Just got back from a party, too legless to know or care what I've got as yet....

David, will see you in casulty later with a vacuum pipe stuck in your a@#@!!!!

and welcome to the SG5 club you will love it.

I have had a putting machine that returns the ball from the kids, they mut have heard the rumours about my short game too.

Santa brought me a new flat stick as I left my oddysey at Hawkstone the other week - and nobody handed it in, loved that putter to

Anyways  I opted for this bad boy

Got me a Skycaddie SG2.5 with Europe subscription. Downloading courses at the moment & will be trying it out on Saturday

He didn't bring me any new knees though .

John.

I got a benross 3 wood

4 golf lessons

wilson golf balls

"yellow" top of the range 2 piece golf balls from donnay

gym gear

after shave and smellies

First year I didn't get any golf 'tat' or anything golf related.

Did get the Wii Fit board though, hopefully the balance exercises will help may golf posture and my training plan for 2009 to get my handicap down !  Surprisingly at 34 my Wii Fit age was a mere 44 !!! scandalous.

Merry Christmas to all

Got the Nike Sasquatch tour bag with the 14 way divider.  As my daughter had some hand in it's purchase it's the Nike traditional yellow and black - because, apparently, it looks cool and I need brightening up.  She also bought me some of those flashing tracker balls and have been having a slightly drunken pitching session in the garden with the dog with them - rather surreal watching them fly into the distance and the dog coming back with them in her mouth -  they're still flashing through her cheeks!

a ping g5 3 wood

and 48 srixon ad333

how many do they think i lose???

All of them i should imagine Neil...............Eventually.Lol.

yes dave your right.............hopefully they will last a good while......hopefully...lol

New Powakaddy bag 

Callaway FT-i Driver - can't wait to get out on the range!

And a day out with a professional photographer - not golf related I know, but I'm quite looking forward to it!

Hey Paul, the Tiger Woods game is very good on the Wii.

Just watch out for the dog!  You're own one I mead (If you've got a dog!)

I took my backswing and started on the downswing, hit my dog (Chocolate coloured labrador) on the head as he walked by me.

Now when I get the Wii out he goes out of the room.

Russ

What did she say paul" That was a bit over the Top!"

When I first started playing I, like many beginners on here, used to take a club into the garden & practise. On this occasion it was a sunny day & the kids were out playing & my dogs were lounging around.

I had my 3 wood in hand & checked all was clear & was making some swings, I then put a plastic ball on the ground & prepared to hit it. On my downswing my Jack Russell ran from behind me in between my legs to grab the ball.........BANG!!!!!

He lay there with his tongue hanging out his mouth, the kids screamed "YOU'VE KILLED JACK!!?" I ran & got a blanket & covered him in it & then rang the missus to try & explain what had happened whilst trying to find the number of a good vet!

!0mins later he moved shook himself grabbed the plastic ball & ran off!!

I've never practised in the garden ever since that day.

John.

The number of times we've played golf Paul and I didn't know you had a Lab.  We'll have to get it together with my chocolate one.  Incidently, she avoids my clubs when I'm swinging in the garden but does take the opportunity to rob off with a ball if I'm practicing my putting......

I can't stand people who bragg about forthcoming golf holidays!!

You are not going then, John.

Back to the topic, tried out the new bag today and it's brilliant!  Light, easy to pick-up and carry and loads of room for all my stuff. Shame it's the bright yellow version, but at least I could see it in the dark when we teed off this morning!

For me it was an excellent book - Golf is not a game of perfect by Dr Bob Rotella.  It was an inspired choice by the missus, and just what the doctor ordered.  Have read it already and am starting to re-read it again.  It has inspired me to get back out on the course and this afternoon I swung a club for the first time in 5 months, on the range, and I enjoyed it, even if it was only partially successful.

Andy,

I have that book & another on my ipod. It's a superb listen (& read) & would recommend it to anyone.

John.
