchie's claim to fame is it was the home to Alan Hansen who used to host a regular pro-am at Schawpark (what the locals call Alloa golf club). You will have plenty choice Alloa has 2 clubs for a town of about 15k people and there are least another 5 clubs within 10/15 minutes drive. Further afield just over the Ochil hills lies Gleneagles and we are about an hour away from St Andrews on one side of the bridge or the East Lothian clubs on the other. So yeah plenty to choose from.

Not worked at Sky for a long time now Ralph. Been working for a distillery company for about last 6 years. (Ian Macleod). I now get hit up for cheap booze instead of Sky deals 

That's about 15 minutes from me Kev. Hope you enjoyed the tour of Glengoyne I work for the company that owns it.

Promised my daughter would take her when she was 21 so we and Mrs Eck will be there from the 30th May till 6th June.

If anybody sees me you don't know me... 

So close!

Probably a good thing, doubt you would keep up with the Mrs never mind the wee one. You lads must be getting old now...

Yep was a bummer to see your dates, I had just booked our flights a few days before. Would have been nice to cross paths.

Said to the family, Barry Cryer died today, they said "Who?". "You've laughed at his jokes" I said then Wiki'd who he wrote for and it was more amazing than I thought. RIP

No been to a gym for years, still buff as fuck.

Lily the Pink.

Gotta jump in here, bloody rubbish song and blatantly racist against us Eccles! I do not have terrible freckles and regardless of every fucking 'joker' do any of my family.......never met Jennifer though...

Season Greeting to you all,

   It's been great reading the latest raft of posts from the "old fella", and I don't know why, but I looked at his Wiki page, and I have to say what great read of fiction it is; so do
we know who's responsible for this?:

Great work whoever is responsible, I assume it was just copied from his linkedin bio.....

Blimey - good to see you here James. Life OK? Hear anything from Mole?

Hi Tony, still pop in now and again to keep up but as you know was never a big poster.

Life is going good, had a crappy few weeks when my daughter had the virus which wasn't much of an issue for her health but Debbie is highly vulnerable due to a lack of immune system so it was a worrying few weeks. Luckily, we have plenty room for us all to isolate and keep safe so we got through it ok I just cooked for a fortnight and left plates outside doors 

Mole is back in Scotland staying with his folks. Unfortunately his sight had deteriorated and he was pretty much blind for quite a while. He came back and they have operated a couple of times with not a lot of success but he has got more ops planned and has regained a little bit of vision. They are working on the eye that previously had no vision and he is going to need a cornea transplant but as he has no iris or lens to hold it in place so they need to make a fake plate for that and they also will hopefully try to put a lens I the other eye too.

Caught up with him a bit over the holidays as he can see enough to reply to messages and he is hopeful that if the ops go ok he can get himself back home to Thailand.

Hope everyone is keeping well.
