When you reach your handicap target for the season, you'll be happy.

This is me.

I originally set my target to break 20 this year........ I'm now at 18

I'll bet you now want to be off 15?

15 Maximum

In a ll seriousness, If I get any lower this season I'll be chuffed.

95% of putts that are short don't go in the hole.

That full handicap difference is a fair way of playing matchplay golf

 

[Doc]

That 3/4 Difference is fair in matchplay.

 

[HRC99]

Custom-fitting is worth every penny.

Galvin Green gear is over-priced.

That 3/4 Difference is fair in matchplay.

That full difference is fair in matchplay.

Smiffy is a proper golfer

Nike don't make their own clubs!

Nike balls are actually Bridgestone/Titleist (take your pick) stamped with a Nike logo.

Ping are only played by old farts!

CSS is fair and a good thing......

The "nearest point of relief" means you should have a good lie with a free swing and a shot to the green - see Definitions in the Rules

No it doesn't, or is this you stating the urban myth?

Just to clarify that's me stating the the myth. The real definition is in the rules and if it means you have to drop your ball in a clump of cabbage behind a tree then tough luck that's where you drop it.

Also in case of ambiguity it's not a myth that "Most non-golfers still think golf balls have miles of elastic bands wound up inside them" - I meant most non-golfers believe the myth that that's how they are still made. It didn't quite come out right but I'm sure you all know what I mean.

Just confusing because some of your statements where correcting urban myths and some weren't. Would have been very surprised if you had been putting that forward as correct procedure though Mashie. Although sometime I wish it were true!

Trees are 80% space,

 

[goldenbare]

low handicappers on the forum take a lot of notice of the tips/advice given by the high handicappers

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Despite what Mrs Hawkeye thinks, I'm not always thinking about golf

 

[Swinger]

It always goes in second time.

If we all hit the provisionals first we wouldn't need to hit the first ball.

I use to be able to play this poxy game

Golf is an urban myth! Well it is the way I play. So there!!
