To quote the Royle Family - how about wafer thin ham?

Strange how regional these Open formats are. Around here most clubs have a Men’s Infuvidual Open, quite a few clubs have a scratch 36 Men’s Open in addition. They all have the usual 4BB, mixed, seniors juniors etc. as well. There seems to be an increase in mixed pairs as well in an odd...

A friend of mine has based their whole trip to Aus around going to the Boxing Day Test. They bought tickets for the first two days (he was up in the middle of the night during our golf trip to Portugal in June buying the tickets online as they were released). He said today that it’s the first...

Just watching the highlights and a lot of Australia’s runs today were edges through the slips so they were a bit lucky to make even that total.

If you have to use the word apparently does that therefore disqualify them from being a celeb?

It would be nice to have a ‘fewer emails’ option. One a month would be of use and interest but it’s the sheer volume and repetition of the same offers that will lead people to unsubscribe, thereby working against these companies

Not sure if broadcasters, sponsors, cricket grounds’ vendors etc. will appreciate such short test matches especially when they are one sided. It won’t help get more money into the Test game when they are facing such competition from the shorter forms.

Would it be a good idea, to save a lot of email traffic, just to have companies notifying you when they don’t have sales?

Exactly this, by submitting a 9 hole score the day before, all things being equal, they were risking cutting their handicap further.

Yes, this is a good thing isn’t it?

If you play a Texas scramble over 14 holes, should the allowance be as per WHS full 18 hole allowance or 14/18 of the allowance?

Didn’t this just mean that his handicap was more up to date? Or was he deliberately entering a false score?

It is bizarrely thought by some that the previous system was ‘better’ in this regard and the additional burden on committees/Pro Shops to manually enter card was somehow a good thing. The increased use of technology should be seen as a good thing not some odd conspiracy to make more people...
