I've said it before but how is Lydia Ko already not in the LPGA hall of fame - 20 wins, 2 majors, world number 1 for 90 plus weeks and all those age records broken as well as player of the year awards. Still only 26 she should be OK. Does make you wonder how many will make it into the hall of...

I heard Kane was still living in a hotel in Munich having currently got his tab up to £1m so may still be his only house. Poor soul, fancy being restricted to one.

Haven't read all so someone may have said it, but I don't think it's a case that joining fees only potentially dissuade joiners. They collect additional joining forms, but they also create a barrier to entry. Not played much last year, perhaps change of circumstances like pushing for a...

Just play, some golf is better than none and i've finished a few in the dark on trips - often the memories you think about. Will it be equal playing field if you've got fading light, probably not, but should still get 18 in.

I can't find the stat but i also saw that Fitz was the second lowest score in the singles but just had one of those opponents. Sure it was mentioned during the coverage this week so a loss isn't always due to poor play, in the same way a win isn't always a reflection of great play. Sometimes the...

I didn't see huge amounts but i found the 18th odd, that's a serious amount of run (30yds) the players had to play for when using a wedge!

I don't get the fall out on Meronk, he had a reasonable season and perhaps another time could have made it but we're talking about a 30 year old who has played in 6 majors and missed the cut in three. Very good for most but not exceptional enough to feel too hard done by for not getting a pick...

She's hit fairways on the first two but feels like her pre-shot routine isn't as fluid as normal. Just some signs of nerves that hopefully go as she gets into the round.

I see no difference to playing with a member i don't know or a visitor. Either could be taking their golf more seriously than the other depending upon their personality. We're not playing for big prizes, nice to let others play and if everyone is in a fourball then accepting slow pace of play...

Course looks nice but length of it currently seems to be keeping scores from being low. Charley, Nelly and Lydia Ko are the ones i'd always like to see do well. Charley's round with Rick Shields on youtube is good breaking 65 but interesting some comments where she took wedge rather than putter...

Slightly different but they do have the mixed relays in athletics and swimming now which i think are good and add a different dimension to tactics and how the race unfolds given the gap between the sexes. Would love to see a mixed matchplay (perhaps the presidents cup is the starting point) but...

I like women's golf, and Anne Van Dam has a very aesthetic swing, but i struggle to see any logic in this statement given she's 127 in the women's rankings and a very poor major record to assume she is then going to effectively improve ranking on the main tour to keep a PGA tour card. That's...

At least it sounds like your work on shot shape has been successful, those pretty much cover everything apart from straight ;)

I think there is just a different expectation as well as US/UK debate. Love Spieth but he's not at the heights of Rory regularly competing and winning so i don't think there is the expectation it's his to clinch (although I hope he does). I think with Rory always being in top 10, there felt...

But the point is that it isn't a problem to begin with for 95% of the members as they aren't teeing off at 7.30/live close to the course/not playing, so your effectively asking the green staff to play and notify earlier for the 1% at the club it impacts, which seems more important as that's...
