Thanks all for the explanation, much appreciated ... and I will go an look at that rule 17.1 .. I was not aware what rule it would have been under

Been googling around, and have found lots of articles explaining the 1-drop penalty rule after going into red staked areas, but what happens if that is off the tee? I know if you hit first shot into red area, and you hit a provisional you are then playing 3 off the tee (with that ball in play)...

This was the card:

Ok, so in my case for the screenshot I provided .. I was playing off a HCP index of 24.4 (for that round) .. but I played to a HCP level of 21.9 (therefore under HCP)?

Thanks both, it looks like the score, is the score differential, which again might need a lesson on that ... I presume is the difference between my score .. say, I went round in 90, and what the course rating is .. say 72 PAR, the score differential would be 22 .... Or have I got that completely...

I have started to register my rounds with the app for the World Handicap Golf System, that I need to use (Wales Golf App), however, I am slightly confused by the graph that they are presenting. I kinda get what the green line is, however, do not understand the other line and how they relate to...

£26 ... I bought two boxes last night for £20

I use the V300 myself, and in most conditions I find they are fine, sometimes may not grip/spin as much on the greens, however, when the greens are damp or at least not burnt out from summer dryness, I do find that they stop quick enough. I use the V300, as a 24 HCP, like others have said .. I...

Suppose the difference for me .. is that even in height of summer, I am still going to be restricted to a game a week

That's really helpful. The points look quite reasonable then ... if playing after 5pm each week, that's 26 games of golf (at home course) ... keeping in mind I think Tredegar park membership is £700 per year .... and PMG is £350 (I think)

Are you bothered about competition golf? Not really .. might join 1 or 2 a year, although believe the option might also be there to join further comps with PlayMoreGolf What days/times are you looking to play? Last year, tended to play on a Wednesday evening, after 4.30-5.00, then an occasional...

So, I am thinking from April joining the PlayMoreGolf system. The course that I currently belong to, is listed, and due to the amount of times I am able to play (once a week), this seems like a good option, cost-wise, bearing in mind, I do not play that much in the winter However, just want a...

I would def look at the ball that you are using. I did a test the other week with a 56 degree wedge and a number of balls, as I was trying to figure out which one was best for me. As you can see from the table below, there is quite a bit of difference in distance, then factor in different...

Should I mention you when I am there next. Yeah Julian, really nice guy ... and he is trying to expand (not size wise) the course, new clubhouse and a plan on what to do with the course .... :-)

Ended up joining Llanwern Golf Club .. lovely course with some challenging holes, wanted something that was not as flat as Peterstone
