Perhaps I'm being dim, but why was that a costly shot? Presumably your oppo' asked you to play it again from the whites - did you lash it OB or something?

I have to wear my lucky hat - but I must not decide which one it's going to be until I get to the course.

The format of the show might be rubbish -has been for years and youcan blame the BBC for that. And it's never been about "personality". But you can't blame them for the result - they didn't pick the contenders, and they didn't pick the winner. And in any case Cavendish was a worthy winner - his...

It was thinking about new courses that reminded of this. When we were at Damme (Belgium) we were just at the first tee - 8 of us - wafting the drivers, and warming up - as you do. When three guy came jogging across, small bags, with half a dozen clubs each. Mind if we go through they say - we'd...

West Malling - Spitfire West Malling - Hurricane Edzell Scotscraig Crail Downfield Panmuir Murrayshall - Lynedoch (damn silly course) Dunkerque (France) Oostburg (Holland) Damme (Belgium) Not as many as usual, since on "the Scottish trip" this year we re-visited a couple of old haunts, and have...

It's artificial therefore an obstruction, If considered immovable then there's relief. If considered moveable then when its moved, there's a hole made by a greenkeeper - and so relief. Ergo, in equity - relief. No local rule required.

For airline travel, cut a length of broomstick to shove in the bag, cut just a bit longer than your driver. just in case your bag come down head-first on the baggage carousel. Some place they come down with a fairly hefty thump.

In response to original point - your perspective will seem out of kilter for a short while after the swap from bins to lenses - but it won't last long and all will seem fine quiclkly. As to all the wooses who go " I can't wear them cos my eyes are too bad..." Mine are +4.5 and +8.5 - with...

Why pick the "big names" who would neither know who you are nor care? I'd pick Brora with my mates - the 9th there is definitely somewhere one could drop dead & die happy!

Hmmm... Unless the ball bounced of something, then it has to go down as a mis-read? Still frustrating though.

I like the one where people think that if they declare their ball unplayable, they can either drop within 2 club lengths (fair enough) or go back as far as they like towards where they last played from.

We're in London - and experience from elsewhere is that TV people never travel far from London if they don't have to.

A TV company just recently contacted our club about a new programme about "gadgets" one of which is supposed to be a golfing gadget - the gist of it being... Our engineers have developed a new golfing gadget which allows you to get round the course quicker. It would be ideal for an avid golfer...

Am pretty sure that when the subscription lapses, courses are no longer available - not even the ones your have already downloaded onto the machine. The only ones you can use are those you have recorded yourself. You can't subscribe for, say, one year, get the half dozen or so courses you're...

I've come across this a few times here & there. I guess the logic is that you're not supposed to land it on a path - you should be hitting it towards the green stuff & it's your fault? And of course you can move it - under penalty :)
