Not heard of this either. 😉 Anyone famous playing in it? That might get a few out to watch.

I also didn't know there was a Liv event this week until that post. From a marketing perspective, I think that's interesting.

Scotland's worst export!🤣🤣 Crept south recently. Actually not as bad as you might think. I think trudging through muck on a course that wouldn't be open it it was for mats, is worse than using the actual mat.

I'm not fully awake yet, but on first glance I thought you worked on a Spurk Helpline!🤣🤣 Given the number of posts, maybe there should be.

Happened to me in the heather above a bunker at Walton Heath. Hit the shot, a second ball flew out too. Very odd.

Surely if the lugs on a Spurk are not fully pressed in, when you hit the ball, they will be? (Unless you thin it!) Savage over thinking going on. 🤣

We're "sending oot the wains!" 😉😁

I played there in 2008, had a great time. Ponte Vedre area is really nice too. Most tourists never leave Orlando 😁

Test of how important The Players Championship is, does it have Major vibes??? "Am I as excited as waking up on the Thursday of The Open?" Eh, no. Test over!😁 Will I watch many hours of golf over the next four days. Yes. 😉

None of which I counted as local. Newport, St Pierre, Llanwern, Tredegar Park, Raglan, Monmouth etc all do not and I bet most of the others over here don't either. 😉 Maybe that's the different jurisdiction?

By local, I meant east of Cardiff. Which ones are running qualifying comps in winter?

They measure success using odd metrics!😁😁 I don't know of any local courses who do qualifiers in the winter. I don't detect any pressure from Wales Golf. (Yet) The issue isn’t mats this this, it's the appalling condition of the land. If the comps became qualifiers, I wouldn't bother...

I always wondered about the need/wish for qualifying scores etc in winter where the course/climate just isnt up to it.

I was saying, you can’t hit the shot if the ball has rolled off the mat! In my bit of Wales, that nearest flat ground might be Bristol!🤣🤣🤣

Stopping the ball rolling off the mat isn't cheating, it's a requirement!🤣🤣🤣🤣
