There should be a world golf tour for the top 200 players.

The Australian Open is, and should remain, an irrelevant tournament.

Hardly a strong opinion, our pro breaks 70 most of the time

If you’d have said wouldn’t break 80 I would have agreed entirely ?

Driver shafts make 0 difference to handicap golfers. (Don't tell WRX)

I find until you get to elite ams the average scratch or low capper is often very underwhelming as you are expecting something close to what you see on the TV. In general just similar to 5/6 handicappers with more time/drive to practice.

Players who want to get up and drive an hour to the golf course, and then try rush round as quick as possible without having time to chat to their playing partners, and then rush back home to wife, should go to the Gym instead

What if they rush to someone else's wife whose husband is playing a 5 hour round ?
A 5 hour round - sounds like a H4H day

For 9 holes ?

Collarless tee shirts and hoodies belong in skate parks.
Preferred lies on fairways all year round, you shouldn’t be penalised for hitting the middle of the fairway only to land in a divot which you have to hack out of only to further damage the course.
2 shots on any par three deserves a stoning.
There needs to be a membership category for once a weekend golfers that still allows comp access. Some just don’t get the benefit of a seven day membership and this will hurt the game and clubs long term.

Isn’t that on you as the expector though? Scratch golfers I know are under no illusion that they are closer to a 20 handicapper than they are a tour pro.
A scratch golfer is also considerably better than a 5 handicapper

Golf is, in the main, discriminatory and oppresses many groups in society.
Custom fitting is a product sold by fraudsters and bought by golfers who have more money than inclination to practice.
There are as many golf pros who can teach well as those who cannot.
Golf clubs are a place to hit balls, not socialise every day.
Once you’ve read one golf magazine, you’ve read them all.
There is nothing interesting watching golfers win tournaments with a score of -25.
Playing in good company is more important than playing well.
The forum is better without politics, a great place to arrange games, and I’ve only met one person from here who I thought was a complete knob.

Not much there that I don't agree with.
