It's rare that a stage persona is the same as in real life.oohaahmortimer said:

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.JohnBoyUK said: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?
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.

I am 82,I have Parkinsons,my handicap is now incaculable,I rarely hit a ball correctly,sod it,i play with mates my own age,who are also suffering various ailments which brings them down to my level.If I didnt make the effort to get out on the course and make a pratt of myself,I would be vegetating in an arm chair waiting for the inevitable.8

Ingrebourne Links in Rainham Essex is a must to play , played it 3 times now and it doesn’t disappoint every time .0

Maybe set the golf day up as a new thread, so it catches various other members eyes.meldrew66 said:I’m up for a ‘CharltonLifers’ golf day if others fancy it. Orpington based here so Chelsfield and Lullingstone are my nearest public courses but open to suggestions. Been playing for 40+ years but still a 20 handicapper as only play about 4-6 times each year.
i play off 21 mostly at high elms, but haven’t checked this thread in over 2 years.
might just work.0 -
