Brilliant to see this on the first tee at West Hill yesterday. Simple, inexpensive idea. Serves as a reminder that it is the responsibility of EVERY golfer to repair pitchmarks. The result? Saw very few pitchmarks when I teed off at 4pm, despite a full tee sheet from 8am 👏👏👏

Lot of chat about 'speed training' from ordinary golfers. Fancy gizmos, 12 week speed plans, numbers on launch monitors. I've embarked on my own 'speed training'. Stop dicking around with practice swings & looking for golf balls you won't find. Walk faster, get in the bar sooner

As I get older, golf is more about the people I play with & the courses I play, NOT how I play. Maybe I've settled for being average. Maybe I've found out what golf is really about. To everyone I've teed it up with in 2021. Thanks for your company, it's been a blast! #lovegolf

When I started my fitness journey in 2017 I didn’t have a weight goal. At 18st I was a ‘contended fatty’ but I knew I wanted to ‘feel better’. Stood on the scales this morning, 5st lighter, I certainly do ‘feel better’ but the health benefits are as much mental as physical..1/2

The BBC plainly despises golf. We should ask why. Simple. Golf is still seen as an elitist white man's game. We're making progress to be more inclusive but there's much still to do. Keep making progress, golf grows & eventually it'll be less hated by the likes of the BBC #SPOTY

I've never subscribed to the "men should watch women's pro golf as is more relatable" line. Think that's based on hitting distances which IMO is one dimensional. However where I do think men can learn from women's golf is the tempo many female golfers have. Step forward @miaellax

Well done Tiverton GC. Excellent idea. Clubs need us golfers to be paying our subs money (if circumstances allow) but also consider ideas for how to repay that loyalty. I’d hope other clubs consider similar schemes.

Always a treat to have a knock around the Old Course. The links were in tip-top condition & we stayed dry. A duff into the burn at the 1st & 3 to get out of one of the Coffins on 13th aside it wasn't a bad knock. 4 at 17 always puts a spring in your step 😀⛳️

Back from a fab 3 days @Princesgolfclub for my annual golf tour. 21st year completed. One of, if not the best tour & we've been to A LOT of UK Top100 venues. Superb courses (only improving), The Lodge is a great place to stay & a fun, welcoming vibe pervades. Totally recommend!

Yesterday I golfed my ball with some rogues, had 36pts in the comp, followed Everton's glorious win (& Liverpool's tonking) on my phone, enjoyed Guinness & pork scratchings then had a takeaway to celebrate my daughter getting a 1yr internship for her dream job as a vicar. Nice 👌

2/2 Fitness gives me a massive buzz, brings mental clarity & allows me to make better decisions under pressure. Thanks to everyone who offered encouragement along the way. Your words were a huge motivation. Happy to share my fails/wins that could help anyone on a similar journey

I've watched @HankleyC deservedly rise in the rankings over the years but thought it'd got as good as it could. How wrong I was! Managed a quick 9 holes today with great friend Martyn Norris of @Jenahura who is lucky to be a member. IMO latest changes are off the charts good!

Absolutely world class day @AberdoveyGC Heard so many great reports & been wanting to play it for years. It did NOT disappoint! A wonderful out & back links full of interesting holes set against a glorious backdrop Lovely clubhouse & one of the best pro shops I've ever seen!

1/4 Yesterday was a big day. We went to CAMHS for my daughter's discharge appointment. We first went in Feb 2019 when she was in crisis & needing urgent help. Yesterday the tears were of pride but sadness too thinking of the years my daughter lost to mental health challenges

On Jan 1 I didn’t have any more of a tangible goal than to drink less. Today is the 200th day of 2020 on which I haven’t had a drink. A marker of success for sure. Still enjoy a drink but I now feel like alcohol has a much more appropriate place in my life. #AlcoholAwarenessWeek
