And the most important extra... buggy hire ?

We stay in the Sueno Deluxe which is a cracking hotel and 2 decent courses onsite so it keeps the cost down as well. Golf, hotels and transfers booked through Bilyani who are excellent to deal with. Over the years we’ve played Montgomerie Maxx, Carya, PGA National, Titanic, Pines and Dunes and...

You are the OP?

Because someone might steal it? I got a payment holiday this week from Jaguar for a PCP (they had an e-form to fill on their website-really easy). Interest is added to the total and needs paying at the end but I guess it’ll just be a few hundred quid more owed to the finance when I trade it in

Hook the bungee loop on to your bag with a carabiner or some other clip then just hook the Mat onto the loop keeping the grassy side towards your bag. It should be taut enough to not move. I’ll try and take a pic at the weekend.

Yes, it’s on their website. There’s plenty of other similar products that all are say they are R&A or USGA approved. They can’t all be telling fibs

I do fill in the “out” and “in” boxes at the end of each 9 and confirm the totals with the player but he was moaning that I didn’t do the subtraction of his handicap to give a nett score.

I had something similar a few weeks back. I had to leave pretty sharply after a round and as i was leaving the car park the bloke I was playing with came running out the clubhouse waving his arms at me to stop. I hadn’t marked down his gross and net totals (I never do) but he was insistent...

I don’t think he argued his point very well. The pitchmark probably wasn’t round because the ball enters it at an angle, moves forward through the ground and then jumps out, leaving an oblong indentation. It’s impossible to say from the video I saw that there was already an identical...

Looks to me like it popped up and then rolled back into the pitch mark. If they are saying it’s a pitch mark that was already there then where’s his pitch mark?

I’d wait until finding out the reason. If it’s a genuine reason and it’s an exceptional circumstance (family emergency etc) then the committee can rule that there’s no disqualification.
