What are Fairy Rings ? To put it roughly, mushrooms in a circleWhere would you use a Stimp Meter ? Cricket, it's green speed for the ballWhat is an Agrostide ? Not a clue How many is an Albatross on a par 5 ? Two shots (never had one and still playing golf after 40 years)Who was the last male golfer to win back to back British Opens ? The wife is Irish and I am an ardent golfer, so I'm going for Padraig Harrington?

I can confirm that after working as a greenkeeper for 18 years it is a bugger to look after !

Where were you a green keeper Norfolk? I am a member of a course in Northern Brittany, the greens there today are in top condition, never thought to ask what grass it is.

Greenkeeper from 1994 to 2013 near Limoges. The course closed about five years ago due to financial problems. Which course do you play ? I nearly took a job at a course in Brittany, I’d rather not say which.

I nearly took a job at a course in Brittany, I’d rather not say which. I play (as a member) at Chateau les Ormes between Dol de Bretagne and Combourg, super course and holiday complex. When we lived in the Dordogne, a friend and I use to play at the Perigueux public course and on occasion, Cognac, Back then very few 18 hole courses in Dept 24, thus having to travel to Cognac. Can't recall a course in Limoges. PM the course in Brittany, or on here, no worries?

Perigueux was not bad though I prefer Angouleme. The 18 hole course near Montbron (16) Le Chat was a real tester, the island hole being my downfall. Saintes was ok too. My local course in Albi is nice but very pricey, out of my range I’m afraid. Limoges has two courses, a municipal which was built on an old aérodrome is ok and the private course is a real tester.

The problem was those courses were just too far for me to get 18 holes in and get back to work. We lived near Brantome back then.I am playing in Rennes tomorrow as our course is closed for a Breton seniors competition and we have a recipricol agreement with 7 or 8 courses where we can play when our course is closed to members.

Good idea. I know we had that with the clubs in Norfolk and Suffolk. It was a good way to play other course at a discount price

It was a good way to play other course at a discount price We don't actually pay to play at other clubs when ours is closed for a competition, it is recipricol and of course when their course is closed we will often get other course members playing at our club
