    Nah
    It’s all about the Odyssey Stroke Play range (although mine is defective because it points in the wrong direction and sometimes goes too far and other times not far enough...probably a manufacturing fault)

    It seems to me that it could be operator error. Has someone more competent tried to operate this equipment?

    To think Den, if only you hadn't drunk all those bottles of malt whisky you had bought in your lifetime.

    Lump to the throat.
    every day is a good day
    keep going Bill

    OLIVER HOLT: Even for a suffering man like Bill, it's belief that keeps us fans coming back
    4hrs ago
    ‘The reason I’m banging on about that is that people who have incurable diseases need a lot of psychological stuff to keep them going and a lot of it is belief. It is the power of positive thinking but it is more than that. Don’t just say “I might get better” or “I can get better” but say “I will get better”.’

    He adds: ‘I am not the world’s greatest exponent of that theory because there is some voice in my head that sometimes says “What if?” but in the here and now, I believe I will get better. Put that in a football context and I was saying, “We are going to get promoted, we are going to do it”. I like to think that the collective thinking — this is all getting a bit whacky now — of the Wycombe fans who follow me on Twitter pushes the team on.’

    Bill looks well. He says he woke up that morning feeling stronger than he has done for some time. He no longer eats sugar or dairy products or bread. He does not drink alcohol. He has lost weight. He practises yoga. He has a playlist of Tibetan chanting that brings him great comfort and joy. And he is on a new drug called Enzalutamide that is helping him make significant advances against the disease that had spread to his pelvis, spine, hips and legs by the time it was diagnosed.

    Jubilant scenes met Wycombe's promotion, with boss Gareth Ainsworth beaming with pride
    It is peaceful here in his garden, aside from the spatter of the fountain of water that climbs up from the surface of his pond and falls back into the water to feed the fountain again.

    He is relishing the thought of Wycombe’s first season in the Championship and, even if he has to be wary of the threat of the coronavirus, he is encouraged by the characteristics of Adams Park. ‘It can be awfully draughty in those corridors,’ he says.

    He is reading Neil Harman’s excellent book on Wycombe’s triumphal season, Close Quarters, and he and his son, Henry, have bought season tickets for the campaign ahead. He laughs at the fact that FourFourTwo magazine has predicted Wycombe will be relegated.

    ‘They said we would be relegated last season, too,’ he says. The biggest obstacle to his attendance is the fact that it is a three-hour journey to the ground. ‘It’s the only thing I don’t like about living here,’ he says.

    So they will go as often as they can. ‘One of the reasons I love Wycombe so much,’ Bill says, ‘is that it feels like family. When I go there, it feels like I am going home. I’ve been going there for 20 years and I’m so familiar with it and I know that some of the personnel change but some things just don’t change.

    ‘And it feels warm and caring and just being there is part of the experience, regardless of what happens on the pitch and I get a lot out of that and it’s a great comfort to me. A really great comfort to me.’

    One day, lets hope that that family feeling returns to the KC. Though I doubt it might be called that when that happens...

    So from Monday all gatherings over 6 will be banned in the UK and yet, tomorrow until Saturday there are 5k (I think this is the figure) people at Doncaster races.... just like the 40k at Cheltenham the week before lockdown...!!!!!!

    It's part of a pilot scheme designed to get people back on the racecourse and as you've said,it's before Monday.

    Temperature checks,masks to be worn etc,no people from locked down areas to attend,so seems to be very well organised.Racing is in real danger of going to the wall and they are trying to save the sport from going under and save thousands of jobs in the process.

    I was speaking to a groundsman from Ayr races yesterday and they've been served redundancy notice.A similar scheme was to take place next week for the Ayr Gold Cup meeting next weekend with a crowd of 1000 per day,however,someone decided no alcohol was to be served so Ayr refunded all tickets bought!!!

    In my opinion it's no different to going to work or going shopping.

    The trouble is Ric and as a racegoer myself.... and I presume you are, nice weather + alcohol = stupidity... I haven't seen anyone pissed up shopping in a while...
    and if you are a racegoer, you'll know they go hand in hand...
