The contractors building our new 2nd green plus bunkering, approach, and approach fairway side mounding got most, if not all, of it done before the current deluge. They said they hoped to get it done in two months elapsed - and it looks like they will succeed.

Why I think we do not permit their use for qualifying scores - though as mentioned mats are permitted in a match if ALL players agree.

We don't (use is by choice) - and so I'm thinking that my club doesn't allow mats for club comps unless it's a KO match and all players in their match agree to their use.

I'm sure that in the previous long discussion on the matter (sorry o_O), I got to understand that you couldn't - that the mat had to be used in the way it was intended - so for instance that the spikes on the base of a Spurk were for the purpose of grip and so couldn't be used as a leveling...

Do tell me please that there are multiple typos in this…😵‍💫

During winter we will sometimes (often?...not sure) be able to set up the course to be WHS compliant - conditions and winter work often make that not possible - and on these days scores can be submitted. However I believe that use of my Spurk (or any other mat) is not permitted if I wish too...

Thankyou so much for your words. We told our lad ten years ago that she was toxic…bad news…but though he knew she had issues he wanted to stick with her - give her time to change…to grow up. In time she became totally dependent on him and he knew it. So even though he thought about knocking...

Golf is the hardest game; a game of very, very fine margins between modest success and abysmal failure. Up to the age of 63 I played with the swing I had developed and grooved from the age of 13. Well...I thought I had grooved my swing and that so it would for ever be. But then out of the...

My lad has been in a turbulent controlled relationship for 11 yrs. Three weeks ago whilst staying at her mum's she text-dumped him. He has been utterly gutted - and has tried to see if it is possible to patch things up - to no avail. It's been very difficult for him but me and his mum have...

I thought not (but not 100% sure) - any golf equipment has to be used in the manner for which it is designed - so for instance having the prongs in a Spurk mat not digging into the ground but sitting on it to level the mat, I believe is not permitted. There prongs are for gripping the ground...

All above I can agree with. But truth is when I posted about what the club was doing about ‘automated’ booking I thought it was incontrovertibly a good thing - after all is ‘tee booking problems’ not a recurring issue looking for a solution on here and at quite possibly every club around the...

Correct answer...whatever the club requests I adhere to - the important thing for me being consistency of positioning of rakes for all players in any bunker.

Having to justify my club trying to close an exploitable loophole in our tee-time booking system. Honestly.

I'm thinking that that's the case. The Perth FCU do the dressing in black thing but I think that they are pretty harmless - unlike current day evolution of the 80s casuals...and the Aberdeen mob were trouble.

St Johnstone has a ‘young team’. Fair City United. They are not huge in numbers - 50-75 most matches. They beat the drum and make a lot of noise. It can be irritating at times, but at other times they do bring life to what can be a pretty moribund East Stand at McDiarmid. That said they...
