Maxfli A10 balls

The chance to win a dozen of the rare Maxfli A10 balls attracted many entries for our holiday tips competition.

While many opted for overseas destinations others decided that there’s no place like home for a golf break.

"St Enodoc in Cornwall is the place," said one. "All that's best in golf. Morning on the short course, lunch in jovial Cornish company, afternoon on a belter of a championship course on land 'borrowed' from Mother Nature.

"Sunny, wet, windy or plain freezing, it just never seems to matter. You're lucky to be alive and a golfer," he said.

Meanwhile another winner told us concisely why Florida was such a hit: "We paid £12 to £20 in October for the best courses I have ever played, including buggy and GPS navigation. Absolutely fabulous."

Other suggestions included Western Australia, Marbella, Majorca, Southern Ireland and Belgium.

But one entry summed up perhaps the best tip for golfing nomads: "Whatever you do, where ever you go, whether down the road or over the sea, be sure you are in the company of friends or loved ones. That way, you can’t go wrong."

Winners were: Chris Donnelly, Alistair MacDonald, Tony Atkinson, Nick Plumb, David Ellis, Graham Halling, Julian Curren, David Groom, Owen Joubert and Alan Taylor.

*The editor apologises that the closing date had to be brought forward by three days, to ensure prizes reached their destination by Christmas.

Yes, I'd promised my little urchins that we would spend Christmas Day roasting chestnuts and watching the Tiger DVD's. Imagine their little faces, wracked with disappointment, tears running down their chocolate smeared faces.

"Don't worry" I've assured them "Uncle Bob won't let us down".....

I went on to Betfair last week to place a bet on Big Al winning a box of A10's. But the book had been closed - something about irregular betting patterns...??

Maybe Bob was persuaded? You know, wake up to find the head of your favourite driver on the pillow....

Maybe Al managed to get some compromising photo's with Lionel or even BM after his panto performance ;-)

I am sure that the independent enquiry consisting of Golluff, lionel, King Arthur and David Blunkett will get to the bottom of this terrible scandal.

If I'd have won,Big Al was gonna get mine.

Sherlock homes should be called in to solve: The case of the malodorous maxfli's.

Now nearly extinct in Europe. Nay the entire globe. Each small white globe worth a kings ransome in jewels....

"The games afoot Watson" spouted Holmes. thereby informing his colleage in golficide that they were at the start of yet another crooked caper in the correction of crime in the clubhouse. The next moment I was being forceibly dragged down the stairs of 221b Baker Street, out into a dank foggy night and into a waiting brougham.

Little did I suspect then, that before the sun rose on a new dawn, that Holmes and I would have smashed open the most nefarious cabal of golf ball crime since The Prince regent was found out smearing his baffing iron with goose grease, to better the flight of his gutta percha. Nay! even more terrible than that.

Professor "Bob" Moriarty, had a fiendish plot to cause civil war to break out in the worlds premier golf forum. Whilst the worlds press would look on in facinated horror, as those doyen's and pacesetters of the golf forum world tore each other appart over the ownership of the worlds greatest golf balls. He would use the distraction to enforce a coup d'etat and fullfill his lifelong dream of captaining the ryder cup team.

But thats another story..Tune in next sunday, Ovaltini's

Big Fat Al should get himself along to weight watchers before he has a heart attack.

I went to the kids Christmas school fayre last night and you wouldn't believe that sitting there was an old tatty box with 12 sparkling new original A10's and what was even better is that they were only £1 for the 12. Fantastic. I took them home and with a bit of enginuity,tacks,gold thread and some gold,silver,red and white paint I ended up with 12 beautiful baubles for the Christmas tree.

Kev you could have at least wrapped them in silver paper and let the kids believe the were choccies (for adults only though)

If I'd have won they'd have gone to Al aswell. Couldn't stand the A10's in comparison to the Revolution.
