Greetings,

It's here it's here, it's only blooming here. The RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-RYDER CUP! There has been so much hype, people have literally been combusting all over the place with excitement. I swear it's true. I know many of you will be polishing your tickets as we speak or even posting a picture of them onto Facebook , which seems to be the new trend. I unfortunately won't be joining you there as I will no doubt be in the maternity suite and Paisley Hospital. My wife is pregnant don't worry, I don't have a thing about hospitals! Yes, Ba Ba Ba Babybell number 2 is nearly upon us and I have been nesting, yes nesting. I have spent more time in the garden than a patio chair and more time in the attic than a nesting sparrow. I know that in 6 months time the garden will be like an episode of Lost and my attic will probably be kind of similar. My grey swooshes of hair are getting greyer and swooshier by the day and in a few weeks time I could look like Phil but taller, more handsome, better chat, ok nothing like Phil, just grey!

MAYBE'S AYE MAYBE'S NAW

Woweee, last week was the only time ever I have had to actually think hard about who I voted for. I am in no way a political person, in fact I have no time for politicians to be honest. I am not going to harp on about what I voted but I think you will agree that it allowed us all to think hard about our life and the lives of our families. It probably made us search a little bit deeper into what is important to us and think about what comes out of politicians mouths. I really wish we could strap them to lie detectors and find out what they say is truth. I'm afraid that none of us will really know if what was the truth and what was made up but I am convinced in future years that something no doubt come out to surprise us. I love Scotland in the Union, out the Union as long as the people within our wonderful country work hard and respect each other.

LINLITHGOW PRODUCES SCOTTISH CHAMPIONS

I am not talking about me being voted 'Scottish Hunk in his Trunks 2014' but that of Margo Gardner and Helen Hunter being crowned Scottish Match Play Foursomes Champions. It is an absolute awesome achievement and something that the girls should be so proud of. We as a club should be so proud of them also, so please stop them and congratulate them. I would like to point out that I got a kiss from both of them, but I am the Professional!

FIRE SALE AT BHS

With all the worry about the referendum etc, some high street stores were in a state of complete panic. Some going further than others with huge discounts being thrown at many of their clothing ranges. BHS were shaking with fear and released some fantastic jumpers at ridiculous prices. The only reason I know this as I was greater on the 1st tee by two of our members sporting some of their senior citizen range for 2014. 

LOGAN FALLING IN DADDYS FOOTSTEPS

Logan my little boy has finally shown an interest into golf and I was absolutely thrilled. It was on holiday this year in Arran and on a tatty public putting green but he showed promise. He did have 4 counts of racket abuse and launched daddy's ball onto the beach as my ball went into the hole before his. But apart from some signs of frustration, he did finish 18 holes of putting and carried his own club. He did say to me that the greens at Linlithgow are far better and when he grows up and owns his own course, he would like Grant Peters to be in charge of the turf!

LOOKS ARE SO IMPORTANT!

I am not being shallow but only referring to how the look of a golf club is so important to many people. We all drive different cars and live in different houses, we wear different clothes and have different looking partners. So the way things look are important and engrained in our DNA. Some people may be more affected by this than others but it does play a part. The first thing I do in a fitting is display the club heads and ask the famous Graeme Bell question!
