I would agree racy is probably not the right word, throaty?? Having gone form the same car in a diesel to the petrol version I would agree about the different sound. Mind you my next door neighbours VW Tiguan or Troc sounds just the same as mine did from the outside.

I drove the Kona 3 miles to my home and the 3 miles back to the garage home. At the time I was more worried about what the hell was going on with the steering than worrying about lumber support. ( Realised it was the lane assist when I got home but without a manual could not work out how to turn...

I too could never buy a car without a test drive. There have been cars I have got in to and out of again without even bothering with a test drive. A couple that have given me backache just whilst out on a test drive. I suppose it is one the reasons I am now on my 4th Peugeot always very...

It is the turbo coupled with the exhaust (very racy sounding). I noticed a lot of people turning round to look when I had mine. One of the first things I noticed it when switching from the same car as a diesel.

no I have got a halogen hob and it is instant heat plus my kettle does not hold enough for water and is 800w kettle only. What I will do if I want a lot of part hot water quickly is use the combi boiler.

no white patches/spots - not tonsilitis in my experience. When I get left it, too long and I start to get dizzy spells as as well.

I could have a whole thread to myself If I was to let you know about my injuries. e.g now at 4 weeks with no golf and this week just one hour outside of the house.

Putt first when not the furthest away and wanting the flag in when everybody else wants it out. I can understand it sometimes when they may gain info from another's putt.

Thanks for that link I was wondering if I could get it some how.

Playing amongst my mates those that want the flag in are asked to putt first regardless of distance and once the flag is out it stays out until we all have finished. However we will always have those that refuse.

I watch a lot of pro golf. When the rule first came out quite a few of the pros were putting with the flag in (not all putts) but slowly this number reduced. One most notable player still doing it is Matt Fitzpatrick so much so one the TV pundits made a remark when he saw him have the flag...

This comes under Rule 1.2 Standards of Player Conduct. There can be no penalty under this rule and a club has to have it's own code of conduct rules.

Incomplete??

Keeping pars and course ratings fundamentally based upon current guides for distance makes absolute sense to me as it caters in general for all abilities. If you are a long hitter and are getting on par 5 is 2 it will be reflected in your handicap. From GM Average male driving distances 2022...

One thing that certainly has gone out of the window is having somebody attend the flag for you. It is either in or out. The actual putt dictates for me whether it is in out and whether I am just playing for fun or in a comp. In the main I am a flag out person. I prefer to have a 4" target...
