your right it makes no sense at all! i wouldnt mind but the fairways have been less than perfect even with this measure in place. for me i dont mind playing from the semi but teeing up in the rough is too far.

yeah ive seen those sites but all are one off days as far as im aware...dont think there are any order of merits in this area but will check out the county site.

fom end of this month we have to use a mat or tee up....even in the rough!! thats usually the point where the clubs go in the garage til march.

Twitter Tip. Confidence is the oil that lets your swing work freely. Fear is the emergency brake. Instead of trying to NOT do, try to DO! (pete kostis) sounds pretty simple but this makes sense to me!! going to try it on saturday!!

couldnt agree more....i got down to 8 from 12 by playing half a dozen great rounds thinking of nothing more than hittin it were im aiming and getting up and down where ever possible. soon as i got to single figures i started having lessons thinking i had to become a better ball striker to...

Hi, they do yes but nothing that evolves into an order of merit. i've run these comps in a society in the past and i know the format does keep interest going, especially on a bad day when every point/stroke can count overall. I also know winter league formats work but rarely have i heard of...

thats happened to me twice this year...i now take my sundogs to the first tee and ask someone to wear em when im teeing off!!

never class myself as a ping lover but just bought an I-series Piper H which is weighted beautifully...cant seem to get naything but a great roll with it, even on greens as they are at this time of year

Hi, just wanted some opinions please. Do you get a little fatigued with playing your home course week after week in competition play? would a mini tour constructed of one off competitions at local venues during a year be appealling? resulting in an order of merit? i play golf in the...

Thanks for those links guys, good to know whats on the market.

absolutley! i've not got high hopes to be honest but the EGU seem more open to anything thats increases the chance of new golfers getting to grips with the game/rules.

Thanks Homer, agree with all you say above. I may have an idea on this to put to the R&A. I've already sounded out the EGU to see if anything exists that i'm not aware of. I expect what i'm thinking may be a little too basic though.

Yeah ive used those quick guides for my society members in the past but even those end up in a state and for beginners are not that easy to follow. I was thinking of something much more basic just covering the options when encountering an unplayabale lie or a Water Hazard/OB. i guess what i'm...

Thanks for the feedback guys. In my experience, golfers often use the excuse of not having time to examine the rule book etc when challenged on any issue related to dropping the ball or playing a provisional ball. Woulod you say some sort of quick guide easily accesible on course would be a...

we have mainly medals plus a handful of stableford plus one Bogey competition. The arrangement of our medals are bizarre though. We play March/April/May medals all in April and Sept/Oct/Nov medals all in September! Personally i would like to see more of a mix but i agree Medal is the best...
