Favourite moments

Back to back birdie-gate

Bish's face when I got a birdie after a total thin and lucky putt on the 18th to take the points 😂

Hard to choose as each year has been brilliant. Perhaps Karius and Gareth Bale moments in the Antelope is the top one.

Watching Chen chip in with a 5 wood when we were all crowded around the green at Nefyn

Waller bunker gate

Jon emptying a pub with a fart

The whole 2019 trip, where the golf was secondary to the holiday (controversial I know). We left Menai to it's little quaint bank holiday fishing festival, and when we got back from Henllys at about 5pm, the town was packed, you could barely get into the hotel for people queuing at the bar, and the locals were taking shots in their eyeballs.

Chen's 5 wood off the green for him and Waller to win (or maybe tie) the scramble on the old course at Nefyn whilst we were all gathered around the green. I think there was only one or maybe 2 shots between all the groups.

Grant ripping off his shoes on the 10th at Bull Bay, playing in his socks and storming the last 8 holes.

On the very same hole, Grant and Jon were dancing when Grant monstered a birdie putt and telling me and Nick that they were 5 up after 10. Halving that game with Nick was not just my favourite personal Anglesey moment that I was involved in, but will be my all-time favourite entire personal golf moment. Watching the atmosphere change hole by hole on the back 9 was the perfect microcosm for golf, sport, and life. In terms of the golf, it was a meaningless half point when we were getting battered in the team event anyway. But it meant a whole lot more and I genuinely rate this higher than winning it.

Waller in the bunker. I was in the group behind and didn't witness it personally, but the legacy very much lives on!

Grant driving the buggy

Bish's meltdown in 2019 on the last day and Grant laughing at him while it happened.

There was no hole / the cut.

Least favourite moments

When I hit the only good drive down the fairway at Bull Bay, only to find out it hit a boulder in the fairway and it was lost. With every other golfer topping one off the tee and being in play.

Playing the afternoon 18 at Royal Saint Davids in wet clothes

I once had a good back 9 after a very average front 9. The golf 'companions' of mine all (every single one of them) colluded to decide that my handicap should be cut for the remaining 3 days. The betrayal hurt more than the poor three days of golf that followed it. I've not been the same since.

When the hail started whilst I was in the form of my life at Royal St Davids.

Food at the pub over the bridge

Watching Coddy nearly kill a child with a golf drive.

When I get to hell, it will be playing at Conwy golf course, with those sodding medals jangling around my neck in the Welsh gale. Both times we played that nightmare of a course I had to wear them!

Grant driving the buggy

Every round at Henllys

Funniest moments

Mark’s under the influence tee shot on the first at Henllys

Mark when he realised I was being serious about the castle

Grant abstaining from the vote after a long drawn out debate in the beer garden.

Mark’s handicap cut at Henllys

Back to back birdie gate

Conlin going out of bounds twice to the left at the 1st on Henllys and giggling like a schoolgirl

Last year at Linden Hall, when the scramble hit the buggy with the first tee shot and ended up taking that shot.

Super Breakaway Group - I don't think I laughed so hard in one night when we devised the rival tour just to play scrambles.

Grant driving the buggy
