    Best grip for Sweaty Hands

    I used to use a resin grip enhancer when competing in another sport. Can't remember what it was called, but have a look at grip products for tennis players, it will be a bigger issue for them.

    Lithium quandary

    I bought my Powakaddy in 2016 with identical instructions. I wonder if either the battery or charger has changed?

    New Local Rules

    Thank you for your comprehensive answer, I have now caught up with the others posting on this thread. The video, unlike CONGU, doesn't state that the LR cannot be used in Qualifying competitions. I am unclear what is the benefit of the LR if it only applies to casual games, as that is bound to...

    New Local Rules

    I have been following this topic with interest, as I have been known to hit a ball OOB. What I would like to know is just what this possible LR actually says. I have looked on the CONGU website up to today's notice which refers to a document with advice to committees, but it isn't there. Can...

    Doubles query

    Many thanks for that. I have downloaded the R&A Decisions app, which also includes the Rules. Strange that the Rules app does not include the Decisions.

    Doubles query

    Played a doubles knockout today, where the lowest handicap was absent. I was sure that we still took strokes from him, but I cannot find where CONGU give this info. Can anyone help?

    Sports Psychology

    In the late 70s, I was introduced to Tim Galwey's Inner Game of Tennis. Over many years, it helped me as a target shooter, reach a level where I won medals at World and European Championships. I have the golf version, but for me, the original is far better at getting the mind where I want it...

    GPS's ? Helpful or not?

    I have a Bushnell Neo Ghost. It gives distances to front, middle and back, together with details of up to four hazards. I find it particularly useful on new courses, for telling me about hidden creeks below my line of sight. The battery lasts in excess of 10 hours before recharging...

    Player picks up his ball in error

    Thank you. Your responses have helped me understand how to read the Rules overall. In general terms, the first section describes what should happen, which may or not lead a penalty and what follows is the Penalty for Breach of Rule for not following the required procedure.

    Player picks up his ball in error

    Playing a three ball Stableford today. I made a long putt that finished near the pin. To save time the player attending the flag marked and lifted my ball, so that the third player could putt. He left his own ball on the green as it was not near the pin. I come to the pin and the player...
