Not sure that's strictly true. The Masters don't allow any on course commentators inside the ropes, and seeing as Riley doesn't do any commentary his role is rather obsolete.
Happy to stand corrected but never heard of him personally being banned

Riley himself mentioned this in his GM column, ref Augusta.

Believe there are three on course guys - one from a US Station , a guy from a radio ( think it’s the one for the area ) and believe Ken Brown does some as well - it’s not on every hole. Sky were believed to have asked to have Wayne Riley and was told no. Also remember someone mentioning that a number of the players aren’t that impressed with him.
As with yourself if wrong happy to be corrected - remember it all being talked about a couple years ( maybe last year )

If he isn't he should be for our sakes!
I know no media is inside the ropes at Augusta. No on course commentary other than standing amongst the public.
Ken has nothing more than the Sky guys do with regard to walking the course beforehand.
He's not banned, his role is literally redundant there.

Thanks, wasn’t aware of that, I know Gary McCord is banned, thankfully.

Not being able to play golf on father's day, coincidentally on the one morning it's good weather as there's a ladies comp on and can't play this afternoon as it's gonna rain again 😒
My daughter has turned 17 and she is starting to learn to drive. We bought L plates, magnetic. Irritatingly the back bumper is plastic, never thought of that, the hatchback boot doesn't have enough clear metal space for it to hold flat. I can't even stick it on the inside of the back window as it is tinted too dark 🤔. Plan D it is then.

Just annoying as they could have had it next week when they have a gap in the calendar imagine a men's comp closing the course in mothers day
I reckon you should suggest it and report back with your findings!
Personally think if they're going to close the course for a women's comp in the middle of the season fathers day is the best day for it. Ours has the 36 hole womens club champs today with men 2 ball slots available at a few times throughout the day.
Mens clubs champs last weekend, and 2 more board comps in next 3 weekends and would be annoyed if any of them were on fathers day.
Important family day to spend with the kid for me.

Our course is shortened to facilitate the laying of a track to ferry VIP's from the helicopter landing zone and small plane aerodrome behind our 5th hole. We were told the front nine was out of action (well holes 3-7) but the workmen didn't arrive until lunchtime and so we opted to play the back nine (not affected bar the 10th and 18th tees being moved right up) twice only to find out the front nine was fully open and we could have played as nirmal

Sea gull stuff. One has annointed my CLS. I wipe it off with a wet wipe, but this stuff is mega abrasive, and has really torn up the paint finish. 15 minutes with the Meguilars Ultimate, and nope, still scratched to blazes.
Golf, mine in particular 😬

Just had tomorrows MRI scan appointment cancelled 
, normally wouldn't be too irritating, but i had to withdraw from a booked 4bbb away open, at a venue we usually do quite well at .
I managed to get my usual PP a substitute, but now I'm left twiddling my thumbs, maybe it'll be cancelled due to thunder and lightning

The coverage of the US Open - it’s been “live†since 7 - we have seen more balls been hit on the range , players walking around the clubhouse , people playing with their dogs on the beach and then the commentators playing cricket on the beach ? - some golf from the host broadcaster would be nice
