Has I haven't been playing much golf due to my work commiments. I've decided to take the plunge and finally join a golf course (after 15+ years playing golf). It's nice and local, a smart 9 holes designed by James Baird in 1890.

The thing is, I have to go for an interview on Thursday night. What sort of things will they ask me? I hope they dont ask me to play the first hole, I always have a nightmare there.

It will just be a meet and greet, Danny.

Nothing to worry about. They won't ask you to play.

All they will do is explain things about the club. Give details of the comps. Tell you how to get your handicap etc. etc

Cool.

I'm in. Looking to play a bit more golf now.

Is it baird or Braid Danny???

Braid.

Well done, Danny, a very nice course and club. You have made the right decision. Onwards and upwards from now.

Have you played John?

Many moons ago, Danny, but this is what golf should be - a premium on accuracy over length. Your game will improve no end playing here, you mark my words.

Fancy playing again?

Now theres a chat up line if ever I've seen one

I would have followed it by 'big boy' if I was really chatting him up.

You are the big boy, Danny, and yes I would love to get over for a game sometime. A bit different from Pedham, I would think.

suppose you had better count me in...But not till October...I'm off on my holiday very soon

Will do.
