If all these managers believe in “footballing “ goalkeepers and defenders more interested in passing sideways and backwards than forwards long to initiate attacks, then boring dangerous football will continue and so will their bad results. These managers are like suitcases on an airline...

Floats?

Well, yes, it applies to where the fairway runs close to the green, not necessarily all the way up to. I’m thinking of bunkers across nd around, or water across front of ,green or just a very narrow run in. Clearly, the ones where it’s ‘jungle’, water or big trouble all the way to the green...

That’s interesting that you see it that way, whereas I see it opposite 😁 I envisage a shot to fly the green, and the right distance club ( CB or blade) will get you there if struck well. If badly struck, I’m thinking it’s more likely neither club would get you to the green, whereas you think...

From what I read it’s more about what to eat and drink and what not to eat and drink as well as clean hands etc

Thanks for the replies fellas.Very interesting views. I agree you can hit further with a forgiving club than a blade if it isn’t a good strike, but that was the point I was trying to make. If your green approach is 120 yds and your bad strike, intending to fly 120, flys 80% as far then you are...

Just a thought to while away these rainy days. I am a 20 Cap, but used to be 11. I’m also old But recently I dug out some old blades, with which I’ve been having some fun. I’ve never consistently been a proper iron striker, more of a ‘picker’, but recently I’ve got better at ‘divot after’...

Interesting that some choose a least favourite for “throwing a club”. A thrower may be ok really? There’s a quote on the board in my club’s changing room. By Craig Stadler, when asked why he had a new putter. “Cos the other didn’t float too well “ Always brings a smile!

Yes , must be, surely. It just goes on and on. Got two hobbies golf and fishing. The latter hasn’t been even attempted for ages. Be forgetting how to do it soon😁

Hope they got that right re conceding in stroke play. If not, I’ve had an awful thought. If he wasn’t allowed to concede, has Hill had a DNF. And if so, what does that mean? For clarity, I think and hope it should be that he could concede ( pointless going on) . But I always understood you...

Middle forties, and a round like that. Justin Rose….. Such a class act in many ways

It’s not a question of that. It’s whether to accept that a putt hit hard enough to go one foot past will sometimes go in. A putt hit not hard enough to reach will never go in. The question is NOT …..which is the better way to miss.?

Well, it would be interesting to ask them😁 It’s fair to say that Pros do work hard to work on attaining ,and working to , exact distances for their irons, especially wedges.

To the O P’s question, yes it is. I often feel better after throwing a fit when I make a stupid shot😊

But , which is the better putt to make, is surely the question that matters. On that basis a putt long enough to go in will go in sometimes. A putt not long enough will never go in. And this from someone who is mostly too short than too long. Much as I keep tellingly myself to make sure I’m...
