So today I hit my ball right and lost sight behind a tree on the front of a pond. The area where it would have landed is a spur of land between a pond and a ditch. The spur can only be accessed by walking around the pond and back in front of the green. I walked up to the pond in line with my...

Thesociety I played in was great, never seemed to be won by the same players but they calculated their own handicaps based on previous society performance, if you won by a few clear points from the average you would get a cut and have to play out of your skin for the next few games to stand a...
