I'm playing golf at St Andrews this weekend. Which for me is fulfilling a major ambition.


Golfers are fortunate in that they can play on the same hallowed turf where the big events are played. So in an ideal world, at what sporting mecca would you like to play your favourite sport?.....


(As an aside - Anyone who knows St Andrews well, any tips on good bars / restaurants and playing the course itself, gratefully received. :))

I hope to one day play the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in Vegas....no qualifying needed, no handicap, no talent required just $25k to buy in and you could be sitting at a table with Phil Ivey or Doyle Brunson....(or Vikki Coren if you're a perv....although you can do that at the Vic in Edgware Road far cheaper)

But its new course tomorrow and the famous old course on Monday so hope it might have warmed up by then. wrote Mick Mac.



This is the south arctic you're talking about Mick, scratch any ideas about warmth


and keep a couple of flourescent orange balls nearby just in case of snow!


Ps. a pair of mink-lined plus-fours might be a good investment,


as you're up there.

After uploading my golf pics to facebook last night I awoke to hear on the radio that Kate Middleton has rushed to St Andrews to see the great man in action.


Yes regalia, it was absolutely freezing. 5 degress but feels like -1 sort of weather. And strong winds on sunday.


I wore a tshirt, a golf shirt, a normal jumper, a wind proof lined jumper and a waterproof top. 5 layers. Who ate all the pies.


Went onto the road on the Road Hole and into the "Valley of Sin" on the 18th, all the tourist traps.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
