A quick spin through the 10th (the famous Gibraltar) at @MoortownGC during the @EnglandGolf Captains event. Not so spectacular for me, but check out the celebrations at the end for a 2! 🏌️♂️⛳️
Is it time to change the rules at club level? nationalclubgolfer.com/rules/golf-wat…
It's already causing carnage and we're only a couple of hours into The Open...
When a hole forces players into survival mode from the first swing, is that good strategy or golfing Russian roulette? nationalclubgolfer.com/rules/royal-po…
There are some rules that are just for The Open... nationalclubgolfer.com/rules/open-rul…

This was a first for me. A situation where I could play under my Course Handicap and my WHS Index would still go up... nationalclubgolfer.com/whs/whs-increa…
A little poll for a Wednesday afternoon: Since April 2024, betterball scores in competitions have been able to count for handicap. Has that made any difference to the way they're being run - and won - at your club? Any anecdotes would be very well received...
Any more for this? The more of you who vote, the more info I can take to governing bodies...

This is why the Sam Burns ruling at the US Open was absolutely correct nationalclubgolfer.com/tour/us-open/s…
Don’t worry, Shane. We’ve all done it. nationalclubgolfer.com/rules/golf-bal…
Would you consider this 'unreasonable'? nationalclubgolfer.com/rules/unreason…
Some of these numbers are just bonkers. nationalclubgolfer.com/tour/us-open/h…
Well, @MoortownGC has mastered me again. Honestly, though, how good is this course? The recent changes have made it even better! Love the 5th now. Thanks to @EnglandGolf for the invite to their Captain’s event. The day was memorable even if my scoring wasn’t… 🏌️♂️⛳️
This was sort of as good as it got at the @EnglandGolf Captains at Moortown. You can’t turn up as guest and win though, can you?
Looking forward to the @EnglandGolf Captain’s event at @MoortownGC today. It’s the Yorkshire Rose - but what will I score?
Tommy Fleetwood’s ball overhanging the hole caused an internet stir. But what do the rules say? And why is “reasonable time” so important? ⏳ 🔗 ow.ly/aVsi50W0Cq5
