What was it someone said about golf a good walk ruined.

Well some people like it I haven't have been tempted but I don't have the right car for it. And I can't afford a set of clubs.

Someone I know said to his wife on returning from the golf course that he just had a fascinating conversation with a completely random stranger. What she said was he a member of the golf club, yes, was he middle class, yes he replied, was he white, yes he replied and did he play golf yes, well he wasn't very random then was he he was exactly like you!

I don’t know how people will manage to continue playing golf what with two different organisations organising golf playing for a particular handful of golf players. It must be a stressful time for all golf players all around the world.

Looks like LIV Golf hasn't managed to attract the interest from major broadcasters that it hoped for. Now Amazon and Apple have both walked away.

Apple and Amazon turn down LIV Golf - Digital TV Europe

I'm very very bored and watching the Masters. Fucking hell. Im struggling to think of a worse group of 'fans' than the investment bankers strolling around in their Tommy Bahamas shorts and deck shoes shouting 'in the hole!!' or whatever like they're at one of their mates' stag dos at a strip club in Acapulco.
