    Practice

    I like to practice, but currently don't have a field I can practice on. Driving range close to the course, but I'm too cheap to use it unless I'm desperate. I need a field of up to 100yds....I put out cones at various distances from 20 to 90 yds and just work on hitting to certain distances. I...

    Putting with the flag left in

    It's just like everything else though.....the world would be pretty boring if everybody liked one colour the best, or one tv show, style of clothing etc etc. I still say flag in/flag out is pretty 50-50, and then it's just up to what you "feel" better with. But....I've often wondered about how...

    Putting with the flag left in

    This is nonsense. I can find studies that prove that it's better out than in...and then find studies that prove that it's better in than out. Nothing definitive. It's like winter mats....some people hate them, and it doesn't matter why.....they just hate them.

    Putting with the flag left in

    I know a few.....the Brit words are better than the American words for...uh....inappropriate words.

    Electric trolleys

    I have a motocaddy....I wouldn't buy another, just because of the crazy control knob. Lots of people complain about this.

    Putting with the flag left in

    I've played with a number of people who insist the flag has a life of it's own and purposely knocks away any ball daring to try to go in the hole. I don't know how many times people have insisted the ball was going in the hole if it wasn't for that dang flag (at 50mph), and like a Trump...

    Reverse taper putter grip

    Did you watch the YouTube? Just like so many things with golf, hyperbole is just what everybody does on YouTube. Will it work for me?.....maybe, maybe not. If one thing absolutely worked better than other things everybody would be using it since it was so perfect....but they don't.

    Random Irritations

    Have an offer in on a nearby house (bigger, but tons of work and ££). The irritation process now begins. Kind of hoping they take another offer. We have a perfectly good house.....but the other house has a quad garage!!! Well..crap.....we got it. Drinking beer.............

    What is your club doing to combat the weather in the future?

    You could get those trees from The Lord of the Rings that move around pummeling people....

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

    Medal today. Today....all the tees moved from winter tees back to the whites.....the moaning and crying around the course was invigorating. +5 through 4 holes...I'd have been better off throwing it instead of hitting it. Swing change since I had nothing to lose....+5 the rest of the way, so...

    Golf Course Closed again

    Well, really disagree about clubs not getting anything from the roll-ups. These are the people that have supported the club for 20-40 years. The same ones that spend tons of money at the bar. They are the main source of revenue for the club. I don't really have issues with visiting parties...

    Golf Course Closed again

    This wouldn't even be an issue if everybody just played at a decent speed (not slow). I also don't see any reason for a couple of people out to play a club knockout match should get a free run through the course....as long as play isn't slow it shouldn't be an issue. I label this as the ol'...
