Knockout finals. Semi final 4 down, 5 to play; won on 18. Final 4 down, 6 to play; won on 20th. First time I was up in the match.

Gimmes have a place in matchplay only. By all means takes gimmes in your game just don't kid yourself that you're playing golf.

Sometimes par 3s are made longer as a way to increase the yardage of the course. My place is 32 yards under 6000 yards and the 5 par 3s we have are: 3rd hole 196 or 191 depending on tee box used 6th hole 212 12th hole 216 14th hole 184 15th hole 197 Off the daily tees they average 14 yards...

Country Club of the Poconos, par 70, average score 83 from 48 qualifying rounds

Used to wear one all the time over every shot. Then got into a tour pro wannabe stage and took it off between shots and left it off for short game and putting. Then for some reason it bothered and irritated me during one round so I stopped wearing it. Bit rough to start with as I had corded...

Speak for yourself Foxholer, I can get the ball rolling end over end when putting. Might not be rolling in the right direction but I can put a good roll on it. Anyway, not all good putts go in and not all bad putts miss. If it goes in the hole then what does it really matter.

Mark_G, had something similar yesterday as I played through by a group of guys I knew. One guy stood very close to the landing zone on the left hand side of the fairway while the others waited 20 yards or so further left. This really affected me and I ended up with a push to the right as I...

Once played the par 4 seventh via the eighth. It was a dog leg left that has a stream running along the angle of the dog leg. The play from the tee is either straight up and then play across the stream or have a pop off the tee to go over the angle and stream. I went for it but pulled the tee...

Course it has D, but what's not in dispute was that it was missable and generous.

GinD Nicklaus conceded a 5 footer to Jacklin in the last match that meant the overall result was a tie. Nicklaus said "I knew you would make it but did not want to give you the opportunity to miss" or something like that.

Don't matter who you are D4S, you don't perform as expected you get booed or worse. Opening pitches at baseball games are the same. They're usually thrown by some ceremonial figure, even Presidents have been booed for crap throws. Edit. Presidents maybe booed for their politics or policies but...

It was a typical NY crowd really. You have to perform otherwise they give you a hard time. Garcia was getting a much better reception than when he was there in 2002. That year he was in the midst of his nervous and twitchy phase, regripping and waggling the club. He got heckled really badly with...

Then your friends have to face the reality that you're one of those annoying gits that has great natural ability. They also have to accept that, despite their supposed hard work, they're just not suited to golf and so really should take up tennis or badminton instead.

Haven't played it very often Doon but enjoyed it. Last time out we were partnered against two older teenagers who banged the ball a mile. My partner holed the second shot on 16 to win the match. They weren't impressed.
