    Submitting scores on a Captain's Away Day

    Yep. It’s a shame though. I will play differently according to whether it’s a qualifier or not. If it isn’t a qualifier then I won,t be trying to get the best score I can. For various reasons probably - I’ll switch a couple of clubs, try shaping more shots than usual, maybe a flop shot that...

    Protective fence/netting

    Thanks for the replies. That's pretty much as I suspected - people quoted a couple of other courses nearby that have this replay local rule. Seems it is quite common - but not really the correct thing to do. Not sure what to do - think I'll wait until can see exactly how tight it is.

So much so that we have been able to limit full fee increases in the last 2 years to c. 6% (over the 2 years). So whilst the difference is...

    Competition Qualifying Cards

    Might not be easier, but might be more likely. That seems to be the thought by the authorities for manipulating low handicaps - why not for high?

    Buggies - Club or Pro

    Pretty sure we rent/lease ours - no capital outlay.

    LIV Golf

    I can’t see the team equity thing being much of an incentive for many. Building a brand would involve significant effort- chasing sponsors, media, bigging up the Cleeks or whatever. Doesn’t really seem like Rahm’s type of thing.

    WHS - current GM article

    Yes - many of those type are society type golf where often get 100%. See post #269 - do you have an idea of the field size where 90% makes more sense?
