Thought that was the way you putted all the time? :ROFLMAO:

the silly walk. ;)

It's the length of the tee which has a limit, not the height the ball is above the ground. And we don't need another discussion about "length" (of scorecards). :)

Look at the descent angles in the Ping chart and Nick's descent angles are right in the range for his swing speed with those clubs. Increasing the swing speed would be required to get into the 40's, and that's a difficult proposition (my data would be similar to Nick's). It's depressing to try...

Management staff that cares about members!

Seems a lot of reference to 3-putting. That's usually result of poor distance control or missing short putts. I'm more interested in the total number of putts I used during the round. Anything 31 or less is usually a good score. 3-putts are irritants but can be resolved by making short putts.

People make choices based on the best information they have available at the time. If one makes such a choice for A rather than B, one should not expect compensation from A for that choice.

Why not start a poll to see what the majority considers the "length" of a scorecard (instead of just digging deeper)?

Obviously that name would not be appropriate in today's climate. Heaven forbid!

What about an abnormal day (wind, rain)? or a tree in the way?

TMI. (too much information). Just choose the club and hit the required shot. "Gapping" is, imo, significantly over-rated. A player should be able to hit at least three clubs proficiently to a 100 yard marker.

Interesting that 5 of those 6 changes are the result of the R&A and USGA recently (January 1, 2026) announced changes/additions to authorized Model Local Rules. The other one is limiting the "relief" distance for lift, clean and place to one scorecard length from one club-length.

Think you could try a wedge Sharpie or a paint pen - check Amazon.

I think if you stay at a Kingask letting place, there's a significant discount on the Fairmont courses.

Try the Fairmont courses? And the Strathtyrum course is a great warmup.
