Earliest golfing memory?

Playing golf with my dad in Preston in the early 60s and smacking the odd five iron around the Peaworthan course.

It was while I was playing for Brighton in the late 70s and it occurred during a golf day for the football club.

Two dozen Callaway balls purchased last Friday and the only reason I still have all of them is because I haven't played a game of golf since.

Every time I play the game and they run into the hundreds over the course of a round.

Is the Titleist ProV1 worth the extra expense?

No, because you only get one shot; or at least I do.

Best golf club food. Where?

Portmarnock Golf Club.

Bacon, eggs, chips, bread and butter and a cup of tea on a bitingly cold day.

My trusty seven wood.

Florida, great courses, great weather.
