Golf ing in the dark at 12.01am A golf club in Derbyshire said the demand for its venue was so strong that it opened as
soon as it was allowed on March 29 - at one minute past midnight.
Most English golf clubs reopened when daylight started, but Morley Hayes Golf Club chose to reopen with a late-night charity tournament.
The venue’s Tower Course has fl oodlights, which light up seven of its holes.
Seven teams of four players took part in the tournament, which had a shotgun start - with all teams teeing off from a diff erent hole at the same time.
A silent fl are was let off at 12.01am to mark the start and golfers played with special balls that lit up as soon as they are hit.
All proceeds from the tournament will be donated to the Nottingham Breast Cancer Research Centre. Strict safety measures are in place at the golf complex.
Apparently, he’s the best worker they have at Drayton Park Golf Club!
Bizarre email error
Bayern Munich forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will not appear for Cameroon during the international break due to a remarkable email mix-up.
Whilst trying to call up one of their most important players, ahead of two Africa Cup of Nations qualifi ers, the Cameroonian Football Federation fi red out an email call- up. Except, according to a report in Bild, they accidentally sent the email to themselves.
So, the email never reached Choupo-Moting and, subsequently, the player was not offi cially called up to the Cameroon squad. Apparently all because of an email error.
As seen on social media ...
Frankly, accidentally emailing ourselves is a not unheard of admin mistake. But it’s probably best to check the ‘send’ address twice when you’re trying to put together a squad of international footballers.
Unused refuge for brent geese taken down
A fenced-off area of coastal space has been returned to public use after geese snubbed it as a potential refuge.
Castle Field in Southsea was set up as a sanctuary for brent geese in October with decoy birds and devices giving off goose calls to entice them in.
But, the geese spurned the site in favour of a nearby pitch-and-putt golf course and Portsmouth Cricket Club. The space was put in place to off set the use of Clarence Playing Field during ongoing sea defence works.

The council was required by Natural England to make the alternative provision for the birds, which arrive in large fl ocks from Siberia in early October.
Goal line technology might struggle a little with this pitch in Romania.
The not so serious side of the industry
