This season I have been playing in our seniors team and this type of issue has surfaced several times, where high handicappers appear to be playing well above their ’expected‘ level. At times I have found it frustrating when opponents are on the green with 2 putts for net birdie or eagle, but in...

Please bear in mind that trying to predict the future in this pandemic is going to be guess work where holidays outside the UK are concerned. Even if vaccination levels are high in the UK what about your destination country? Will they recognise your vaccine as adequate if you have had the Astra...

Done Good luck and look forward to seeing your results

This is just something we have to accept and get used to. Covid is still here the R rate is now close to 1 with several areas of the country living with increased restrictions. We need to be doing everything we can to reduce infection risk, so masks on in the pro shop etc and leave flagsticks...

Unfortunately we play a game steeped in a misogynist tradition. All competitions should be open to all and tee times not protected for certain groups, perhaps other than younger juniors who need to be supervised

Several years ago in a winter Stableford competition, playing with 2 other guys who I think played together fairly regularly. One of them started to play poorly and brought out the full range of expletives as his game worsened. By about hole 12 he would tee off then decided if he might play the...

Bee Been lucky enough to play golf in Dubai The Montgomerie 18th hole certainly grabs your attention. This is a 600 yard par 5 and this is what you see from the tee, with the clubhouse being the low white building in the distance. Like all good holes it is visually more intimidating than it...

If you are thirsty then you need to drink if not then you don’t We all managed fine before energy drinks were invented, they were developed for high performance athletes not golfers. Eating and drinking for club golfers in the UK is for comfort only

Beats me why anyone would want to post on a public forum how they are flouting the rules that are intended for all of us to follow Your actions reflect poorly on us all and this could come back to bite you in many ways. One person photographs you doing this and social media or local press are...

Please no don’t do this (I assume you are not joking) Firstly it sounds like trespassing on private land and highly likely if you are seen Police will be called Secondly this is clearly outside current recommended exercise advise If we keep trying cunning plans to beat the restriction, then it...

The more inflexible you make the rules about any event the more ‘circumstances’ will challenge this. Club committees are left in very difficult positions trying to decide what circumstances may be exceptional. What happens if finals day is rained off, bereavement, illness as examples If you...

We have had exactly the same issue and have had a polite request to avoid doing just this

I am not against technology and have a smartphone and a golf GPS that I use on just about every round I play. My worry with electronic scoring is device failure during the competition. The added benefits tech brings to a situation need to be balanced against the risks. The main purpose of score...

Electronic systems do and will fail with both technical and operator errors. This does look like another non problem looking for a solution.

I agree that Westwood does seem relaxed and happy when you watch the coverage, and there is little doubt he knows about the value of caddies given his years as a pro I just wondered what if anything he might be missing
