while @Ro Sham Bo set a new weekly points record with an eye watering 250.

Without a doubt my finest hour in golf since winning the junior club championship handicap trophy two years running back in the day 👍

@Frank Sobotka I can’t remember who I actually picked. Do you have a record?

I do, I'll post everyone's teams and their individual points totals and the fantasy league lists etc tomorrow.

Played North Berwick on Monday. Absolutely tore up the first 8 holes and was starting to get confident about a best ever score, before having a 14 (FOURTEEN) on the 9th. Luckily that part of the course is away from the beach or might have walked into the sea. What a course though, definitely one of my favourites I’ve ever played.

Playing Dumbarnie on Sunday. NHS deal for July is great if anyone on here qualifies and fancies playing it without the massive green fee. Got 10 days left.

We're booked in to play Carnoustie, Dumbarnie and Panmure next weekend for our annual golf trip. Never played Carnoustie or Panmure (very, very excited for Carnoustie), but we played Dumbarnie last year (along with the Old Course and Castle). Old Course was incredible (Sorry Peppy poos), Castle was gimmicky shit, and Dumbarnie is also absolutely fucking brilliant. Not a bad hole on the course and the scenery is glorious. Rare to find a new course that's as good, so can't wait to see what it's like in 3 or 4 years when it's been fully bedded in. Clubhouse wasn't open at the point we played either, so be good to see what the food and pints are like too. Not sure I could justify playing it in the summer in isolation right enough as it's mental expensive, but as part of a package or deal it's an absolute must play.

£29 for NHS staff until end of the month. Otherwise couldn’t justify the price for a new course.

Edit: Panmure is class. Really well kept and tough track but if you play well can score well, not ludicrously difficult.

We'll be drinking heavily before, during and after both Carnoustie and Dumbarnie, so I doubt there'll be much playing well or good scoring going on by the time we get to Panmure tbh 😂

Cannot wait, been looking forward to this weekend for the last 6 months.

I used to be a member at Panmure. It’s a fine course. Always in good condition. Subject to hangovers enjoy it! [emoji106]

**Fantasy Golf Transfer Window**

Transfer window is now open and will close at start of play at the Olympics which is roughly midnight Wednesday 28th July. This is the final window and will take us up to the season ending DP World Tour final in November, bonus point events in this period are, The Olympics, WGC St Jude, the Fed Ex Cup finals (the BMW + the Tour Championship), the PGA Championship, WGC HSBC and the DP World Tour final.

There's unlimited transfers, but a gentle reminder that the more you make, the more work it is for me, so try not to change your whole team lads. 

Firstly, everyone's teams and their individual points totals. Previous transfers are marked with a * and the points scored since you transferred them in back in April.

@Mr Kane and the lemon cafe is also known as Perthshire Belle. He did send me a list of transfers last time, but his latest account was binned and the message was lost. He did advise me that he wished to give @Day of the Lords power of attorney, so if you're up for it, make some changes. Will be good practice for when you enter next year.

Played in Wednesday sweep today. Out in 37 despite losing a ball on the 2nd and had an excellent 20 Stableford points for the front nine. Miserable 12 points on the back 9. Hugely frustrating and feels like a real chance missed. I’ve largely scored well this season when making a good start but sadly not today.
My stellar gross 74 which had a score differential of 2.9 has now slipped out of my twenty most recent scores so handicap index now back up to 7.4 having been at a low of 6.6 a few weeks ago. Started the season at 9.6 so overall still a good season.

European Tour list.

Don't let the world rankings fool you. These guys travel the world trying to earn a decent living. Remember in this game, a win in Florida isn't worth any more than a win in whatever Asian/Middle East/African backwater is hosting the weekly European Tour event.

Is there no room for Si-Woo the putter snapper? Not sure if I’ve missed him but scanned a couple times and can’t see. Struggling to pick a couple slots. I’m sure you can guess who was first on my list though 🇿🇦  🤦🏻‍♂️
