I play a series called green golf events. Ok not run by a club but these are all qualifying singles with option of 4bbb on the day. These are always very well supported over 100 at some events. Maybe reason singles don’t get supported is the qualifying side, folk play pairs mopping up prizes off...

Contacted handicap secretary to ask why we were not applying the WHS way. Simple answer, too complicated and time consuming to work it all out. Mm will remember that when he asks why didn’t put card in for first qualifying medal lol.. not sure because something is difficult means you can just...

Hi. Just wondering if any clubs actually use the WHS handicap rules for a Texas scramble ? Ie, 25/20/15/10% and 30/20/20% for three man team. Our club persistently just says 10% of combined which was under the old system as far as remember. So should they use new way or does it not really matter...

I have a 5,7 and 9 wood. So much easier to hit than irons and hybrids, much more confidence stood over looking down. Mates all call 9 wood my grandad wood till I hit high soft landing ball to 10ft from 170yards.

I have been tasked by a friend of mines wife to recommend a course in the Cheshire or Manchester area to play as a xmas pressie. We have played a few round and about that area, and would rule out likes of Birkdale etc. Any one played Wallasey or Delemere recently? If anyone can give me a few...

My DD comes out on 1st, money went into my BG account today. No email nowt from BG as they are useless, have a major complaint with ofgem with them at moment.

Not sure if it’s me but there seems to be more and more clubs striping the greens, also on tv. I was always told by my head green keeper that stripes are for football pitches not greens. His theory was if u cut them with stripes the nap of the grass then creates different speeds depending on...

A week in a rented 1969 original V W camper van in the Lake District. No power steering, a 4 speed gear box, top speed 50mm down hill wind assisted, but the looks and waves from everyone were amazing. The weather helped but wife and I had so much fun being in such a classic on some fantastic...

Why is it high handicappers always get slated when they have that one good day we all have at some point, but scratch golfers never do. Point in question. Monthly stableford win by 43 handicap with only 10 cards in gets slated when wins with 49 points. Same week guy on +2 hits a gross 64 , new...

As an addition to this. My PP hit his ball into a wooded area it must of hit a tree and came to rest in the base of a fallen tree due to wind damage. Completely playable. So could he of taken a free drop due to the tree being in an un-natural position ? Was it an loose impediment even though...

I have had a 52 deg zipcore for a while and love it. You get so much grip with it even on short round the green shots. Used to have a Vokey and think the zip core is better.

The Uk economy is doomed. We have become a society of champagne life style when sadly paid lemonade wages. Then it’s everyone mainly the governments fault they are in trouble. No responsibility, no common sense. There was a professor on sky news not long after the first lockdown, who was asked...
