Exactly reet, as if there isnt enough choice. BBC only has eight days of golf a year and those of us who love the game really relish Sunday at Augusta. I'm sorry Mick that there is no celebrity reality show on this evening but I'm sure you can find Come Dine with me somewhere.

Ironically my series reminder for Come dine with me has just appeared on screen - but tonight I have to decline. The Masters is my favourite sporting viewing of the year Tone.

It's been an almost perfect day. 25 mile time trial this morning in Kent at 7. Back for lunch in the park with the family in the sunshine. United at 1:30 (would have been nice to get a win). The Paris-Roubaix all afternoon with suitable beer on the side. FA cup semi-final magic then The Masters until bed time! I'm in heaven.

Peter Allis on Mickleson's daughter being congratulated....


He's just my Dad

He may be a superstar to you

But to me, he's just grumpy old dad....


I like Peter Allis and Martin Johnson's column criticising him in today's Sunday Times was way off the mark. Allis is the best british golf commentator there has ever been.

mmm...I think his commentating is ok BUT his opinions for journalists are largely sh1te and far too about his set of outdated values and prejudices...I suspect someone else will do just as well when he's gone and I wouldn't be that bothered if that's tomorrow.

The little Italian amateur sitting in the Butler Cabin waiting to receive his medal alongside Mickleson was wearing his sweatshirt and shiny white trainers.


Most gof clubs in England have a strict "no trainers" rule so that was quite funny.

I've said I've not a problem with his commentary (although it's not actually that informative for us 'non-golfers' who couldn't give a shite about the 19th at Lower Worslingham etc etc etc)but his comment about Woods last week were disgraceful, he didn't say that the Matsers committee should have the balls to bung out Norman who shagged anything that moved or Faldo who hardly kept his clubs in his own golfbag did he? He comes over and is, I suspect, a nasty old home counties snob....

I saw your coment on this already Quids but you are barking up the wrong tree on the racism thing, I believe.


With Woods it is not the fact that he slept around - perhaps Faldo and Norman did too - its the fact that he did it with prostitutes and porn stars. Pre arranged contracts with professionals in the sex industry.


In short, most believe, he let the image of the sport down.


Most people make mistakes in life but Woods was into deviant behaviour.

Well, I think Allis is an embittered old snob well past his sell by date...


He must have said "Does Mickleson get his haircut by the same barber as Jonathon Ross?" about 5 times. All good shots are lucky, etc etc - Ken is infinitely more informative and interesting...put Allis down I say.

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
