What a clueless fool, on several levels. Sky must not have any subscribers in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland for them to broadcast this. Bemoaning England’s lack of qualifying defeats smacks of the time Blair was attacked for reducing NHS waiting times too much!
"Why is our enjoyment of football being interrupted for something that is boring" 😴 Kaveh Solhekol reflects on the news that UEFA have set up a working group which will consider making changes to the format of international qualifiers ⚽️

Crownwood looks the part... and a move to the top 20 for Visby.

Four new entries in Continental Europe's Top 100 Courses 2025. Two are brand new - Crownwood Club in Sweden & Terras da Comporta (Torre) in Portugal. Germany's Fohr & PGA National Czech Republic also come in. My favourite list to compile. I've played all 100 & 142 of the top 150.

"I said to my caddie 'I’m going to be so fired up, so let's start easy'. I hit my approach on the 1st to 30ft. Azinger hits it to 1ft. But I drained my putt and was like, 'F**k this!'” Lots more quotes like this that make you smile from Niclas Fasth⬇️. Great guy & a fine career.

Five courses from St Andrews, all three courses from Gullane, all three at Gleneagles, two from Carnoustie and both from Turnberry. Plus a thoroughly revamped, ranked Next 100. And a couple of what I think are lovely features.

I swiftly described Scotland's GB&I entries to give space for big splashes on Trump New & Old Petty, as well as shine a light on the second half of the list. Notable nudges for Dunbar, Panmure & Murcar in what is an exceptionally competitive section. And then Crail and Longniddry

Scotland's Top 100 Courses 2025 included two high-profile new entries. Trump Aberdeen (New) and Cabot Highlands (Old Petty) both come into the list in prominent positions despite only opening in the middle of summer. This contrasting pair will unquestionably move up the list....

This makes me smile a lot. It would absolutely blow the mind of the 15-year-old me, who was obsessed with Sportscene, Grandstand and all the rest of the programmes Dougie presented. A huge and sincere thanks!
Just read the always excellent @CJ_Bertram latest list of Scotland's Top 100 courses in @TheTodaysGolfer. Of course I might take issue with some of the ranking-but that's the point ! And quite pleased to have played 55 of them...⛳️

He would be, by quite some distance, the best player in the world if he was playing in this era. [How was that first penalty not given?!!]

Only off the mark with the CDM ⬇️. And I hope Guehi plays there a lot! He’s good enough on the ball.
Every chance the Liverpool team that starts 2025-26 looks surprisingly different from the title winners. Two new full-backs almost certainly. Could easily see Jota, Nunez & Diaz all going, so two new forwards at least. Everyone seems to love Gravenberch but a new CDM likely IMO
