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

    Or even better, you need to get a sense of social responsibility, lose the arrogance and self-centredness, and stop spreading the virus. I’m trying really hard not to get banned from this forum. But if you really did go out to play on a course today, you are an utter disgrace. You should...

    I bought today.....

    I bought a chipping net and mat. I might look at a full net, but some non-essential places are stopping delivery.

    Any clubs closed ?

    Their numbers are not only still rising, they are still rising more rapidly every day.

    Any clubs closed ?

    This what they want you to think. The advice he has followed has been terrible. They are only taking measures now because of the massive wave of pressure from the scientific and medical communities outside of the government advisors. All of this action is coming far, far too late. We are now...

    Greenkeepers

    The initial “infographic” on the government website said that only key workers can leave the house for work. That has been updated now to say that you can leave the house for work - but work from home if possible. This should mean that greenskeepers can (at the moment) still work.

    Home Practise Nets?

    If you look at the images, there’s one with dimensions. The 1m one is only 85cm high! The girl in the photo of the 2m one must be about 6 years old!

    Home driving range nets

    Last Autumn the range had a huge pile of range mats for sale at £30, and they were in plenty good condition for me. I kept looking as the pile kept dwindling, and didn’t take the plunge. Regretting it now.

    Beginners advice

    These are the kinds of things that are starting to help me. Especially playing a couple of balls. I don’t do that for every shot, but I’m. It keeping score, I’m learning to play on grass. So if I find myself in a tricky lie, I’ll drop an extra ball or two, and play them all, just for the...

    How far would you financially support yout club at this time?

    I’ve been on the verge of joining a club (properly, not the associate thing I have now), and I’m torn between joining now, in the hope it will give them a little bit of support, or keeping my money, in case they don’t survive. I say I’m torn, but my wife is a self employed yoga instructor, so...

    Looking for some new irons

    I’m starting to think I might agree. I always thought I was taking up golf to be the best I can be, and I’d take every advantage, no matter what. But now I’ve been out on course a few times, the score is becoming secondary to the experience. I took my MP-32 to the range again yesterday...
