Really?

Can everyone stop talking about Spurs, and how bad they are? Its a sure fire thing that will prompt them to play out of their skin when they play us in a week or so. Please, please, please save your opprobrium for a couple more weeks ... :)

Random irritation - the damn postbox at the end of our street. The most useless pillarbox in the world. The slot is not big enough to take even a very modestly sized card or letter. (if it's bigger than a second class stamp, it doesn't fit ...)

To qualfy to play in the club's 'Seniors' comps (ie age restricted comps), it is 60 at our place. One can play in county seniors comps at age 55. But, it is only an age restriction at ours - there's no age related discount & you pay the same as everyone else. (In fact, you actually pay more...

Ok. However, given it was written by Springsteen and Patti Smith , then Springsteen didnt have a clue, and Patti Smith knocked the spots off it ...

On the back of this thread, I've been listening to a playlist called "100 Best Covers of all Time" on Spotify. My gawd, there are some awful versions on it ... (Because the Night - Bruce Springsteen, and Perfect Day - Duran Duran stand out in this respect). But a few gems also ( Pround Mary...

Which, I think, was what I said in post #3 ? (Albeit I didn’t quote the rule/clarification)

In which case I'd suggest (and, only suggest) that it was a hole made by a greenkeeper in the care of the course. (Although for what reason I can't guess). So, it seems to me you were likely to get free drop as it would be ground under repair (and not need to be marked)

Perhaps the OP can provide more detail? But given he stressed the word 'exactly', I suppose he was indicating it was small, round & neat - ie like a hole on the green. In which case, I think one can easily assume it was still not made by an animal.

I think if it was "... exactly the same shape and size as a hole on the green ..." then I think you can discount that possibility?

Short answer is ... it depends. If it was a hole made by the greenkeepers whilst they were looking after the course, then it counts as ground under repair and you get free relief under 16.1. But if it wasnt made under those circumstances, then you'd have to declare it unplayable and take relief...
