The first Olympics I can remember. As well as Mary Rand, Lynn Davies won the men's long jump and Ann Packer won the women's 800m.

We introduced Multi Tee competitions last year, including Monthly Medals, off any rated tee for either gender. The vast majority of members played off the whites, which is the 2nd furthest back, but one or two low handicappers decided to play off reds at the end of the season. Completely against...

Surely it's up to the club management to decide that based on their review of budgetary requirements, tee utilisation etc, to achieve the best result possible while inconveniencing the least number of members. At my club in summer, a lot of Fridays are taken up at peak times by societies...

The old HDID app allowed you to access other clubs' details of competition results and members' handicaps which was quite useful. I can't find this on the new app. It will be a pity if it's been ditched.
