What Do Some Golfers Do When They Can't Find Their Balls in The Snow?

Well two of them Graham Early and Steve Twynham decided to do a 10k challenge on the treadmill at the Roko gym, Clifton Moor York.
To be fair the two of them planned to do the challenge before the Christmas break anyway realising that it helps to be a supreme athelete if you want to improve your golf.
Graham and Steve had been training since early September 09,(thought I would just mention that before some comment was made suggesting 08).
The day finally arrived and the 10k challenge took place on December 19th at 9.30am.
What a great event it was, the staff at the gym, well one of them had dressed up as Santa's helper. I must say she could come down my chimmey anytime!!!!!!
Prior to entering the changing room the girl who works in the Costa Coffee (we should be getting paid for all these mentions) asked how long did we think it would take us. Our reply was quicker than we were served with a coffee the last time we visited Roko as we had to remind her twice that we had ordered. The banter was good and the place was energised.

Great news Steve and Graham broke the 60 minute mark, infact they both achieved personal bests. A fantastic day.

Celebrations took place in the coffee lounge, Santa's helper helped and served the coffee bringing it to the table, this really made the coffee taste that much better.
As a treat Steve had a Latte with Creme Brulee. Slightly worried at first when he asked what it tasted like and the reply came back.........a bit like rice pudding?

Well that is the 10k challenge done.
Graham and Steve now have to decide what the next challenge will be?

Ben Fogle and James Cracknell watch out, North Yorkshire challenges are on your case.

Enjoy the festive break.

Golf Question

Can you help with this one.

A player tees off and hits the ball in the rough.
Another player walking down the opposite fairway has also hit his ball into the rough and subsequently plays the wrong ball.
What should the player who tee'd off do?
What is the ruling.

Toe Story!!!!!

No it is not the latest sequel to Toy Story but an update on the injury.
Great to say things are improving and hopefully I will be back in the gym this weekend.
How I here you ask does this effect my golf?
Well quite simply it is a little difficult to hit the ball with the balance mainly on one leg.
Some would say that is how I normally hit it!!!!!

I will keep you posted.

Injury Scare For Golfing Duo

It seems that there may be a slight doubt about the SaleMoor4 trophy early next year following a freak accident to Steve Twynham.
Last night Steve tripped over his laptop bag severely bruising a toe in the process.
Speaking with local reporter Luke Bunion, Steve said "Hey these things happen if I remember Rio Ferdinand hurt is leg watching television. I am sure people are reading to much into this and I will be back on the course shortly".
Steve went onto say he will post regular updates on the progress of the injury and asked all to watch the blog for further information".

Golf Duo Lose Grouse at The Forest

Golfing duo Dick Browne and Steve Twynham holders of the Grouse SaleMoor4 trophy were stunned to lose the latest golf challenge at The Forest Park Course Stockton Lane on Friday the 23rd October 2009.
The killer golfing partnership of brothers Tony and Graham Earley took the trophy in a tight match on a glorious October day.
Sky news reporter Ivor Seenitall said "It was a great game to watch with the brothers taking the initiative at hole 8, then it was nip and tuck before they took a two hole lead. Browne and Twynham pulled a hole back but were unable to make up the deficit finally going down 3 to 1. Steve can be seen congratulating Graham and Tony.

and again

Tony and Graham put their win down to intensive preparation, skill, and the fact they were still smarting from handing over money following defeat at Sale earlier in the year.

Dick captured the moment the money was handed over just for prosperity.

The golfing foursome are looking forward to next challenge around April 2010 at the Sale Golf Club.
