He’s currently one of the biggest recording stars in the world, a multi-millionaire at 26 years years old, could probably attract any woman on the planet he wanted…..and plays golf off a 6 handicap - surely life doesn’t get any better than this? (other than playing off scratch). If it does, I’d sure like to know how!

While on a family holiday Justin Timberlake stayed at the Carnoustie Golf Hotel and on Sunday took the opportunity to play a four-ball at the famous Carnoustie course, the venue to this year’s Open. Word got round the town quite quickly though, and with Carnoustie being a public course, as far as the fans were concerned it was, ‘access all areas’ - so that a quiet game of golf was soon interrupted by having to chat, sign autographs and pose for pictures with fans.

Not at all wanting to compare myself to Justin in any way (I wish!), I couldn’t let this opportunity go by without mentioning a landmark in my own game - my first ever birdie! The scene of my success was the 365yd par 4, ninth hole at my local course. Not just this, but it was my best round yet. It’s rounds like this which give you renewed hope and restore your faith, confidence and motivation in the game…..well until the next time anyway!

I also came across, ‘The Floppy’, described as, ‘the revolutionary indoor Golf Ball’. The floppy is a soft skinned, indoor practice ball, which mimics the feel of a real golf ball. The idea is that ‘The Floppy’ reduces collateral damage on those practice rounds within the home and meanwhile placates the wife. Surely they could have come up with a better name ( I don’t know - the ‘Weener’) and there’s no mention either of the rather obvious threat within the home as well, from swinging at the ball with steel and graphite shafts - surely not conducive to the longevity of the antiques either? I like the name of the company behind it though - “Balls Out, Inc”
