    Question about countback

    Thanks to all. I think I'm going to have to ask the secretary what the comp/club rule was, as I am Player B and I lost on countback. Cheers

    Lynx Driver. WANTED

    Hi all, Yesterday while out playing I noticed a crack in the head of my beloved Lynx driver. I would very much like to replace it, like for like. It's the Black Cat Tour model, from around 2008 (black and yellow). 9.5 degrees stiff (or as they call it, F for Firm). I know it's a long shot...

    Countback question

    Sorry guys, didn't realise I'd left one score out. Player B scored 4 on Hole 13. Just a bit confused about it all, as the club awarded the victory to Player A, but on the HowDidIDo site, Player B was ahead for that round....

    Cheesed Off

    I used to feel the same as you Homer, no point playing in pishing rain and not being able to grip the club - then I discovered Glenmuir MacWet golf gloves... Now when the rain starts getting heavy and looks like setting in, I pull on the gloves, drag them along my wet golf back, make sure the...

    Time for a whinge.

    Golf Club Promotions.......

    If the club and course is good, and well run, then retention shouldn't be an issue. My club was £530 to join, plus another £500 joining fee. They then completely dropped the joining fee. There is no way in hell I'd have joined if they'd kept it. I will be renewing soon for my 4th year of...

    Universities

    I studied at Durham and loved it - didn't do physics, but a few pals did and they said the teaching / facilities were top drawer. Did my Masters at Edinburgh, but don't know anybody who's studied Physics there. Durham / the north east certainly is a lot cheaper than most of the country - it...

    Free university education,1 good reason?

    Often the loan barely or doesn't even cover the battles bill, then you've got fees and living costs - working two or three nights a week in the pub couldn't cover it.

    How much are you involved at your club?

    Great effort Parmo - any golf club that doesn't have a website in this day in age doesn't have a chance of attracting fees. When someone mentions a golf course, the first thing I do is google it - if they have no website, or a really outdated one, I'm instantly put off.

    Anybody use a 2 iron??

    Nice one getting the 2 iron with the set - took me months to get a 2 iron mp-32. Love it though, such a beast in windy conditions.

    What's your local?

    No way - out in Eday?! What were you doing there? Been to Eday for work but not to the pub, I believe Merry Dancers is closed, but a new boozer has recently opened up, called the Roadside.
