    Putting with the flag left in

    Although I like the flag out (I find it off putting to leave it in especially on short putts) it doesn't bother me if people want it left in. It does look odd with short putts though.

    Went down to Beau Desert yesterday for their ladies open, What a delight it was to play on a dry course and no rain either (it started just after we finished our round). I started really well, 6 pars in the first 10 holes, but couldn't keep it going, probably down to having hardly played 18...

    Mixed team knockout this morning away at Styal, played over 15 holes as 3 were closed and we needed to get the match played, the course was very wet, worse than ours, although the greens were decent and far better that ours.

    Over-rated Bands / Musicians

    Not a band but a song RadioX listeners poll for 100 best British songs had Live Forever by Oasis as number 1, it was number 1 last year too I believe, I don't mind Oasis but that song is nothing special in my opinion.

    We played the first round of the Manchester & district ladies team knockout today, We tried to get an extension on the closing day due to all the rain, but to know avail, although they did allow matches to be played over a minimum 14 holes and fortunately we had 14 open. So we played on a very...

    foursomes matchplay allowances

    I know the 4BBB handicap allowances in matchplay have changed so the 90% is now taken off the the difference in handicaps, but is it the same in foursomes, is it 50% of the difference in combined handicaps or is it the difference between 50% of the combined handicaps? The WHS notes are a bit vague.

    I played yesterday, only 14 holes open, despite a dry day and a half the course was wetter than last weekend, we should have had an interclub knockout today but it was rearranged due to our opponents course being too wet, we have another next Sunday that I do not hold out much hope for. I...
