No Health Care - Unless it can be afforded (gets rid of poorer people, the ones that cause the trouble) No Higher Education - unless fees can be afforded up front ( Keeps all top jobs in the correct hands) Reduce All Benefits - We are all in this together (gets rid of poorer people, we did not...

Don't be too concerned. Big Brother can trace every call you make and your location if they need to, so it is not as easy for the bombers as you infer. I would hazard a guess that bomb phones are bought in a pub car park well away from any shop CCTV. Now buying ice??? That could be used for...

Just had a wee look at HDID and their average competitive score, comparing 21,315,797 rounds, is 91.49. Not knowing the average CSS but assuming 70 .. this would make the average handicap somewhat higher than that shown in our poll.

I would imagine that HDID could offer a very close figure for the UK at the push of button! With the number of UK clubs and score returns they have to hand, they could possibly provide a very accurate figure. The handicaps on here however must be so much lower than the average. The 300 yard...

Feel, to me, is when I hit the ball with all my 'bits' in sync - the ball comes off the face with no effort and also feels as if it is on the face for longer allowing an appreciation of this 'feel'. It, the ball, then does as you saw in your minds eye as you set up for the shot, although due to...

Patrick, not if the Brahan Seer catches you on the landing area of the 17th!

Wind ... Sporty .. Happy Rain ... So What ... I'm a Scot Wind and Rain ... Not a Happy Bunny at all!

I was about to say that with your handicap there should be few wayward shots requiring time spent searching, fewer shots hit and fewer shots on the putting greens - all saving a lot of time for your group BUT one of my playing pals, off 4ish, is the slowest we play with! The areas mentioned...

I have been fortunate to play many 'top' golf courses and have never, to my knowledge, experienced outright snobbery. I would suggest that golf is a bonding element and many golf club members, in another situation, could very well be 'snobby' but this game levels all of us! I can offer...

Mr Blinkered - Normally lower handicapper, walks down the fairway after his tee shot and then cuts across your bows as HIS ball is on your side of the fairway (just as well the old shoe spikes are working well today!). Changes clubs, in his bag, as you are about to play. Walks between you and...

Yes, by 5 foot nothing Ian Black! Wait until our man mountain, Ross Tokley, meets him on the park. Right now, like you, he could be excused for not knowing that Rossco plays for Inverness Caley Thistle but I bet he will remember him long after he forgets wee Ian, if he does any of his horrible...

I find it strange Homer that you would consider playing, dressed as a chavy hacker, Carnousie or St Andrews! I find that disrespectful for the traditions of the game.

I can remember when we all started playing golf, possibly inside our first year and one person was hit on the head and suffered concussion but had long term problems as it created a degree of sight loss in one eye. This problem then created a failure at a medical for a very good position and...

The orange jacket helped the swing!!

Following the tee off at the first and this in itself can create a wee headache - we go off the first dictated by handicap, lowest first - if A then has the highest gross score he goes last and B tees off first then C then A. The OP method of retaining the player with the worst score teeing off...
