Is this real??? Having seen his last bird, there is no way this wing nut could of ever of dreamt of smashing her without being a footballer!

Looks as if the 'ammers' are back on form, struggling.
JB substituted. Mark Noble kicking off.
Happy campers.
 
How have you got a photo of Askew’s clubs?
If you're into the history of golf - this is a good read.

According to my mother (RIP) - one of her great uncles on her father's side was a caddy @ St.Andrews and won one of the earliest British Opens. His photo in said book bears an uncanny resemblance to my maternal grandfather. My mother was occasionally prone to spinning a yarn & I have not yet proved the provenance of the tale. It did however take prominance in a speech at her funeral 20 odd years ago.
I still have a couple of clubs that belonged to my maternal grandfather and a couple of trophy's won by my paternal grandfather. Must have both been decent larkers - unlike myself - reasonable hacker. :emoticon-0106-cryin

When I spot them at garage sales or in certain antique stores, I pick up the odd club for my collection. They are not easy to play a round with !

I never got to play St Andrews whilst living north of the border, I walked it a few times watching tournaments. I played most of the well-known courses in Scotland, but sadly never got the chance to play there.
