I remember hating Fosters but liking Fosters Export. I think that was beefed up to around 5% or around there. Same thing for me with Heineken; the Export version was miles better. I don’t like either Heineken or Stella and they’re supposed to be premium lagers, my personal like is Real Ales or Beer no chemicals or a nice Spiced Rum like Kraken. I'm a huge rum lover too. Last time I went to the doctor's for tests, they found blood in my rumstream. |

My local where I used to live in Durham used to do a very nice stout Apart from in Dublin, the best Guinness I have ever had was at a pub a few hundred yards from the York Hall, Bethnal Green in London. I went there mainly to watch the Mosconi Cup 9ball event but also to find out more about how to get into the game at pro level. I'm pretty sure it was 1998.
Anyhoo, I got there way too early and decided to find a pub in which to pass the time. Long story short, I had the best Guinness I had ever had at that point. What made it all even more special was spending two hours with the legendary commentator Sid Waddell. We chatted about all sorts, had six to eight pints each, and I eventually had to virtually push his wobbly *rse out the door and in the direction of the York Hall so he'd be on time for the start of the session  Rest in peace, Sid. You're still missed by many. |

You're still missed by many. I played a lot of darts and pool/snooker in my youth neither at a very high level but a good county standard. Golf was my main sport then 3 handicap golfer and played county golf. Would have been great talking to Sid I bet, my main claim to fame was while I was cycling. I was in the GB Paralympic squad for a few years in the late 90’s early 2000’s I was competing at a World track championships in Manchester. Sat in a group that contained Sir Chris Hoy, Sir Bradley Wiggins, Chris Boardman, the great Eddy Merckx, Mark Cavendish. Someone actually asked me for an autograph 😂 |

No idea if this is a coincidence or whether it might help you with the stuttering, but I thought I'd share my experience today.
Because Sky Go was badly stuttering on my second monitor while I was gaming on my main monitor, I spent quite some time researching what the issue was. Turns out my streaming issue is a very common one with Nvidia cards. One solution was to drop my 144hz main monitor down to 60hz to match the second monitor. Even though that worked, I didn't want to do it as it really wasn't the ideal solution.
What solved my streaming problem -- and also, it seems, fixed the golf stuttering -- was disabling hardware acceleration in graphics settings. I've kept a close eye on temperature issues, but there's not been any real impact on CPU temps at all. The game is playing way smoother than it was yesterday for me.
Now, it might just be a coincidence and the servers are behaving themselves this afternoon, but maybe it's something you could try if you're still having issues.
Of course, now that I've posted this, it will all probably go Pete Tong again |

If your system is old, it might be worth using a program like MSI Afterburner just to make sure your temps aren't going up too much. Disabling hardware acceleration can sometimes put a little extra stress on your CPU. |

Rest in peace, Sid. You're still missed by many.
