Me and my Dad enjoying a round of 18 at the Woods of Westminster golf club. This is the 9th hole elevation on this tee must be 100ft up from the green. Means you can drive the 320 yard hole onto the green! :) (Needless to say i did but Dad was a little wayward haha) This was momentous for us both as i have moved to the USA so the golf days with Dad are a lot more few and far between. By the way, it cant be seen on this angle, but in the background is the Wachusett Ski Mountain, you can see the slopes and slaloms - its actually a very spectacular view and right on my doorstep now!

You know those off days when NOTHING goes right? Well this was one of those days... stepping onto the 18th tee, I hadn't hit a single fairway ALL DAY! The 18th hole is a stroke one uphill par four with wind blowing into us. Spray and pray... I finally hit my first fairway! 148m to the pin, water short right, bunker behind the water, bunker left with water further left... pin at the back of the bottom tier. 8 iron, baby fade... tracking, tracking, BOOM! or not... it lipped out for an amazing hole out eagle, but luckily I had this tap-in birdie for a crowd-pleaser. When people ask me how I played, I simply reply: "1 under... on the last hole..."

Durbanville Golf Club Early Bird We need Rain Sa! Course still in great shape
I recently captained a team golf event (The Breda Cup) played by 24 of my friends. One prize on offer at the competition each year is a signed photo of Miguel Angel Jimenez- it is won by the golfer who can most accurately predict the outcomes of the singles matches on day 2 of the competition. The sole condition of acceptance of this treasured prize is that the winner (in this case, me) must agree to send Mr Jimenez a signed photo of himself holding the signed photo of Miguel. I did this- sadly, but perhaps unsurprisingly, I did not receive a reply. The photo I sent is attached below.
Last weekend, a group of 24 of my friends and I played in The Breda Cup, a two day team golf event with scotch foursomes on day 1 and singles on day 2. As captain of Team Europe, I organised a few extra treats for the team, including these personalised ball markers for everyone.

This sums up the Sesson 13 Final. Team ROW under Captain Lyth. They really were the Leopards hunting down the European Impala!
Playing Apes Hill golf club was one of the exhilarating experiences of my golfing life.
Closest to a hole in one Ive ever achieved, it would have topped off my best ever round of my life 82 (including 3 birdies, {this was one}, 6 Pars, also 1 Triple Bogie and 2 Double). It could have been even better after missing 2 3to4 foot putts as well!!! Scoring will be so much harder after my associated Handicap cut).
Dave Shearing trying another unusual stance/trick shot to save his par. Unfortunately even though he managed to execute an amazing shot he missed the next putt.

Partial panoramic shot of the view from the new ninth tee at Cruden Bay. If you stand where the golf bag is you can see almost every hole of the moonscape 19-hole course, and the locals reckon it may be the best view in golf. Proud to say my brother, Iain, was involved in the redesign. Trying to escape the picture is former club champion Chris Gilbert, who reckons Iain and the greens committee added several new fairway bunkers specifically to catch him out...

Hi Folks, A view back from the seventh green at Bridport and West Bay Golf Club in Dorset on the 10th September, the tall ship took a bit of arranging and it was one heck of a carry to get to the green. I'm not sure of the name of the ship but it may possibly be Le Marite which attended the Weymouth Waterfest during the last weekend, either way a nice view. Regards, Len

Watch the birdies! Last week I saw some baby pheasants crossing the golf course - they had no clue the dangers they were facing. Sadly by the time I got my camera out they were disappearing into the long grass.... so well camoflaged for beautiful birds.
Playing golf one day after a lot of rain had fallen, I hooked a wild drive into the long rough. We struggled to find it.... but eventually there it was under a huge 'fairy' toadstool. My husband said I should not hit it as destroying the toadstool was bad karma and would upset the fairies!! So as it was just a friendly match :-) I took a penalty drop and didn't disturb those fairies.

I have played golf in many places and have seen many animals on a golf course. This was a first. A tame fox and apparently he loves yogurt.
Me at Golf des Alouettes, Les Herbiers, Vendee, France. The greens looks very "green" doesn't it? That's because its artificial grass!! Very odd to putt on but actually quite smooth and very fast BUT no chance of stopping approach shots on it.
Possibly the narrowest (and silliest) tee I have ever seen - the 9th at Golf des Alouettes in Les Herbiers, Vendee, France. Yes that white ball in the trees signifies the tee off point!

Took my daughter, Lara, to play her first 9 holes of golf. At 10 years old, she just wants to whack the ball. Needless to say her whacking was pretty good and she made par on the first hole that she ever played and nearly made a hole in 1. She hit in the pin on this par 3 and had less than a metre for birdie. Here she is on the green.

This is my fellow Virgin Swinger , Peter Hunt just after he emerged from the pond on the 3rd Hole , a par 5 , at Portal Championship on Sunday June 30th. We were putting out on the green beyond the pond when Peter's electric trolley suddenly re-started and drove itself forward , straight into the pond. Peter moved like lightning to try to avert the trolley rolling in but to no avail. Unperturbed , he jumped straight in to rescue his Trolley , Clubs, Battery (which he had to fish for on the bottom ) but more importantly , his £700 i - phone is in his bag too !!Eventually, he rescued it all and went back to put out in the Gleeds Trophy Competition to make a brave bogey 6 ( I think he was out of time really but nobody complained ). A truly valiant effort by a dedicated Swinger. Peter asked me to keep his phone in my dry golf bag while he tried to dry out his gear. When I checked if it was still working he was very happy as he was still in the pond trying to find his battery which had

Playing Golf today Wednesday 27 th March at Portal. This is the 2nd Hole par 4. Course is covered in snow but tees and greens had been cleared. It was impossible to go long through the green as the snow had been piled up high at the back. It was great fun and we only lost 1 ball. Problem was we didn't have a yellow ball between us so all played with white ones. Big problem ! Can't wait for weekend to see if it gets better or worse.

My friend got stuck with the buggy on the one fairway. He asked me to push him out. The result: Me ending up with very dirty pants, and him clearly amused
My Favourite course- in a beautiful natural environment. Course built on the edge of 26 mile Coeur d'Alene Lake- Idaho US with this signature Island Green. A boat is manned as you are taken over to 'putt out'! The island green plays host to 2000 geraniums.
SCENIC This is a photo of the 10th green (taken from the fairway)at The Legends Course at Orange Lakes Orlando. You need a good drive to put yourself in wedge range going over the water for the shot to the green. On this Palmer designed course you have the option to also bail out with a shot the right, but going for the pin is what golf is all about.

About Steve Campbell - he has been golfing all over the world. So on his behalf I'd like to submit this photo of him with a story. We played the Belfry a couple of years back and Steves drive made it to the spot on the 18th (shown in the photo) from which Christy O'Connor Jnr launched his famous 2 iron to the green to win his the Ryder cup match with Fred Couples. Now Steve and I had a match going ourselves and he was one-up on me, so there was more to my encouraging words than might be apparent when I told him to go for it. Suffice to say in True Tin-cup style he took out his 3 wood and launched his ball.... you guessed it, straight into the lake before the 18th green. What a pl..nker - I mean he's my Belfry golf hero.
