Apparently its the wat HD camcorders work. They scan the image in rows from top to bottom. So during the swing whilst it takes one frame the club has moved quite a lot.

Most of the sponsorship deals aren;t what they seem. Even when the player has the manufacturers clubs in the bag they are not the clubs we could go into a shop and buy. As meantioned in the previous reply, most pros are playing clubs forged by Miura, even those playing cavities.

The competition and handicapping committee have decided to run a 2 month trial of the system. It is already in use for bokking competition tee times which works well. Not sure if was supported by the members, i have mailed to get my disapproval noted. Doh, I'm sure it won't be booked all the...

You are likely to get a cleaner strike off a tee which may result in a bit more distance. Is the tee slightly raised? Could get extra distance due to slope.

I'm about to go through this process. My practice range, grass tees, has markers at 50 100 150 etc, I've checked them on google earth for accuracy. I'll pace off from there. Previously I've used range markers, very unreliable due to not trusting the marker and the balls etc. Fairly reliable 10...

Are there any exceptions to the qualification route? Just wondering how top amateurs are able to just decide to turn pro after the Walker cup when others, with low handicaps, have to risk a lot more and give up jobs to work as an assistant pro and get qualified?
