Can you have an infinite number of………….anything? Contradiction of terms?

And as someone said, somewhere, “If it’s just us, it’s an awful waste of space.”

“ once by moving it forward about 30 yards“ Good Lord, how could you do that and hope to get away with it? I don't understand why people want to play golf and not want to play to the rules. Apart from newcomers to the game, you know what is expected. I know that sticking to the rules is a pita...

Yes. I have one, with a senior shaft. I have it dialled back to 7 wood loft. I also got the 9 wood st the same time. The two best clubs I ever bought. I’m over 80 ,mind… they have replaced my irons, and how!

I think it has always been like that for Pro tournaments. The time taken to assess shots ( with caddy advice), and looking at putts from all angles. The care taken is understandable. Imagine the club weekly comps taking the same care😳 So, , do you want them to go faster without the assessment...

Unbelievable isn’t it?

Chelsea v Man City. Saw last two mins of 1st half. Arms round Semenyo at corner. Come on ref, a split second after the ball is kicked for that corner, he should whistle for a pen.. Letting this sort of behaviour go on is not on. Putting it politely.

And that doesn’t happen now?. Come on, the people that would try to do that are the same ones who wouldn’t walk back to their previous shot location, but would drop one. If in a group that doesn’t turn a blind eye, it would be difficult to drop too far away. 250 yds?. So many people? So...

This exactly. With his length he can afford to hit 3 wood and be more accurate. It was painful to watch , him not seeming to realise his need to rein back. He had 89 yds , and his swing still looked 100%. Result suggested that. Time for the unthinkable? Leave driver out the bag for the last round?

Yes, descent angles and all that.

I agree about Fleetwood, but Rosey is a different personality, reserved in what he says, but just as genuine.

Much as I’m glad Rory got his green jacket,I’d like to see Rosey or Tommy Fleetwood win it, preferably Rosey. With two rounds to go, Rory slipping back could be gradual. I wouldn’t want a scenario where the wheel comes off big time. That would be cruel.

No, being brief has given the wrong idea of my take on what it should be. You are right that it shouldn’t be a rule replacing the present one, for all competitions within the sport. So I withdraw my original suggestion, but not the wanting for the R&As wishes to be complied with and not for...

Well said. I’m not criticising the local rule at all. All would have been fine if Clubs had adopted it as and when. The reason I advocated it being made a rule, as opposed to a local rule, was so that the handicap lot wouldn’t have been able to “veto” it, which is what they have effectively done….

Looking at our fairways yesterday, with ban on mats and always open for play whatever the weather, the divots have been breeding…….and using viagra to do it!
