Morning all,

putt Mashie **

** Other bizarre golfing terms are also available. How a sport with such bizarre terms has managed to avoid being on the PH list of interests is anyone’s guess. But it has. Also see cricket.

** Curses Sir, you stole my next word! Still, I suppose if a mashie turns up, surely a niblick will not be far behind... Other excruciating euphemisms for a right royal cock-up are also available. See most England managers for further details. On an ongoing basis…

yeah, sorry Nick. I was just saying that the PH level of attainment in golf is basically relegated to that of ‘crazy golf. ’ I did once break the course record for the first hole at Windermere pitch and putt, but it transpired that 16 attempts at hitting the ball 10 yards was not, actually, regarded as very good. Since then, I have always stuck to crazy golf. Plus you have to walk a hell of a lot less. HP was just an erroneous transposition of PH.
