Discovered this afternoon that Tim's playing in the Dunhill Links Championship again this year, partnering Colin Montgomerie. Sky Sports are covering it and have shown him a few times so far. Looking as trim as ever, and now playing off scratch!!

Linda, like you a duffer when it comes to golf, but I think "scatch" means Tim has no handicap:-). Quite an achievement! And thanks Jean, I'll tune to Sky Sports tomorrow. - By Liz October 1, 2009 at 07:17:12 PM
- I did of course mean "scratch"! - By Liz October 1, 2009 at 07:18:22 PM
Don't know what playing off scratch means, but presume it's an achievement! I'll look forward to having a look in at Tim playing golf. - By Linda October 1, 2009 at 05:30:18 PM
- Liz is right, "scratch" means he's pretty darn good at it now! Not sure if we'll see much more of him though - depends if they're covering the other 2 courses or staying at Carnoustie, where the main coverage was today. Might be worth trying to catch the highlights programme tonight though - I think it's on a couple of times. Link inside to the tournament website if you want to check on progress! - By Jean October 1, 2009 at 08:31:24 PM
  - And another link to the so called "live" scoreboard ... - By Jean October 1, 2009 at 08:36:39 PM

    - Sorry, ignore this 2nd one - wrong link! Sadly Monty let the side down today, with a +1 score, while Tim was -6, trying to keep the team in contention ... - By Jean October 1, 2009 at 08:40:35 PM
      - Take it the Monty-Tim team failed to keep going since I can't find either names on the various Dunhill site lists - or have I just missed them? - By Liz October 5, 2009 at 07:07:10 AM
        You had to scroll down quite a way to find Monty - which means they missed the cut for today's delayed final round. Tim did well, but not well enough to make up for Monty's poor form, sadly ... - By Jean October 5, 2009 at 09:02:26 AM
        Wot about Chris Evert and Greg Norman! I didn't see that one coming! .. but then two massive egos together is probably going to cause problems. - By Linda October 5, 2009 at 09:33:01 PM
        Yes, bit of a surprise, wasn't it?! Link inside to a report from Matthew Pinsett on the golf - thanks to Liz for pointing this one out to me! - By Jean October 6, 2009 at 08:01:25 AM
