we know it as lift, clean and place (not REplace) and we get 6" no nearer the hole

Me too - at one time I got into a bad habit of using what was available or just using a feature on the ground until my regular PP told me off and said I knew better - now its always a tee peg

Your footer profile doesn't say what make of brolly you use

that's why I asked - we always play the person who hit the shot plays first when on both green & fairway, but if he's the best putter leaving him to go last could be an advantage. a 4 man scramble is often won by the odd point .1 of a shot so just holing one extra can make a big difference. if...

please read the question as that's exactly what I'm asking - why does it matter who goes first on the green? every team always plays that the person who hit the shot goes first, its sort of an unwritten rule but why?

Id Agree totally. Theres a 'rule' we all adhere to, whereby the person who's shot you used has to play first everytime, which is fair enough on the fairway, but on the green I cant see a 'breach' with players putting in any order, because he may be a better putter that you'd rather have a look...

Everytime, and much cheaper too !!

An unusual situation happened to a pp when his ball came to rest (in bounds) within inches of the OOB grip between the fairway and practice area, however overhanging branches onto the course from a staked tree planted on the practice fairway impeded his swing. The local rules allowed for a drop...

I think too much is made out of what ball you use especially as a beginner. I've read tests where a selection of handicappers from scratch to 28 use a variety of hard/soft balls to see what difference they really make, and the consensus usually is not a lot. If you *think* it helps then possibly...

Thanks for the info - i'm not disagreeing or wanting to be argumentative lol, but it sounds reasonable to expect that if you get relief via a LR when you land in a bare patch, then its only a short hop to expect relief if one is just in front of you. there are no marked GUR areas as there would...

Thanks for the input, but while there are quite a number of these patches of various sizes on some of the greens, its not really difficult to find a line close by that avoids them. They are more an annoyance than rendering the course unplayable, taking full relief is usually possible. To my mind...

Hi Chris, for what its worth IMHO id say that putting mats are ok but not really like it is 'out there' id make the effort to get down to somewhere you can practice on a proper putting green, and also try improve your short game & chipping from 50 yds out, as most newbies ive seen throw a...

While just reading another thread where rule 25 came into play stating that a ball could be moved under no penalty if 'abnormal ground conditions' were evident, however this seems like it could be quite subjective as to what 'abnormal' means and to what degree. A few holes at our course have...

what's counter strike 1.6 and what does the hf part mean - no honestly :)

you definitely can't adjust a club during a round - you cant even put a piece of sticky tape on the top if the glare is distracting you
