Just watch the 4th and final episode - its quite funny if you enjoy watching the pre Ryder cup US hype and the post Ryder Cup semi contrition.

LIV proved that there was a market for these star events in Australia and South Africa but at what cost? However if the staging, off course entertainment, massively increased prize fund and the appearance fees of star golfers are not offset by huge new sponsorship then gate receipts are not...

Wouldn’t the important factor be how many fans would start rooting for a State based team? Whether there are 4, 10 or 30 players available with links is not the driving factor behind the amount of people who might have engagement, loyalty and following with a State team. To create a supporter...

The only other one I've played recently who didn't allow ankle socks was Blackwell. On a side note the scruffiest and rudest people we saw on the course that day were members.

As far as I am aware there are only a handful of clubs in the UK who think white ankle socks are inappropriate. I have never been to a course outside the UK, including many prestigious clubs, where white ankle socks are not considered appropriate. In fact in the US, including some Major venues...

Mel Smooth said: “It's my view that Scheffler is a flat track bully.” Does this help?

But are football shorts ‘tailored’?

Some of the most obvious missed pitch marks and unrepaired bunkers I have seen have been at fairly well to do clubs, my assumption is that such repairs is seen as beyond the remit of the entitled members and something that the staff do. If you play at really well to do courses groups have...

Apart from the hat thing obviously.

No, no, no - he’s won at Augusta twice which is apparently not as flat a track as it looks on TV.

Thoroughly recommend Pinehurst. Gorgeous New England style village, lots of interesting shops and cafes and a couple of bars. The Holly Inn is really quaint and you can eat there or at The Carolina (which is really grand) on the Stay, Play and Dine packages. Lots of history, Donald Ross was...

Unfortunately I can’t give a decent comparison of the two venues, although we’ve been to Pinehurst twice, I haven’t yet been to Ashbury (but I do hear it is great value).

Have you seen the title of this thread? The votes are in.
