I thought so too. At least the parents (not me I would add) could split the bar bill!

Ok - so not unique. Extra info - both players are under 10. Hole was 160 yards. The lad hit driver. Don't know what the girl hit.

Today in the junior medal two of them got a hole in one - one after the other I.e. they were in the same group and one played immediately after the other (feel sorry for the 3rd guy that let the team down!) Has this ever happened before?

Thinking logically, this should be a serious problem for a left hander since their turning force on the spike will be anti-clockwise, therefore undoing the spike with every shot - at last, a real reason to get left handed shoes (to match my left handed custom fit tees :))

Anyone else had this problem? My lad was playing a 36 hole comp with some newish (4 weeks / 30 rounds old) Footjoy dna shoes. He noticed about the fourth that 2 spikes had come off from the toe section of the left shoe. Continued playing the rounds and Sunday we went to the pro shop to get...

Have a look at Windlesham - cracking course and great new clubhouse / food.

I was told to assume 10% shorter - partly because of the quality of the ball but also because range balls at this time of year are VERY cold

If having a singleton up your chuff is putting your opposition off - leave them there. If it is putting you off - play them through. Simples. :D

I don't win them but I am sure my Christmas present from my mother is always something she has won in a comp / club tombola. Got a set of very strange teacups and saucers one year and it had still had a pink numbered ticket taped to the bottom of the box. :ooo:

I would have thought it would be a great tool for a teaching pro - kit you up, send you out and analyse your play when you get back. Obviously not as good as a full course lesson but useful nevertheless.

Anyone played the Kusadasi course - am due there in July (yes, I know, it will be HOT!)

That won't work - I want my caddie lurking in the undergrowth half-way down the fairway where he can be of far more use spotting which tree I had a lucky bounce off :)

So what we really need is a ball boy to lob us our provisional when needed?

I always carry a spare ball - and because I have one to hand I use it maybe more often than some. I don't have a home course so get to play wherever will have me. I don't know if that ball that just rolled off into the first cut is easy to find or not (lost one in the 1st cut at Wentworth South...

I live within 200 yards of Windlemere Golf Club in Surrey. A nice little 9 hole course with a mix of 4's and 3's. I don't think it has a dress code (or it really doesn't enforce one) but it is normally packed - kids, adults, wives and husbands - a fair mix of good and bad golfers - you name it...
