    Rollups, Swindles, WHS

    As a matter of interest, how many of the posters advocating that other players post general play cards in swindles etc used to put in a supplememntary every time they played pre-WHS. (Excluding old Cat 1 players obviously). I hear this argument a lot from members at my club yet they never used...

    Cost of green fees and membership

    It's not just about the powers that be to have the will. The clubs themselves also need to get on board. Not all clubs are on the county card scheme. Certainly upto 2019 St Enodoc wouldn't offer any county card discounts during their most busy times of the year. They didn't need to so why...

    who puts the ball back?

    Yes, but they should take care to follow the same procedure in reverse when moving the ball back to its original position. In your example, putter next to marker, then ball down at end of putter. NOT, putter next to marker, marker down then replace ball as the ball would not be on its...

    PGA Tour to Introduce New $40 Million Bonus Scheme

    Not as much as some people might expect. THese folks will have very smart financial advisors, coupled with the fact that a lot of them will choose their state of residency to be one which offers vey good tax advantages. For example, residents of Florida don't pay individual income tax. I...

    Surge of New Members

    I'm afraid I don't share your faith in other people. Since the very first lockdown finished when rakes disappeared from the courses our bunkers have got progressively worse. It is perfectly clear that often players make absolutely zero effort to clear up after themselves and expecting following...

    World Handicap System (WHS)

    If by "changes to the course" you mean permanent alterations to holes etc, then clubs should request a re-rating when significant changes are made to their golf course. I suggest your local county union can give guidance on what constitutes a signicifcant change. If you mean the changes due...

    WGC Dell Technologies Match Play - Slow Play

    The Green Books are very different to note books etc. There are already regulations in place about green reading materials limiting their scale and the physical size of the paper they're drawn on. Those regulations don't apply to any other notes the player may have. If the authorities wanted...
