    I’m convinced people just like to moan about slow play for the sake of it...

    And while we are at it, if a tractor comes on the road doing 10 mph we should all just queue behind it. ? I agree with the priniciple on a packed course with no space and nowhere to go, but if a faster group is behind and space is clear ahead of you they absolutely should be let through. Ive...

    Shots within 50 yards

    You'd include them all in that. Its a fairway stat, others are available for rough etc. If u notice u struggle of bad or awkward lies, its something to work on and if practically all your bad ones are coming off bad lies its a big clue. Iffy lies may requure a different technique or be showing...

    Pro-Rata year 1 membership rates?

    Its a difficult time and if as one example the clubs current members are struggling to get a game it could be understood. Nov to nov presents an issue i'd expect them to value the months of summer more with that set up under normal circumstances and so a pro rata rate been based on that and not...

    Different balls for the pros

    Then the problem is just shifted down the line, when playing the tier below elite amateur events... Easier and fairer to just change something for all. The effect of equipment on technique is huge, edit while there at it they can decrease the size of them drivers so they are not as forgiving on...

    Different balls for the pros

    Against You'd either be giving amateurs an advantage in majors (you'd end up with the professionals been swizzed in as professional amateurs) with a different ball or a disadvantage if they had to switch just for a pro tournament. Plus technique changes based on equipment as does other...

    Shots within 50 yards

    Ok so its ratios too with every other club so your doung that anyway, just work out your own ratio. Pick a landing zone, mark it out with tee pegs or whatever and chip and see how far it rolls out. Repeat with other clubs. Move landing zone and recheck Its useful to minimise spin and use...

    10 minute intervals

    As i read the guidance its a minimum of 10 minutes but more can be allowed. If u have a lot of members a high demand for tee times and starting from 1 and 10 is feasable then a two tee 9 hole only starting option may work. I'd be concerned of clubs ignoring the guidelines and risking censure...

    Why Is Golf On The Decline?

    I'm trying to figure out if hedge hoping might create issues when we get playing again. Could make a mockery of spacing out tee times and potentially cause a bit of aggro. Most places have a few ardent hedge hoppers and most do get in others way. Could muck up contact tracing unless that is a...

    When do you think you will next play golf?

    It would be quite easy if we're only allowed out with a tracker app and bluetooth on. They loved fines to raise revenue.

    I might be able to play pitch & putt!

    When you see someone with no hands or forearms for that matter making a swing with a full L shape and playing off single figures, you can see how much can be done with body motion. The inside moves the outside as Hebron would say. Pivot is body control, think of Hogans five lessons pictures...

    When do you think you will next play golf?

    No they are affecting everybody they come into contact with afterwards and everybody they come into afterwards and so on. I would expect and hope every activity where social distancing doesn't get followed to get banned.

    Draw bias driver

    There are different types of draw bias drivers. Offset which give you more time to square the face. Very dependant upon release pattern as to whether it would help. Closed face. Again if u dont like the look and a lot dont, you'll not necessarily get any benefit as you'll just open it up. An...
