Spitefully wishing for losses just throws me back to the Steve Staunton witch hunt. It's sports fandom at its worst. (Hooliganism aside, obviously).

Irish sports in general I think, the following managers have had torrid times after leaving their posts:

Eddie O Sullivan - Best win percentage of any Irish coach ever
Declan Kidney - Is going to find it very hard to get work
Stan - As mentioned above(good guy but poor coach of Ireland)
Brian Kerr - Most successful underage Irish coach of all time, career in ruins now.

Eddie found his level in the US.
Kidney should pick up a decent job.
Stan is a disaster zone.
Kerr is terrible - go back to underage level cause that's all he's cut out for.

Got it there last week in xtravision for 4.99 on a trade in with a couple of old ds games I had lying around(don't know how they plan on selling them)
Haven't got around to playing yet but the reviews are good. Must give it a bash some day during the week.

Any holiday plans folks? I'm halfway through a month in Florida and gagging for a game, only golfing upside is the golf channel over here is excellent, plenty of variety and golf shows from early morning, golf gear not that cheap in the mainstream shops, you have to surf for the good deals.
99degrees today, just not possible to do much in that heat.

Hi Slave1

I am going to be playing the Bears Club next week, not sure if there is a spot or not but if there is are you interested?

Thanks for the offer, I actually drove by Nona last Thursday, next to MCO airport if I recall, this is a family holiday so golf off the agenda, left my clubs at home and am Mr Taxi to shopping malls and the parks, trip to Jupiter would be too far to get away with

Sounds better than it is, I am over working for a month and brought the family with me this time. Kids are really loving it, weather is hot and clammy but not too bad.

Have manages to get a little golf in but I really do suffer with the heat, even with lots of liquid I have a banging headache by the turn, someone recommended salt tablets which I might try.

Lots of pressure to sell but it is nice to be here and have the weather and some golf on outstanding courses.

Never heard of this, does it work?
Suffer from them myself, but was them putting down to hunger and no sunglasses, neither of which transpired to be..

I think what people forget to do especially in the heat is to eat and drink from about the 2nd/3rd hole on as even though you don't feel hungry/thristy you need to take on the food/drink as it takes time to get into your system.

Also what people also forget is that when you get thirsty it's probably to late to hydrate for the rest of your round. In warm weather it's important to be hydrating from the day before if going out in the sun for long periods the next day.

2-3 litres of water a day is what they say.

There is no point in throwing a 2 litre bottle of water into your golf bag and starting to drink it on the course. It's too late.
