  1. Ten goes and I got a street in Auckland, NZ next door to my father-in-laws house.
  2. I’ve been following the big English sides in the seventies and eighties. Liverpool, Everton, Man United, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal. Theres thumping tackles and folk jumping out the way. Fantastic. [emoji16]
  3. Says it’s related to a wheat beer. It’s not. Don’t believe them.
  4. We have been touring New Zealand for 4 months now and have played 81 rounds on 72 courses. Here is the route we have covered on the North Island so far - Northlands first, then The Coromandel, across to Taranaki, then down the west coast. Generally the rounds cost between NZ$20 to NZ$50 (£10 to £25) 8 months still left. My handicap has gone up by 2 strokes since we started but should be more. The quirkiest course so far was Rangatira that is on a number of levels and you catch a ski lift after completing the 18th to get back up to the clubhouse level. We enter the local competitions as we go round the country and I’ve been lucky to pick up a couple of meat pack prizes.
  5. 63 and a half. We didn’t have a telly but our Neighbours invited us round to watch England win the World Cup.
  6. I think there is also the soft cap and hard cap to consider. https://www.golf.co.nz/uploads/3%20LIMIT%20OF%20UPWARD%20MOVEMENT%20OF%20A%20HANDICAP%20INDEX.pdf My handicap is not reflecting the best 8 rounds out of 20 rigmarole but is limited because of either the soft or hard caps within the past year (I haven’t figured which). Playing like a dog at present.
  7. Mount Taranaki, New Zealand. iPhone photo doesn’t do it justice.
