The standard scratch at our place is normally 70 obviously depending on scores. We played in a Sunday stroke competition last week. 6 greens had been cored so was a reduction only. 3 players were 1 better than the CSS, 2 on it, 2 1 shot worse and the rest way above it out of a field of around...

1. Like many would agree on here, just looking for a rough idea especially on a blind shot! 2. I could see where it went but unfortunately my eyes don't allow me to see through trees and over hills (maybe yours do) and knowing the course I thought our partners might give an idea whether...

I played a provisional every time i was in any doubt because of this! On one occasion they said my ball was fine when it had gone OOB.

Yes they did have home advantage but home advantage to me is, ill take 1 club less and let it run down the hill or land it left and let the contours take it etc. Not blatantly let someone hit it in the sh*t and not watch where there balls are going. Ill always explain the basics of a hole on...

Played in a doubles match today at a course we've never played before. We both had a GPS device but obviously didn't know correct lines off the tee and hazard positions etc. The first few holes were straight forward but after that loads of blind tee shots. The problem was our opponents were...

I played a set of offset Nicholas Bear irons for 14 years until I replaced them 2 years ago. I also had a Warbird 3 wood and second hand 8 year old Mizuno driver. I got down to 5 with them no bother. Also being a tight Scotsman and like playing pro v's (refuse to pay £40 a dozen) all my balls...

A big part of it is putting yourself in position off he tee. My yardages are about 10yds short of the OP. I can hit a driver a long way and very comfortable in doing so. I would say the driver is one of the best clubs in my bag. I can hit most fairways but still prone to the odd loose one which...

I don't think leaving the big clubs at home is being negative its being realistic. If you have 240 to a burn running across a fairway and can hit a driver 250 is it negative hitting a 3 iron to lay up? It's called course management and playing to your ability. Back to the original topic though...

I don't understand why high handicappers use drivers and complain when they can't hit fairways. Forget about driver and 3 wood, get yourself a nice 5 wood / hybrid and use this off the tee. Far better 50 yards back and in play than a lost ball. Doing this and a good book on course management...

I also use these and love them!

Ill second that. Played here 6 or 7 times now and the course has always been immaculate (including through the winter). I once had a bad coffee though!

It's vandalism not theft and can use a small discreet camera.

I'm looking for a cctv system for my van. It's been vandalised a few times and the police can do nothing about it without any evidence. I have no cctv cameras close to my home so ideally looking for something I can have in the cab that will record overnight. I've been looking online and...

I enquired about joining last season. Think they still have a stupid joining fee. I also don't think drainage is the problem, it's the fact that the Clyde floods it more often than not in winter. My neighbours a member and said they lost 6 holes to flooding so were playing 12 holes for a few...

Play off 5. Melted a driver 315 slightly downwind on the 10th at Bogside at weekend with 2 forumer witnesses! Also have a very small ......... so need to make up for it somehow!
