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mmm...I think his commentating is ok BUT his opinions for journalists are largely sh1te and far too about his set of outdated values and prejudices...I suspect someone else will do just as well when he's gone and I wouldn't be that bothered if that's tomorrow.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

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
