Thank you for your kind words. As I indicated its "my" judgement on how welcome the "club" makes me feel not to be reflected on the individual staff. You may think £2.00 is not expensive so tell me what is too expensive? Having worked in the hospitality industry prices were set on either how...

Golf is a game of integrity your notes make ne think your club lacks that. My home club does limit winning of prizes to having produced a number of cards within a reasonable time frame as you indicate in 2. We also have for every competition potential differing rules which state all that you...

WHS is wonderful and Dean Knuth is to be thanked for it's design, providing those to whom it applies play the game with the integrity it deserves. The introduction of the WHS gave me reason to look in to how par's are made and the function of stroke index's. This is due to having a WHS hcp, a...

How do you judge the welcome being offered by your club? I'm a member of a "members club" the reception is always with a smile and the staff are very polite I'd say that is to be expected and can think of no reason for it to be otherwise. One thing I hate is being ripped off or even feeling I'm...

The stroke index was introduced to ensure an even distribution of shots in Match Play. This Index was designed that by dividing front and back 9's and whichever 9 was the most difficult was given the odd numbered index the other given the evens. There after no mention of difficulty in Match...

I'm looking for suggestions for a suitable drinking vessel should someone be "fortunate" enough to have a hole in one. The vessel will be kept in view in the clubhouse so nothing rude.

After playing a course, months later the more holes you remember for positive reasons the better the course. Fraserburgh Corbie Hill is fantastic, each hole has something special though the 1st and 18th do lack features. My favourite hole in the whole world is the par3 7th to get there comes the...

Been there and reinvented the horse cycle.

I do worry as there will be a sudden glut of old balls with a need to replace them on a certain date. Been told 1.2 billion balls per year not gradually phased out like plastic tees just suddenly out of spec.

If only there was a way to charge visitors the same fee as their home club charges their visitors. OR Set a green fee rate as a % of the membership fee.

Clubs stating "visitors welcome" then charging waaay to much for everything including a cup of tea.

Now been announced that new balls that do not travel so far are to be introduced. I hope the manufacturers will ensure they are biodegradable, have all the information on one half and a round spot the size of one dimple in the centre of the other half. The purpose of the spot being to point...

Where permitted a tee should always be used this will help a good connection with the ball and reduce damage to the course. For someone of the status of Dame Laura Davis to act in a poor manor that may encourage others to copy and potentially damage the course should demand action from the...

It's for each individual to decide if their membership fee is value for money. This should be decided before payment is made as afterwards will create the horrible feeling of having been ripped off and a terrible taste in the mouth. What pisses me off is having taken membership the price then...

Hmmm! Hedgehog wheels should be defined as a profit enhancement scheme.
