"The pandemic turned so many people’s lives upside down, including my own," writes Harriet Shephard for #KhaleejTimes.

"I missed having friends from every corner of the world, the safety, the opportunities, and Abu Dhabi’s welcoming and inclusive community."

A tweet about a golf course for a change.
Groundbreaking 😜 @CJ_Bertram

[Chris Bertram @CJ_Bertram]

In February I was privileged to play the first-ever round on Terras da Comporta's Dunas course with @DavidMcLayKidd & @conorWalsh11.
My take on it is in the new issue of Today's Golfer & the opening spread is below.
The full article, though, is here... https://t.co/CLrJ7gZTDY

Who could ever get bored of golf course rankings? 🫠

[UK Golf Guy @ukgolfguy]

There’s a Top 200 English courses list out today from @TheTodaysGolfer. It really shows the depth of good golf in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Any surprises here for you?

Freak weather frustratingly washed out the pro tournament but still a brilliant trip to @constancehotels Belle Mare Plage for the @euLegendsTour season climax - including the celebrity final.
Even made some new friends.
