    Disastrous high hooks with short irons?

    First thing I do is to check club face alignment. After taking your grip and stance lift the club up so it is horizontal to your face, it is the easiest way to see if the club face is closed (or open).

    Dropped Ball

    The sensible thing is for a player to take a provisional ball, however there are far too many optimists who play golf.

    Space Travel - good or bad?

    As already mentioned so many advances in technology have come from the space programme and the question is - Would we have them without it? The real reason for many countries being interested in getting to the moon is to be able to mine it's resources.

    Golf Random Irritations

    At the end of the day a player is only responsible for recording their gross score on the card. The committee is responsible for calculating the stableford points.

    Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

    I played yesterday - All the whites posts round the greens that we are not allowed past had now been removed. That's a fair few less yards spent walking for me ( I am a buggy user). Probably part of why I managed 18 holes.

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    I have lived in the area for 40 years , it is one of just a handful of courses I have never played because I have heard about the hills. Similarly I have never played Sidmouth GC One of the things you notice living in the West Country is the days without wind rather than the days with it.
