IN THE PINK
09-12-2009 14:30
A couple of weeks ago I was wandering around the NEC Golf Show with one word written in permanent marker on my hand.
The word was "pink" (although it was written in black) and was a reminder that I had accepted an invitation (dress code: "anything pink") to the launch party for the website of Ladies European Tour player Breanne Loucks.
I was once told (I don't know who by, but it sounds suspic...

I've been watching the latest series of I'm a Celebrity this week, the jungle-based reality television show that makes, ruins or re-invigorates the careers of celebrities.
The programme has been successfully franchised right across the world and sports stars have quite a knack of doing well in it.
American decathlete Bruce Jenner, Hungarian Olympic gold medal winning swimmer Attila Czene and...

DUNHILL SUNDAY NOTEBOOK
04-10-2009 16:32
False start on Saturday
First thing yesterday I travelled south for Kingsbarns, joining a long line of cars heading towards the sea.
There was blue sky, a bright sun and as we passed the Castle course everything looked set for a great day of golf.
It all went wrong as we turned into Kingsbarns and noticed a long queue of cars going in the opposite direction: play had been cancelled...

Dunhill Thursday Notebook
Old Course atmosphere
I arrived in St Andrews at about five o'clock yesterday afternoon and the town and Old Course were looking magnificent in the autumn sunshine.
Soon after I arrived, Dunhill held a Media Welcome dinner in a marquee behind the 17th green and a couple of friends urged me to join them - I did so a little bit reluctantly given that I was d...

COOPER'S KAZAKH CAPERS PT.4
23-09-2009 08:33
Horses for courses
On Saturday night I was a little tired of restaurant food so headed to the local supermarket for something to eat and the first surprise was the look of the place - it was extraordinary, almost resembling a spaceship parked in the middle of a city boulevard (almost all of the roads in Almaty are tree-lined).
Inside it was rather less futuristic and the food was t...

The continuing adventures of Matt Cooper in Kazakhstan:
Lost ball
Earlier in the week Ruben and I noticed three players and their caddies looking for a lost ball to the right of the par-five sixth hole. We made our way over to help out and immediately saw it hiding away in a place beneath a new tree that the players and caddies would never have seen.
The ball belonged to Si...

Kazakhstan Open Pro-am
I was feeling a bit wobbly as I arrived at Zhailjau for the Pro-am after a long night that involved turning one quick beer into quite a lot of long ones, plus a couple of brandies courtesy of some new Kazakh friends we made at the bar.
I had quite a few things to organise too - not least the acquisition of some clubs to play with (given that mine are, hopefully...
