@GordonBannerman @ScottishGolf I’m extremely jealous. Playing the Old Course is on my bucket list.

Only three putts? Are you sure? Remember, I’ve seen you putt before… 😋

Top job on the first, by the way!

[Colin Channon @colinchannon]

@GordonBannerman @ScottishGolf Fantastic.
1. Was it as good as everyone says?
2. How many putts did you take on some of those gigantic greens? More than four? 😋

@stevebone1 Hope you all had a good day, Boney.

@stevebone1 Lovely photo, Steve.

[Colin Channon @colinchannon]

@stevebone1 “12 meters high…”
“three storeys’
Let’s hope the building work includes an education centre, Steve…..😋

[Colin Channon @colinchannon]

@stevebone1 Really sad news. He would ban us when we wrote something he didn’t like, and then invite us to coffee at Port Solent or a pizza at the Hilsea Italian place and we would make up. Life with him was never dull. And he was always a real gent.

@Bunkybowers Never seen you and Mystic Meg in the same room. Perhaps….

[Colin Channon @colinchannon]

@Bunkybowers @SkySportsNews @pn_neil_allen @pn_jordan_cross Quite right, Bunks, quite right. It’s good to see we taught you something at The News!

[Colin Channon @colinchannon]

@GordonBannerman How many putts, Gordon? I’m betting more putts on the course than sheep… 😋

[Colin Channon @colinchannon]

@PeterFinchGolf @bmwgolfsport And @wesleybryangolf doing well. But what was the point of @DPWorldTour inviting them over if they are then hardly shown on TV? Is our tour as petty as the @PGATOUR ?

[Colin Channon @colinchannon]

@SmudgerG77 All the best, Gav. Hope you’re back in management soon. You were excellent to work with when I was at the Herald and it was much appreciated.

[Colin Channon @colinchannon]

Well done @ScottishPower . Install our smart meter and cut off our outside power in the process. And then tell us we have to get an electrician in to put it right. But it's YOUR error, not ours. Top quality customer service.

@SouthernWater No running water in PO12 at the moment.

[Colin Channon @colinchannon]

@pn_neil_allen 'Cranking' your work? Don't you mean 'turning it into readable prose'? 😋
Did you get my email, Neil?

[Colin Channon @colinchannon]

@pn_neil_allen I made some good editorial decisions. And some not so good... 😋

@stevebone1 But you’re 50 yards from a fairway. That’s the danger zone when I’m playing. You’d be much safer walking down the centre of the fairway. I’m never there.

@BLFC1907 Enjoyed the game today. With a little more luck in front of goal, the Baggies would have left Portsmouth with all three points.
