Doesnt get more serious than this- what are your thoughts? Should this be an international rule?:) Resident forum moderator Any issues contact content @ iseekgolf.com

Now that we’re warmed up we may as well get rid of Quade Cooper and Robbie Deans along with belly putters and nativity scenes and Christmas carols. I’m going for a little rest now, Merry Xmas everyone. Runner up (with Mark Gibson), 3 legged race, North Ainslie Primary School athletics carnival, 1966.

Or would that offend the cookie brigade too much. As a cricketer the Coverdrive was the hardest shot to master. As a golfer, I can achieve it with frustrating regularity.
