At North Weald last Friday, great condition particularly bunkers, some work going on the course but still worth visiting. Woolston Manor - tricky but very nice course, gets very wet though. Risebridge - not may favourite, if you have a shot off the mounds to the side of the fairways be...

This reminds me of a question which was bothering me previously in relation to how GPS yardages are obtained. My assumption is they are done from an ariel photo, but surely that doesn't take into account any slopes in the ground? (Hence why laser finders would be more accurate). Or am I...

Often a bit out, but can't recall seeing as much as 30 yards, normally in the 5-10 region which isn't really an issue for my game! :smirk:

Don't think it is an April Fool's, as assuming the video isn't a cgi or whatever then they have actually made this. Whether it hits the production line is another matter of course, although I'm sure any courses which did get them would be very popular.

What was his handicap? Both those events seem to me the type a higher handicapper would do through ignorance of the rules, rather than a purposeful intent to cheat. Not that I'm saying what you did was wrong mind. This case I think is different, it is a 5 handicap who I think it's safe to...

Question for you (or anyone else): If on the 18th he had said 'yes, his ball was a little out of place' and moved it to the correct position - would you have then signed his card?

Well done, I think you handled that in a good way.

I think the other kids have learned a lesson - not owning up is a good way not to get punished. Personally I reckon the club were a bit silly to impose a ban seeing as you had already punished him. A much better solution IMO would have been for him to do some 'community service' (for want of a...

Great idea, takes out the 'fiddly bit' of recording stats on a phone or whatever. I think price tag will be the deciding factor on whether it's a success though.

Enjoy! Some nice golden sun here, good day to be out on the course!

Depressing isn't it. And even when you can get out the courses are playing like the Somme. It's GOT to improve soon...

Personally I would love to be called a bandit, just once would be fine...

This is exactly what I have been thinking recently. Like everyone else I would let the group play though, but whilst that is definitely the polite thing to do, I'm not sure it is actually the best for the rest of the players on the course in regards speed of play.

Have a question about what everyone does in this situation. Let's say your group drives off, and one ball isn't immediately found. You start looking, then notice the group behind has just arrived at the tee. You call them to play through and they start taking their tee shots. Then, just as...

Normally, just trying to mimic the real game as much as possible, although during the last winter they've become almost essential on the mats anyway!
