Oh dear, that's so sad.

Back in the day, Hazel & Tim were part of the scene, & it was always "Tim & Hazel" or so it seemed. Great bants too, that Hazel was the better player than Tim & she was wonderfully pleasant table company.

Her Hendon shows 10 cashes - 2 at the Paddy Power Irish Open, including £2,500 for 27th in the Main in 2007, a UKIPT Galway sidey, Walsall, Caribbean Poker Party in St Kitts, & 4 or 5 cashes at DTD.

Marky was very close with them iirc, so he'll be super sad.

God bless you Hazel.

Koh Kood. A bit warmer than the UK atm. 🤣

Turned out nice again!

I doubt Nostradamus could have predicted the last couple of rounds.

Sad news indeed.

RIP Hazel.

So far I have

Lanark (pairs) 06/05

Baberton 30/06

Longniddry 08/07

Bothwell Castle 04/08

East Kilbride 18/08

Will be adding in a few more not open yet eg Hamilton pairs and West Kilbride in June, Royal Burgess in Sept. Hopefully I can get my hcp down a bit as one or two I'd like to play seem to be quite strict, though others just use a maximum in the competition but you can still enter if above that.

HNY to all hackers. Last year was a disaster hcp index moving from 21 to nearly 28 

So being fairly sure it can't get any worse, I've already entered 5 senior opens. Unfortunately more and more clubs are joining in on the imo sharp practice of opening entries in autumn '25 for opens in summer '26. So they have chunks of money in their bank account getting interest, but people pulling out close to the event. 

Where you playing? Been scanning the lists trying to plan out the year. Played quite a few new places last year and loved it.

If you ever have a space or you fancy a game I'm not that far and hate working. Would be nice to put a person to the name
