Tommy Fleetwood also clinched a Ryder Cup spot this week. Aye that was a mistype, should have said "now" guaranteed in the Ryder Cup team.
dandydunn Posted September 28, 2025 Author Posted September 28, 2025 This has been a brutal watch tonight 😆
DOUBLE A Posted October 5, 2025 Posted October 5, 2025 Bob wins the Dunhill Links, shortened to 54 holes after the “unsettled” weather, his 66 on Friday in brutal conditions was superb
Squirrelhumper Posted October 6, 2025 Posted October 6, 2025 Was at Kingsbarns on Friday and followed Bob. How he shot 66 is beyond me. Some of the best golf i've ever seen.
dandydunn Posted October 31, 2025 Author Posted October 31, 2025 Winter golf starts tomorrow, unfortunately can’t manage, hoping to get plenty practice in over the next few months and get the handicap lower. Can’t complain though, started at 11.9, down to 8.8 after a strong last few weeks of the season.
slasher Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Booked my first round of golf in about 10 months for Friday….wish me luck! Watching the Masters coverage just now. Anyone any idea when the back 9 became the second 9!?

Toepoke Posted April 11 Posted April 11 In the absence of Bob MacIntyre, Cameron Young sounds like he could be an honorary Scot.

Thinking about (possibly for the first time ever) "first 9" and "second 9" probably makes more sense. My question now is, why did folk use "front 9" and "back 9" in the first place? Now that you've made me think about it, that doesn't make sense at all. Stop putting daft questions into my head. I'll be thinking about that all day now. 😂

Cursed by my patriotic punt, 28/1 seemed decent given his form coming into the Masters. Hopefully Mcilroy blows it (no idea why but i find him very unlikeable)
Ally Bongo Posted April 12 Posted April 12 It was my cousin's birthday so last Wednesday i went to the bookies and put a bet on the National for him along with a tenner on McIlroy at 12/1 for the masters He picked the card up yesterday lunchtime with McIlroy 6 shots in front He has literally jinxed the arse out of it

Because my Dad's been bedridden for the last 4 weeks my heid is away with the fairies So it was worth it missing his actual birthday date as i wouldnt have put a bet on the masters the week before last I never even put the same bet on for myself Total fanny
Ally Bongo Posted April 12 Posted April 12 I also like to think i reversed the jinx by posting about it on here !
