Well only kind of

Adam's off playing De Vere Wychwood Park and sending updates of his round via Twitter whilst driving a buggy.  Before you all shout he's not holding anyone up due to being a 1 ball in a buggy!

buggy, check, balls, check, weather???http://tweetphoto.com/37125046

Approach to the 3rd http://tweetphoto.com/37132388

The lovely par 3 6th http://tweetphoto.com/37135640

Wow, par 5 7th playing into the wind and long. Narrow teer shot between bunker and stream!http://tweetphoto.com/37137577

I'm fine so far but I wouldn't reccomend driving and tweeting! Its dangerous! Just waiting on 10th tee. Out in 39.

little par 3 11th! Lost ball on 10, it just vanished! Not good start to back 9! http://tweetphoto.com/37144391

scrap that its birdie time here in the fun buggy, 2 on the bounce on 11 and 12!! Back to level!

Having one's cell 'phone deliberately switched on when playing is, in my opinion, extremely rude. 

I was once giving a chap a driving lesson on the range on a particularly cold day. In the middle of the lesson he received a call on his 'phone and went inside the clubhouse (for privacy) for "two or three minutes" leaving me outside in the biting wind.

Seventy two minutes later I went looking for him. He was still on the 'phone!

I leave my phone on. it doesnt vibrate or make noise. I check it every now and then. The last time it went off it was SWMBO and nipper was in a bad way.

I dont let it get in the way of other peoples game though

Just to clear up, I don't usually touch my phone during a round of golf, it's on silent and in the bottom of my bag.

This was all in the name of 'work' and Darren just likes getting me into trouble!

The course was virtually empty and I got permission from the Pro to take a few pictures and use Twitter, he said "As long as you don't hold anyone up."

I facebook and twitter whilst on the course, great way of distracting myself between shots, and sometimes passing the long waits you get on the tees sometime.
