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?

Pouilly Fume with the starters and a nice Margaux with the main course. Christmas is a good reason to delve deep into the stock.

Is there an echo in here?

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

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...

It is fairly ridiculous to believe that we would have still had manual submission for supplementary scores in 2025 if UHS was still in force. The world has moved on considerably in the past 5 years.

There appears to be a key assumption being made here and that is that the player deliberately played badly when playing the GP round in order to increase their handicap. By submitting a GP card under this system or the last, or playing in a qualifying comp, the player risks reducing their...

They could have put in a supplementary score under UHS that, if bad, could have moved them up from, for example, 9.4 (9 shots) to 9.5 (10 shots).

Full schedule of Championship, League 1&2 and National League games to enjoy though.

103 posts on an irrelevant programme that nobody is going to watch or care about broadcast by a company which has no interest in sport or any relevance to it. Seems a bit odd. ……..104 now.
