WHAT IS BEST GOLF APRALLEL FOR THE FULLER FIGURE. (DARREN CLARKE SIZE) PTER MILLAR AND POLO SEEMS OK BUT IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? ALL THE SHOPS SEEMS TO STOCK IS GEAR FOR THE YOUNG AND SLIM

ladies 7 iron and or 6 and 5 iron. My daughter (17) left her 7i on the practice rang and it got taken. It was part of a mcgregor beginners package set

I asked the question the guidance is clear you should ensure the ball is marked and lifted. Ignoring the rule and guidance is not a penalty it’s DQ under 1.2 because u are deemed to have deliberately ignored the rule that is there to protect all the competitors

The guidance is the ball should be marked if there is a risk of any player getting an advantage by leaving it in place. Therefore B should give A the opportunity to mark if B believes he wants to hit the ball towards the flag. If B doesn’t wait and his ball subsequently hits A’s ball then B is...

I agree but they are the rules and the reason it’s not widely publicized is because it undermines the whole Logic of leave the flag in To speed up play. However it was being misused by better players in club comps. I play with an old coyote in a buggy he will have played before I get there...

That’s the rule! if the green is 20yds wide and u are Pin high but 10 left off the green and your partner pin high but 10 right he will probably be 40yards away from you. Whoever plays first must then go up and mark the ball if it is at risk of providing a backstop and for the other player. In...

It’s my understanding that if a player off the green does not allow or ask other players in the group to mark their ball to avoid benefiting potential unfair advantage over the rest of the field by leaving the potential risk of a backstop in place then the player is DQ for ignoring the whole...

Yes because ignoring it is unfair on the rest of competition. He has made the choice wait until it’s marked or take unfair advantage

Yes but if the argument was leave flag in to speed up play fair enough but this slows it down again but has the benefit of removing a possible advantage not available to all competitors. If you walked up to mark ball u may as well tend the flag

B got into hole in 3 had A been given opportunity to mark it would have been 4 or more. Thankfully B didn’t win by 1 shot

It’s only guidance because it totally undermines leaving the flag in whilst putting which is in its self another backstop

therefore there is no penalty or is the fact that player b ignored the ‘guidance’ and therefore should be DQ

Player A who is aware of new guidance on backstopping chips up to flag 2ft from hole then turns to put wedge back & get putter & mark ball. meanwhile B 40yrds away on opposite side of green plays his shot & thins it a bit but hits A’s ball and stops 3ft from hole. A is perplexed as he was never...
