When u get a drop in a bunker is it from knee height or placed? Recently I was playing and the bunker had water in it, my playing partners all said I get a free relief from the water, and get to place it in the bunker.

After hitting my 1st ball into trees, I hit a provisional ball into the fairway. I walk up and find my first ball but it’s completely unplayable. Impossible to chip out either way. What’s my options with the rules?

What’s the best amateur competition to enter? I play a lot of local opens, Love playing different courses, meeting new people and normally food laid on, which is always a bonus.

At a recent comp, a player in one group hit a 3 wood from the f/w, he flushed it 260 and it rolled onto the green with the group in front still on green. One of those on the green picked it up and threw it into the bunker! Any ruling on this?

I hear about people being feel players? When I'm out on my own I can feel the shot I want to play, but during a comp, under pressure the feel goes completely!! On 1 course practice gross +2, comp day +20, another course practice gross +1, comp +18. I spoke to another golfer who plays off 2, and...

No back injury, calling physio 2morrow. I think it's my knees. Thanks 4 all the replies.

Not excessively hilly, its been the last 4-5 times out. I'm 40, not overweight. Don't excercise a lot, but at the mo I couldn't play 2 days in a row! It's just the knees and calf muscles.

Just recently while playing I've started getting calf and knee pain on the back 9, the next day I can hardly move. Just recently I played 27 holes, 20 holes in my golf really suffered, my knees nearly gave way. I've been docs had test no problem. So this winter gonna work on fitness, etc. any1...

I'm down Wembley in a few weeks, I've got s few hours spare. Can any1 recommend a golf course around that way? Looked on tee off times and so many.

Hi all, I played a recent knockout match play. In which I lost. But the other bloke moaned constantly, he must of talked for the whole 3 1/2 hrs we played. I'd line up my shot, then he'd ask a question just as I addressed the ball. Okay I wasn't swinging the club, but it threw me off my shot. On...

It's just a work based golf society, about 30 members. I understand why he introduced the bonus points 4 turning up, it was Captains day at his own club. Hardly anyone was going before that. I can't c how changing after the event is fair on the people who went.

I've only been there for half this season. He organises our meets, etc

My question concerns last season in our golf society. We run a league and points table through the season. On captains day last season there wasn't many putting names down to play,so the club captain decided to introduce a 7 points bonus to any player turning up. U only got the 7 points if it...

I'm playing in a 5 club competition this w/e 4 the 1st time. Just thinking what to take? I'm thinking 3 wood, hybrid, 7 iron, pw, putter? What would you have in the bag?

Cheers for the reply. I've recorded my swing and compared it to a pro. It's easier to blame the club!! Got a few things to work on.
