Are you sure about this? Not protesting against Brexit? :rolleyes:

I assume "they" refers to aliens. I can't work out what book you are referring to, it must be a comic or some other book with big pictures.

Loads of countries. If you think about it, loads of countries have fierce divisions based on ethnic or religious background. It's led to civil war, genocide, partition. Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, Myanmar are all recent examples. Many many more.

Why is 10 a terrible hole?

Do you spend your life waiting for people to tell you what to do? If you try and think for yourself you might find that you are a victim less frequently.

West course at Wentworth starts and ends with par fives (although the pros play the first as a par 4). I quite like starting with a par 5, you get an opportunity to recover from a poor tee shot. Probably says more about my typical opening tee shot :ROFLMAO: Closing with a par 5 can be great as...

If you use howdidido or intelligent golf, the stats are all there for each competition. I occasionally look at it when I am checking my result. It's interesting to see little changes, e.g. when the field finds a typically easy hole much tougher due to a tricky pin placement.

Statistically, the par fives are the easiest holes at my club. The long par fours are the hardest. The par threes are in the middle. I find par threes often represent a hard par but easy bogey. I'm quite likely to miss the green from 180 yards, but then it's a question of whether I can get up...

You're probably ok as long as you don't lick each others balls :censored:

I know dryjoys are very popular, but when I've tried them on I've found them to be incredibly heavy and not particularly comfortable. Golf shoes are a funny product. If you started with a blank slate and a design brief to develop a pair of shoes for a 4 hour walk around a park in all weather...

Fair to say that none of these courses make the UK top 100. 2010 probably scrapes into the top 10 in Wales. Belfry probably in the top 100 in England; FoA, Close House and Hanbury definitely not. But that's not the point. These courses are all long modern layouts in excess of 7,000 yards, built...

As others have mentioned, the costs vary hugely. Course: natural links with free draining sandy soil and fine links grasses is much easier to maintain. Some even have sheep grazing to reduce the need for mowing! A parkland course needs more maintenance because it is either too wet or too dry...

Agree on the tax front, it's ok for the journeymen but they will struggle to attract the big names. Also fair to say golf struggles to attract sponsors in the UK. It's just not fashionable / cool / diverse enough. There was another thread about this UK swing only a few days ago. Don't know why...

Will you bring your own balls?
