I'm terrible too if it helps and you need someone else in that foursome
You’re on.
He got a par.
Justin Rose hit his Tee shot half as far and got a birdie. Good
Edit/ that might have been another hole
22 does not equal crap.... it usually means 18 you bandit
15 years ago I was under 18. I had a break from it, came back 12 years later and forgot how to hold a club. Slowly working at it again.
I believe he birdied it because he duffed his approach shot short of the green.
I don’t know why he didn’t wait for the green to clear and go for it.
Oh dear .
I wonder if this will impact on Sir Bradley Wiggins or Chris Froome
Former British Cycling and Team Sky chief doctor Richard Freeman has been found guilty of ordering banned testosterone in 2011 "knowing or believing" it was to help dope a rider.
A medical tribunal ruled Freeman ordered Testogel with the knowledge "it was to be administered to an athlete to improve their athletic performance".
He had previously admitted 18 of 22 charges but denied the central charge regarding the purpose of the order.
His hearing will resume on 17 March.

Yes . I posted on the Rabbit hutch . If you , or anyone else enjoys reading , give his autobiography a go
Before football, before rugby, cricket, or any other, F1 has always been my sport.
It was in my blood from a very early age, as my late father was obsessive about motor sport. He, and therefore we, were lucky enough to be involved in the BASF sponsorship of the old 80s Group C sportscars, so many would be the Sunday afternoon spent at Brands Hatch, Thruxton or Silverstone for us at a race meeting.
As a result, the soundtrack to our Sunday afternoons would be the voice of Murray Walker, or 'Muddly Talker' as dad would refer to him.
He was one of those commentators that came to define their sport - like Motty with the football, Coleman for athletics and Maskell at Wimbledon. Hugely passionate, knowledgeable, and essentially, at heart, just a fan, like us.
Yes, he made a quite staggering amount of mistakes in his commentary, but that really was part of the fun.
97 is a great knock by anyone's reckoning. His voice will live on.
Rest in Piquet.

I had the absolute pleasure to meet and have the chance to chat to him at the F1 Masters at Kyalami in South Africa when I lived there. Such a gentleman with all the time in the world for F1 fans and honestly surprised when I asked him to autograph his autobiography (which is a tremendous read). Yes, he made mistakes in his commentary, but a lot of that was due to his sheer excitement (and I used to love the way where James Hunt would lugubriously correct him!)
Such a shame he didn’t quite make his century - but a great innings. RIP Murray - thanks for the wonderful memories
My father raced Formula cars, ending in 1985 (guess when I was born, heh) so I also grew up with F1 and with Walker calling the races. Legend doesn't even approach it.
Mentioned in Rabbit Hutch that I met him 3-4 times and he was such a wonderful bloke. So much time for everyone - after 5 mins it was like I'd known him a lifetime. Claim to fame is that after i met him the first time, about a year later he remembered my name and asked how I was and had I read his book yet (see Rabbit H).
Lovely, lovely gentleman and the voice of F1.
