Hi Tikay,

Petes son Matt got married at the beginning of October and these are a couple of the photos. The wedding was at Wroxall Abbey which was once the home of Sir Christopher Wren.

That's a great picture Rich, I don't know how Petra managed to get all three of them to look at the camera at the same time.

The girls still talk about Max and that holiday and asked to see that photo often.

After seeing the video of Max on his bike I'm going to get Pete to take the girls stabilisers off this weekend. Plasters at the ready.

I've never really given much thought to how Nike, Adidas & Co make so much money, but yesterday set the mind ticking.

Gill is a novice, but as she starts to learn the ropes, she goes & buys new gear. She is on her third pair of running plimsolls already, & the average cost was £100 per pair.

Running shorts, tops, bottoms etc probably, what, another £50?

Fancy GPS watch, £100.

Heart monitor, £25?

She has probably spent some £500 so far.

There were 700 runners there yesterday, if they all spent the same, that's £350,000. At just one event.  

Now do the Fermi thing.

No wonder this guy is smiling.

Seeing the picture of Mike Ashley has just reminded me of another business venture that I'm sure he will eventually do well out of.

Ha, very interesting - will that affect you?

How you keeping these days?

I read somewhere this morning that the USA PGA has the shortest break between years ov seasons of any pro sports - 10 days I think - starting this week again I think?

Doesn't have any affect on me as I work for the other large retailer, but it will be good for them in the short term as DG are no longer trading online due to technical difficulties,
Even though I work for opposition Its sad to see as lots of good people will/could lose their jobs.


As for me I'm good thank you, will hopefully start to play a lot more next season as standing down from my present role to concentrate on more teaching and giving something back to the game with some free lesson for the juniors in the New Year.


The golf season is more or less a rolling twelve months now whether that's good or bad I'm not sure. But I imagine with the amount of golf available to play in  I don't think we will see the longevity of the modern golf like we have with Watson,Player and co.

Hope you are well, and you get to bush the rust of your clubs I imagine that its been that long since you've used them the woods may have woodworm.

Replies delayed as I've been blogging, but Peter the Bandit gets passing (& affectionate) mention in "Are there bandits in poker?"

Old people only need read, youngsters wont have a clue what I'm prattling on about. Contains minimal spam & puff, obv.
