Welcome to our world! We have 20-24 guys who play every Saturday morning, without any accommodation from the club. All of us get on our computers and book times for Saturday mornings. We usually end up with 3 or 4 more times than we need, and cancel those we don’t need. Other members have come...

Your expectations may be too high? It's always good to ask before collecting them.

When I'm marking a course for competitions, I will paint the area with white paint, and then paint a large "NPZ" just outside the area. If the area is large, more "NPZ" may be required. It is also included in the Notice to Players. One would expect similar markings and/or communication for...
