Clubhouse

Arguments at the 19th hole usually revolve around errors on scorecards or balls being lost in the rough. But at Middleton Hall Golf Club, the source of controversy is the ongoing saga over the clubhouse itself - or at least a huge, £380,000 marquee erected as an extension of the facilities. The vast 30m by 10m tent was built to host functions at the club, near King's Lynn. But ever since it was erected, it has driven a wedge between the club and its neighbours who have complained about noise from the site and say the tent is ugly. Their complaints teed off an almighty planning row. Now, in the latest twist, the club's owner has launched an appeal after planning permission was turned down for a second time. The tent was originally intended to host functions, but six neighbours complained to West Norfolk Council about the noise from the events held there. One said the marquee had caused "stress and health issues" and had "been a constant annoyance".  » Read More

Very rarely does a chance like this come along. All you need is a passport, a love of golf and a boatload of cash. Spofforth Golf Course and Manor Farm in North Yorkshire are up for sale for over $2.5 million (around £2 million), which doesn’t just feature a four-bedroom bungalow but also a 6,176-yard par 72 course, six-bay driving range and clubhouse, all located on an “undulating and part-wooded property” on 130 northern England acres. “While Spofforth Golf Course’s potential for commercialisation is obvious, this attractive property will undoubtedly also appeal to buyers seeking a rural, ring-fenced property for residential, amenity or other uses,” said Ben Allen of HMH Golf & Leisure. “HMH currently has 11 golf courses under offer at various locations around the country and, as always, expect strong interest in Spofforth Golf Course.” The course will have its 30th birthday next year, so this is a great time to buy in right before the big ceremony. Originally a family farm, Spofforth Golf Club features a greenkeeping complex and car park with a four-bedroom abode that includes tremendous views,  » Read More

On August 2nd, Tencent is internally developing a social app called “M8”, created by the QQ team. It is positioned as a map-based virtual social product, targeting young people in the social networking field. This product may begin external testing in August. This is Tencent‘s heavyweight social product developed again after a two-year hiatus. Between 2019 and 2021, Tencent tried nearly 10 social products in various fields, but none of them grew successfully. Since then, Tencent has not independently launched any social products until the creation of this new social app called “M8”. In the past two years, while Tencent‘s social media platform has been relatively quiet, there have been tremendous changes in the domestic social product landscape. The focus of social interaction has gradually shifted from traditional social media to new forms centered around AI and metaverse. As the dominant social media giant in China, Tencent will certainly not miss out on the social changes brought about by this wave of technological innovation.  » Read More

A year ago the Padres put together arguably the most incredible series of deals ever seen at the MLB trade deadline, bringing in superstars like Juan Soto and Josh Hader. This year they did not do that. They didn't need to. They already have plenty of All-Stars. This team doesn't have a talent problem. It has a chemistry problem. So, they addressed that by adding two of the most well-respected "glue guys" in the game. San Diego acquired LHP Rich Hill and 1B/DH Ji Man Choi from the Pirates for a trio of prospects: LHP Jackson Wolf, IF Alfonso Rivas, and OF Estuar Suero. None of them are ranked in the top 15 prospects in the San Diego system. Hill is 43 years old, in his 19th big league season, and about to play for his 13th MLB team (only fellow pitcher and temporary Padre Edwin Jackson has played for more, with 14). He's earned the reputation as one of the game's great competitors and, while he's not going to light up the radar gun or throw a no-hitter,  » Read More
