Mothers of Invention

Yesterdy we were down at the Sussex Golf College, which is based at Lindfield Golf Course, for the which a big thanks to Paul Lyons who runs the show there. We set up our studio for the show we are now recording in their up-stairs driving range area, and I have to say it worked a treat. A little bit parky, but that kept us all on our toes and helped keep the pace going. Necessity is certainly the mother of invention, as Frank Zappa would testify. A bit of creativity, and viola a fantastic golf studio.

So this weekend we'll start the editing, and by sometime mid next week there will be programme number two from the ShowMeTheGolf.TV team. We are thinking of inviting Jonathan Ross down for the next show, as it looks like he'll be needing some broadcasting work. Won't be asking that Brand fellow though, as he'd never focus on the golf, and would spend all his time trying to seduce our wonderful Sophie Horn. Over my dead body. Or to misquote Charlton Heston, 'from my dead, cold hand.' He was talking about guns I think rather than women, but I was reminded of the saying after a conversation with Our Man in the US, Jay Townsend. Not only a great golfer, but a fine shot as well. And heavily armed when back in the US. If attacked likely to come at you with a 9 iron and a 44. You have been warned.
