Spot on Puck. I love those short par fours that require you to think a bit

Nice win for Graeme there in Paris. Winning any open by 4 is a great result. 9th win on the tour

The bookies odds are a lot different - Tiger is 6/1 or 7/1 and GMac at 25's

Bit of guidance required. Anywhere near the Cooley peninsular where a man could get on to a golf course without a handicap?

I am not a Golfist but I would assume the Ballymac hotel would be a good starting point. http://ballymascanlon.com/

I honestly can't remember the last time I was asked for a handicap certificate in Ireland.

I'd guess that as long as you're dressed right, and your equipment doesn't look like it was dragged from your grandad's closet, then you'll never be asked or challenged, even if you hold the club cackhanded and pop your first tee shot three feet.

A friend of mine was teeing off in Portugal, completely miss hit his drive and it bounced 20 yards left onto the first teebox of an adjacent golf course. He asked the starter if he was allowed to play the ball, and the starter said "yes, as long a you pay a second gree fee"
