Played with my brother and mother (in her 70s) who are both over for Xmas, and both of whom don’t play golf. Some hilarious shots were made. One of which I’ve never seen before. My brother managed to hit his tee shot between his own legs. Then my mum did exactly the same thing a few holes later. 🤣

yeah I've hit off a standrad mat, a piece of fake grass doormat, and one of those coir doormats. The coir one broke. And the other still damaged the ground underneath. The other thing to consider is the damage done to the grass from where you stand. The constant pushing into the ground and...

Acrually had another look at the pallet and its not your typical pallet (didn't take a mental note of what it looked like previously!). There are only a few gaps and they are quite small. Makes for natural drainage and shouldn't affect footing. wondering if I should put dense foam mats down...

good point. was thinking of some rubber (maybe those flooring mats that fit together like jigsaws), and thought that might negate the gaps. But maye that wouldn't be enough.

I've made a mess to the grass in the back garden hitting balls into a net. So much worse now its winter with the grass not growing back. My fat shots aren't helping either :sneaky: I've found that practice mats don't help all that much because the impact causes the ground underneath the mat to...

Because the real problem 🙋🏻‍♀️ is at home getting angrier and angrier the longer you spend at the course.

Yeah makes sense. Must have weakened over time I guess. Will just have to do without a 4 iron for a while.

They were bought off eBay years ago. I did replace the 5 iron grip myself recently at the shaft was fine.

At what point do I just buy a new set of irons?! 😂 Hit a ball with my 4 iron into the net in my back garden and this happened. How the heck does it break there?! Any explanations welcome.

Is that true thugh? Surely the reference point would begin at the point just before the penalty area line rather than on it?

I've just come to the same conclusion in the post below. Great minds!

Yeah surely that'd be ok right? If you look at the picture below and draw a line from the flag to the reference point (x). With that line you draw a circle around the flag and this would be the "no closer to the hole" circle. The purple arc is the 2 club length lateral relief circle. So when...

in general yeah, but i wanted to know specifically about the lateral relief part. Say for example, back on the line was no good because of really thick rough or trees.

Not understanding this at all sorry. The grey line (the path of the ball) started outside of the penalty area (greenside) so the reference point would be where the ball last entered the penalty area. (3) Lateral Relief (Only for Red Penalty Area). When the ball last crossed the edge of a red...

What's the interpretation of the lateral relief rule here? You play your tee shot and it crosses the red staked penalty area, only for it to hit a bank or spin back into the red penalty area. You can't play it as it lies because it's rested in some rocks or water. You could go back to the tee...
