    It's the money. Everyone knows it but I can't understand why it is a problem. Golf is their job.

    My game has gone completely to ****. I've gone from low to mid 80s to barely breaking 100!

    It's become embarrassing. Time to book a lesson me think!

    Can't wait for Saturday. First round in 6 weeks because of damn sciatica.

    Hope those on the adjacent fairways have frigging helmets on :)

    Not really the same question but I don't really care. I don't have an impact on ownership. Our last owner wasn't exactly squeaky clean.

    I may not agree with everything they stand for but I highly doubt I agree with anyone 100%

    I'm happy to admit I'm a mercenary though. I'll always leave jobs for higher paying ones.

    Good luck mate. Enjoy it. I'm playing terribly and hate those bad shots but I still enjoy the round, as a whole

    I think it was Qwop who took the challenge from Stevie Wonder anytime anywhere for a £100 bet. Qwop thinking well even i can’t be that bad he’s blind for god’s sake, so said yes. Stevie says your course tomorrow at 2am.

    I've play 9 x 18 holes in 11 days. My feet, back and knee's are shagged. In that time i spent over £220 behind the bar as well. Some going for a fat lad.

    I am okay with the financial aspect of it as it is their profession, but draw the line at who is the paymasters.

    It's live on their You Tube channel.

    The problem with golf at a professional level....all golfers are self employed, The money being offered by the Saudi's is breathtaking, I have many friends who have left the UAE where they made a great living, to head for Saudi....only one reason....more MONEY. Golfers are no different
