Somebody asked me the other day, if voice dictation software works, and I answered them by saying that although I do not use it extensively, and I have probably trained my system only for about 7 or 8 hours, that I generally dictated these blogs.  The system does make a few mistakes, but it's not many and there is also time in the day when your fingers get tired of typing!

One of my rare visits to a golf course recently convinced me that the only reason that many of them are not being sued more regularly is because we do not live in a litigious society.  I played at the Killarney golf course with a well-known attorney in the fourball in front of me, and with a Rosebank colleague playing with me.  At one of the holes that runs alongside the highway, where I would assume it's fairly predictable that a number of balls get hit into the highway every day, our Rosebank colleague smashed one straight into the M1 South highway.  It's not that he's a bad player, from what I could see, the attorney in front of us was far worse but when only a 15° or so deviation is going to result in the ball going into the highway and potentially ruining somebody's life with the obvious chance that may lead to an accident, it amazed me, that there aren't high fences alongside the highway.  In any event, it's a case in the making, and if you asked me, it's entirely foreseeable that this type of thing could happen and in the circumstances that golf clubs will be held to be negligent in not designing courses appropriately, or taking the necessary steps to avoid such a catastrophe.
