This is great.
During the 1976 Open, players used the Royal Birkdale clubhouse and locker room.
The club had a match against Formby the following week and posted their team on the notice board outside the locker room.
Tom Watson (then Open champion) wrote "Reserves" on the sheet and added his name.
Throughout the week more and more players added their name the reserves list: Nicklaus, Seve, Miller, Bobby Locke, Dai Rees.
The club framed the sheet and it remains in the locker room at Royal Birkdale.
@man_savings I bought the cops mundial version of these on the anniversary…opened them, tried them on and hmhave been wearing for football since. I’ve had my money’s worth but guess they might be worth a bit more had I not!
The leather lining is very slippy for socks when you actually play!
@jonathan_church@StanCollymore@jonawils Does it make any difference whether it’s a toe offside or a heel onside really? There is a line for offside, and if we can’t measure that accurately, it doesn’t really matter where they draw it does it?
@yourgolftravel …and if you’re a two ball behind a three ball who are behind a four ball…?
I hate slow rounds but equally it is a sport to be enjoyed, not a race around a field with sticks and balls.
(Most completion rounds at my club are 4 hours give or take 10 mins)
