Money can’t buy you love, but it looks as if Liv can buy you Monahan…😏

If the fallen trees were among the many that seem to be transplanted/moved then I can see the suspension of play being extended on safety grounds. A tree falling on a player (or one of the wealthy dentist patrons…) could create a huge liability for the club. It is possible that the club‘s...

Interesting article. Not sure that average is the most useful measure though as it will - particularly for handicap golfers - be dragged down by mishits etc. This is best illustrated by example: if I hit 100 drives, 90 of them travel 240 yards and ten travel 40 yards then my average driving...

15.4 from 15.9 Ok with me.

Government guidance looks specific and unequivocal to me. I think it is partly about about sending a message about how seriously we should all be taking this etc...

Do we have a definitive answer as to whether over 70’s (all of whom are defined as “clinically vulnerable, regardless of medical conditions”) are now allowed to play golf? How about those on the smaller “clinically extremely vulnerable” list?

I thinK that expecting someone (anyone!) to play three times a week with you is quite an ask. Maybe ask him if he’d be happier playing once a week plus the odd extra here and there when the weather is good..?

And what is “the general penalty”..?

If the ball had clear and indisputable provenance, how much would it be worth..? I suspect “not much”

Recent weather means that most of us are getting used to playing in wet conditions. I’ve pretty much given up on my 3 and 4 irons. They just don’t seem to work as well off a sodden fairway, so I’ve put my 4 hybrid back in the bag in the hope that this will have a higher success rate. I’ve been...

28 points. New irons were ok. Old driver and 3w were not... Thank you all for the comments. I'll stick with the new as advised!

Clear theme! This is actually the first time I’ve changed my irons so I’m interested to learn how people approach the transition. The social round I played did show me that they are different to my first set. I think the lack of offset in particular. When I was fitted for my first set I...

I know this topic has been done before! I have a nice new set of irons. They are different to the game improvers I’ve played for the last couple of years since taking up the game properly. Specifically they have smaller heads and less offset. Whilst I’m confident that they’ll help me move...

The more substantial ECCO goretex shoes will keep your feet warm and dry. They are worth the high cost.

At the risk of being somewhat non-2019, I am going to observe that this is not a golf problem. Mrs Gunner played for a women’s tennis team, and was beset by similar issues at every turn.
