Dear colleagues, I'm writing a book that includes some golf stories. I played in the Lincs Amateur at Woodhall Spa in the 1980s (without success!), but would like to be accurate on the year. It would have been in the early 1980s. I just need the year the county amateur was played there. Does...

Par 72, CR 69.6, 6100 yards.

It was 2 from 3 stabelford. Scores recorded were 1x8pts hole, 1x7pts hole, 10x6pts holes. Course rating 69.6 Par 72

True, I’m still in shock!!

One new member off 37. Not particularly short, 6100 yards, tree-lined fairways. An average of over 5 points per hole means an average of better than net eagles on each hole. Haven't checked their score card yet!

Today was a 2 from 3 better ball stableford. Yellow tees, placing on fairways, SR 130, 95% H'Cap no limit. The winning teams teams H'Caps were 20, 38, 24. The winning margin was 8 points. I'd be interested in comments on this score from others, please.

I use the strips where I only need a single thickness of tape, usually for my mates, and for the final full length layer. I find a spiral wind of narrower tape is more flexible when I need extra layers on part of the grip. The newer MCC plus 4 grips that are thicker under the lower hand may make...

Thanks for the link. A quick look tells this is the stuff I've used before so maybe I didn't choose the "premium" option. Many thanks!

Hi guys - For years I've been fitting shafts, re-gripping clubs etc. Recently I ordered a roll of grip tape and it seems thinner (like cling film) and pushes out a nasty, sticky glob of adhesive when the grip slides on. The strips of tape from same supplier are thicker, as the rolls used to be...

Ah sorry, I should have added its voluntary entry - though that isn't mentioned when we pay the entry fee.

Hi Guys, our competition entry inludes £1 towards Twos achieved in the round. The value is divided up equally to those having a Two. It is not split up by division or handicap etc. Almost exclusvely the majority of the money is won by those in the lowest division, with the least won in the...

Seems like this is well established so may I ask how many of you do this, and who decides what needs to be done?

After Lockdown1 a friend and I decided to help out on the course, 1 day a week trimming low hanging branches alongside fairways. We have 14,000 trees (I've been behind them all!). The objectives were 1) lift canopies to allow ball to be found more easily 2) allow recovery shot to be played 3)...

Just got more complicated. Marker now claims he entered the yellow ball gross score against the wrong player. It’s now referred to the committee.
