    Forgot how good a word 'Bollox' really is. From now on Bollox is gonna be my prefered word of choice.

    BTW played Bull Bay in the howling wind yesterday, I love that course it is 'the dogs bollox'.

    I did however drop a huge bollock on the 1st par 5 of the back 9 after hitting left of the green in two I thinned a sw right across the green into the gorse on the other side which led to my 1st blob of the day.

    I don't know how you guys manage to play in the wind like that all the time. The back 9 was a constant wind maybe 3-4 clubs worth. It stopped for about a second at one stange I nearly fell over & thought I had gone deaf. After slugging around in that I was truly bolloxed last night when i got home.

    What a great word.


    EDIT: Great 1st Pro round for Mr McIlroy, I hope he lives up to the expectations that many have of him.

    Lol at the translations and where this thread has gone

    McIllroy shot 78 today to make the cut. Apparently the weather was absolute bollocks, right enough....! :laugh:

    I am only going by various sports pages, including the bbc's, Dave :rolleyes:

    Sure Poulter was absolutely furious that they didn't suspend the play (yes, they suspended it !) 20 minutes prior to when they did. Whoever scored 66 may well have missed the bollocks weather...:rolleyes:

    McIllroy has only turned 18 4 months ago, remember..

    Aye, he's no oil painting. I would sacrifice having less than good looks for his millions, right enough.

    Wild Cat: "The Wee Bollocks" would have been appropriate there :laugh:

    Spot on Luck Wee Bollox.

    So has he been playing Titleist gear for a while or does he get a transition period to switch over to a certain amount of Titty gear? Or was it turn pro Monday new bag with new clubs Tuesday, practice round Wednesday and 1st comp Thursday-Sunday?
