I recently paid £15 for a Footjoy glove from my Pro and teased him I could get 2/3 from Sports Direct at that price. It lasted about 6 games before the little finger split on the inside of the finger. I got it replaced but my Sports Direct gloves have lasted longer.

Does mud, sand, grass, squirrel *** stuck to your club face during a round count as altering my club face characteristics? This is a bit like "You've got a big lump of crap on the end of your club" and when your opponent examines the club face you say "Not that end."

I'm leasing a new Skoda Ocatavia automatic for £90pm (£2400 down). I spotted the deal with an online leasing company at £85pm initially (24 months, 8000pa) Whilst I later browsed the Skoda site the Chatbox came up. I asked if they could match the deal - after a pause I was told I'd get a call...

Gentlemen, I was the OP so wish to thank you for the replies. (I'd forgotten my password and in the process got registered as a newbie - since corrected) I emailed the ruling to my three playing partners on the day. One replied thanking me and the other two remained silent. They are the same two...

So would you challenge me for doing it? Surely you're just saying "It might be legal but I don't like it".

In one of my very first comps I had a small gallery on the first and was bricking myself. My drive hit the clubhouse and ricocheted several times then I followed up with two air shots. My playing partner walked over and said quietly "For ***** sake, calm down!" I finally hit my next shot clean...

As a newcomer some years back I realised in one game that my opponent was remarkably adept at finding his lost balls once he'd asked me to play on whilst he had "one last look". I've played air shots/duffed shots, usually amongst the trees, that others haven't noticed but always declared them...

Thanks for the posts. I tried a different lead - a Kindle lead fits - but to no avail. The GolfBuddy lead charged the Kindle ok. I've left it with the "retailer" - my Club Pro. He wants to see the problem for himself and if it can't be solved he'll deal with GolfBuddy. He rang me to tell me the...

. You have an AstroTurf carpet in the lounge!! I struggle with my laminate flooring :(

Title says it. I've started to have problems charging it. It's just over a year old. When charging properly the battery icon should constantly move from 1 to 4 bars until the icon eventually shows solid. My icon now turns solid in a very short time but when removed from the charger it's no...

Thanks for the replies.

A&B v C&D. C plays B's ball and it's noticed immediately when B identifies C's ball a few yards away. Is it forfeit of hole for both C and D?

Thanks for the replies everyone. If my Pro can't match them then I know I'll be able to use them with confidence.

I found it strange in that I can buy the bag online from many suppliers, although not at that price.

No, I get my Pro to do them :o From their website they're definitely upscaling.
