A small bit. I'm not good.

I loved watching the Masters. As soon as you thought Spieth was going to lose ground he came up with the goods. Fantastic performance.

I was thinking about starting to play again, but I've no idea about the Dublin courses.

I played 5 or 6 years ago but was never very good.

Worked in a golf shop for a summer. Customers put me off golf for life.

There's a few pitch and putt courses up in Stepaside, I think there's a driving range too, which would get you back into the swing of things.

The Burrows is quite a big one, I think there might be some par 5's on it!

awec

Aye I've played stepaside, it's pretty crap.

Synode

Grange Castle is an easy enough course and is cheap. Good place to start

Synode

Or Elm Park or Sillogue if you're a northsider

Bridge93

Leopardstown is good fun to go around if you're crap like myself.

awec

Yea I live close to Leopardstown so I've been round it a few times in the past, if I remember right it's pretty easy as a course. Flat with hardly any trees. Will definitely be going round it a few times to get back into the swing of things before attempting a proper course

Really is. Takes a while to get used to battering golf balls at a wall and them not coming back and taking your head off, but once you do it feels like a decent game of golf.

Definitely booking this. 70 quid gets you a bay for 2 hours Monday to Wednesday plus 8 beers. So 17.50 for 2 hours golf and two beers if you have a 4 ball! Sounds great.

Have done it a couple of times in the last year and it has never failed to please. Oo er missus.

Watching Daredevil... And I can't see what all the fuss is about. Acting is woeful, especially the lawyer friend.

First episode is shaky admittedly enough but he comes into his own later on in season one.

Really?

I've a season ticket for Netflix and honestly I think Daredevil is top drawer stuff. The scene construction and then way the plot devices come together like a subtle game plan over the course of the 10 episodes really impressed me.

I think the Show runner / Director is maybe a little miss-understood but I think mostly it's just casual fans not getting it. Next season when we don't have any of the new TV show "fair weather" fans I think attitudes will be more realistic.

:pac::pac:

I like the action scenes, they are fantastic. Very Park Chan-wook. But the acting is just terrible... truly terrible. I know it's supposed to be a comic-book based series but I don't think that's enough to forgive piss-poor dialogue and wooden deliveries. I've only watched the first 3 episodes, but so far whilst the story and the action is great, the acting is such a turn off I struggle to watch it.

Just finished watching Bloodline in Netflix. That's very good, bit slow paced at times and maybe a tad predictable, but the acting and dialogue is brilliant, very intense all the way through.

I've only watched one episode but I'm not sure if I can get over the fact that the main character is a blind crime-fighting vigilante... its just a nonsense premise

Well I can accept that - it's a comic book, it's not supposed to be accurate or realistic.

But like I said, that doesn't atone for the poor acting.

Haven't looked at Bloodline yet but it's on the list. Am only just finished episode 3 myself but watching it with the misses and not taking it too seriously. I think the combat is well done and the story set up is fine. The dialogue isn't working and whilst they are aiming for chirpy and smart it's actually coming over a bit flat and ultimately not allowing anyone but the main character to develop.

Good to see Rosario Dawson there though, think she is a good actress and the chap playing Matt Murdock was excellent in Boardwalk so hopefully he can carry things.

I know what you mean. Reminds me of a movie that came out last year about some invulnerable alien that can fly and shoot lasers out of his eyes. Ridiculous stuff - I mean, who would watch that?

"Out of Africa" I think it was called.

I found out recently that I've been writing question marks in an abnormal way all my life.

It seems everyone writes the 'hook' first and then the dot. I was always the opposite.

As boring Kearney would say, what a time to be alive.
