I PM'd you to save your embarrassment as someone who casts aspersions without any basis, but as you haven't replied, I'll ask again. Who has blocked my emails? It's not England Golf (EG) or GM. I'm not looking for a soap box, or to have a rant, it's just that I don't see any input from England...

Does anyone know why there is no forum on the England Golf website, or none on any of the County Union websites, at least not on those that I've looked at? I would have thought that the game's administrators would appreciate the views, especially those of a constructive nature, of its fee-paying...

The Junior league our Club is in enters this competition every year and it brings together nearly all the Junior leagues around the UK. My nephew played in it one year, and I went along to watch and was very impressed. It's probably because it's run independently from any County Union that it...

The issue now is getting more volunteers involved in all sports to cope with the expected demand in post-Games take-up. The government could start with stripping away some of the red-tape deterring people from offering their services. Our game should look at its own Golf Volunteers website -...

You could also check out the Kikkor range. My daughter bought a pair and she loves them. She found them through: http://www.j4league.co.uk/shop.php

Supporting anything regardless of its worth just because its British doesn't make you any more of a patriot than those of us posting against the torch. Why has Jim Pocknell of the Kent Golf Partnership been chosen to carry the thing? There are many other proper volunteers in the golfing...

Thanks DCB, it's me that's new, not the Club's Junior section. It is well established with programmes for all levels, but I was just looking for whatever else might be available.

Thanks Wayman, I expected the County to help but it seems they're only interested in their own competitions, but not league golf run independent to the County.

I've been offered the opportunity to take over as Junior Organiser at my Club and I'm trying to get some info about competitions available in our County, Kent. The County office has little info about Junior leagues in Kent, so I wondered if anyone out there knows of any Junior leagues in the...

Ecco are great shoes - I've had some for years - but my daughter has just bought some Kikkor shoes from the Junior 4somes League website and they seem even better. It will be interesting to see how durable they are, but they look very well made, and she says they're the most comfortable she's...

The EGU website might be running as before, but my initial point was that the EWGA website is not running as before. The minutes of the Operational and Management boards used to be published regularly. Are these boards still convening? How are our subs being used? If you click on any England...

The merger was full of anomalies, and the biggest of these was allowing Clubs, and even Counties, to decide whether to merge their Men's and Women's sections. To me, this made a farce of their objectives of unifying the game. It was also said that people considering taking up golf would be more...

I'm surprised there haven't been more comments on a new body, England Golf, which has control of our annual subs, and whose board must have met since the merger, yet there is no info available on what's happening, and still no website. Yes, it's a big operation but, as 'rosecott' says, it was...

Sorry to hear about your problem. Look, this might not help your ailments, but I've just read a really good book, and it might take your mind off your pain. Someone lent me their Kindle to read it on, it's called The Last Bike Ride, and golf is involved. Hope you're back oot there soon!

Our governing body, the EWGA, and the Men's EGU, both voted recently to merge to form England Golf operational from January 1st. There's no website for England Golf and no other details about it, unless I'm missing something. We used to be able to read the minutes from EWGA board meetings. I...
