    Rory McIlroy comp live!

    I can't think of a better way to spend my 40th birthday than to be playing 18 with Rory - what a talent & I'm sure I can learn a couple of things of the young whippersnapper ! ;)

    ruling please....

    You can only hit a provisional if you believe your ball is lost anywhere 'outside a water hazard'. As soon as the second ball was played it was the ball in play (his 3rd shot). As he then played his original he lost the hole (matchplay) or played the wrong ball from a wrong place (strokeplay)...

    What's your favourite local rule?

    On a dogleg hole on one course in South Wales (can't remember which one) there is a sign on the tee that says something like "It is forbidden to attempt to drive the green". I think the reason is that there is a road on the inside of the dogleg but it's not exactly a fair rule ! What if someone...

    Recommend a Driver / Fairway woods (not a survey! ;) )

    Turning a blind eye is a slightly different discussion but what I'm trying to say is that using a non-conforming club should not be seen as 'less cheating' than any other rule in the book. How can we have different levels of cheating ? No-one can claim they are not aware of the rules, it can't...

    Believe it or not we actually attempt to get it back in play with a golf club ! If that means we add a shot or 2 (or more) to our score then so be it. After all, that is the point of the game. If you were playing darts you wouldn't stand 2 foot from the board, or if you were playing tennis you...

    "They will be permitted on bounce games & non-competitive golf" I'm new on here but I don't think this is in the spirit of the game. They will be against the rules no matter what form of golf you are playing. Do you ignore every other rule when playing with friends ? If so, why bother playing...
