    I don't play golf at all, well I tried about 15 years ago for about 6 months, but I wasn't very good but I've found watching Rob Beckett's Let's Golf You Tube channel compelling viewing.  Especially when he shouts prick at the ball after he mishits it.  I find that quite comforting from my own memories of playing!

    Anyhow, I've found myself walking back and forth up the driveway at Cherry Lodge most days while I wait for my daughters to come out of school, they go to the school opposite the entrance.  Does anyone play there?  
    I saw Rob Beckett on Sky yesterday when they showed the Pro-Am from Wentworth. He came over as very knowledgeable and highly entertaining around golf. 

    Also, if anyone else watched the coverage of yesterday I don't know if you were surprised as me to find than Anton Du Beke is a scratch golfer (actually plays off +0.4) and is a member at Wentworth. 

    As for Cherry Lodge. Played it a few times over the years, notably when there was a burnt out car behind a par 3 on the back 9. Good track but not played it in years. 
    mate of mine has played with Anton and said he's a top bloke and a pro caddy i know says Michael Macintyre a complete bellend 
    It's rare that a stage persona is the same as in real life.

    I've been playing golf for well over 50 years and I'm still not very good!
    I’m worse now than I was 35 years ago 😡

    Great bloke is Tommy @ValleyGary I would say we have quite a few mutual mates. 
    Does he have a brother called Joe.
    Yeah and his dad is Paul 
    Joe was in the year below me at school. Always came across as a real nice chap.
