Yes I know, noone will want this thread apart from me maybe, but I'm going to do it anyway, so here goes for talking to myself:


Watching Setanta tonight (that great value credit crunch sports channel @ ?10 p/m) and the US golf is on. Tiger is back and guess what he is like 1 shot behind the leaders in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. I thought he might never be the same again after his operation, but so much for that thought.


He's playing with Paddy Harrington today and Padraig is 4 behind in the first round.


Easter weekend and Harrington is going for what Paddy Power are calling stage 3 of the Paddy Slam. Only 3 golfers have ever won 3 majors in succession, Woods, Nicklaus and Hogan. Wouldn't Harrington love to add his name to that list.


Any (golf) comments gratefully received......

Is it possible for non-members to play at Dulwich Golf Course?

Have played there once when a work colleague and myself went with our boss who was a member. He told us to become a member he had to be nominated by a member(s?) and once that was ok'd, he then had to pass an interview with the club captain!..

I'm glad someone started this thread because it may come as quite a shock to some but not only do I enjoy golf but I'm actually quite good at it. I used to caddie for my dad when I was in school and took a likeing to the sport. I usually play about twice a month at the Beckenham golf course.


Red Devil. "Is it possible to play without being a member". DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. I and a friend entered the course without paying and I nearly lost my thumb to their Pitbull and the course isn't very good either.

There's a couple of good holes, but I was really dissapointed with this course. Only lived in the area for a couple of years and not really had a chance to explore other local courses yet. Is there any within say 5 miles which are good? Don;t really mind paying dollar as long as the course is interesting and reasonably challenging.

Still - with the weather improving perhaps a midweek game at some point?


Yes Sean - I'd be up for a game at some stage - but I have yet to meet anyone on this fourm so maybe I should make it along to the forum drinks first to get acquainted. But if you manage to arrange something in the meantime let me know.

Masters tees off tomorrow, any thoughts on who might win or a good EW bet?

It's fairly open this year, Tiger's back and already in the winning groove, how will Boy Wonder Rory cope with the pressure?, Harrington's going for the the Paddy Slam...I reckon a non-US player will win it and will have an EW punt on Rose (he tees off with Stenson tomorrow, so that should be good for his game), and Goosen who's hit a bit of form and knows how to win a Major...

I might back Rory for a bit of fun but of course it would be a stretch to see him winning. Rose and Goosen are good calls too. I'm not sure if Harrington has a good Masters record but he must be in the running.


I played golf at Westport at the weekend and there was a picture of McIlroy picking up the Irish Amateur championship there in 2005 aged 15 years old - the best amateur in Ireland at age 15 is amazing - he looked like a child in the picture. Amazing progression. Really would like to see him make the cut and be there for the weekend - after that who knows.

      What nonsense.  It's social mobility.  Huguenots moved to the East End and once they made a bob or two moved to more upmarket areas. Subsequently Jews.  Now Bangladeshi, particularly making a pretty penny once the hipsters moved in.   Antisemitism was a small factor and this was a generation or more ago.   "Jewish people moved out of London's East End between 1900 and the 1950s primarily to escape overcrowded, impoverished conditions and seek better housing and improved social standing in the suburbs." I expect few of us living in the area have witnessed first hand antisemitism.  We may well have seen racism against black, brown people and maybe Eastern Europeans.  Anti Irish sentiment was still prevalent 30 years ago - partly due to the troubles but partly some British superiority complex encouraged by generations of lewd comedians,  Glad that is behind us now.   Why do you have to make such toxic comments?  You'd be better off doing some research and educating yourself.  Here's some reading: https://www.ideastore.co.uk/local-history/collections-and-digital-resources/user-guides/migration-and-communities-in-the-east-end You don't have to thank me.

      I hear there is a task force on the oceans but I was confused to where it is going - Greenland?  The EU or UK in view that the former has a new trade deal and no doubt the PM is after a new one. @Sephiroth The state sponsored killings in the US and Iran got me thinking.  Whilst the scale is clearly different it's still hypocritical.  Not fact checked but apparently several hundred people are killed each year in the 'States by law enforcement officers.  in the UK it's around a couple so corrected for respective populations a couple of percent of the US figures.

      The diaspora was largely forced out of the East End a long time ago. The historical antisemitism behind that that is repeating itself again now, very sadly.
