With winter upon us I have noticed that the greenkeepers have cut holes in the winter greens quite close to the summer ones. What is the ruling if your ball lands in one of these uncovered holes, is the ball dead how can you complete the hole?

I'd be interested to know how much debt these guys get themselves into chasing the dream. How long do you keep trying before enough is enough? Golf can be so cruel, the number of ex-Major winners who've fallen by the road side lost their Tour card and ended up playing on the minor tours. A...

You could try my course Heysham, but what about going the other way and playing Silloth. I've yet to play it but heard only good things about it.

The Silent Mind by Robin Siegler. It had immediate results once I put his exercises to good use.

With some beautiful views of the follies overlooking the course.

I tried these drills last night, and couldn't do anything but draw the ball. Thank you experts.

As we all know keeping your balance is key to making a good golf swing. However I find myself becoming off balance on the follow through namely, over on my toes as opposed to back on my heels which is where I feel I should be. I know this caused by coming over the top - does anyone have any...

I bought the Silent Mind last week and start to use the meditation CD. I went on my next mid-week medal and shot my personal best (83) with a triple bogey on a par 5. I'm going to keep up the exercises and I hope for more to come. How many of us train our bodies but neglect our minds, which...

Turton isn't expensive dude, admittedly tucked away so you have to think of travel but i'd be surprised if Old Links was cheaper.

Turton GC. A real test and will improve your golf. Great greens, some of the best players in Bolton play there. Most of the BGA final players are from Turton. The members are friendly and will make you feel welcome.

We saw a guy on Sunday, hole out then drop his ball again and proceed to practice putt on the 8th green in a Stableford competition, is this allowed? Some said yes, I would have thought no, what is the correct answer?

What changes do you need to make, to make the ball pitch and stop as opposed to it pitching and releasing to the hole?

Just finished that one too, amazing.

"No Hiding in the Open" by John Hoskinson. I'm reading the sequel to it now and to not give away the twist in the tale I won't tell the title. I emailed John after reading it to tell him what a fabulous book it was and I got a reply almost straight away. He is playing on the Seniors Tour now...

Our bunkers are what you might call Goldilocks bunkers. Some have too much sand and some have too little sand and some are just right. Can one you experts tell me the different ways one should approach a bunker with a great deal of sand as opposed to one with the merest dusting of powder upon it?
