This year again, American Golf are organising free events throughout the UK. Sadly I won’t be able to compete in the Ladies’ championship again as there are no regional competitions in the South (does Slough count as South?) However, I highly recommend entering it if you’re near Pontnewydd Golf Club, Hexham Golf Club, Peebles Golf Club, Roganstown Golf & Country Club, Didsbury Golf Club and Wexham Park Golf Centre. Indeed, qualification at these regional competitions earns you a great prize and two nights all expenses paid at The Belfry to compete in the national final. What I liked best about the whole thing? The professional photographers. They will take photos where you look like a proper golfer, even when you’re playing your most abject golf. I know from experience.

Having a nightmare round, but looking good and that’s the main thing

Another American Golf event I’m interested in is the Golf Show at the Excel Arena in London. I have no idea what to expect, but it involves a train journey and it’s about golf, so I’ll probably love it.
