He is an Oaf. I have never forgiven him for describing Irish woman as ugly before the Walker Cup in 1991 (the one that Sussex's own Gary Evans played in). I don't hold a grudge for very long or anything. :whistle:

He was several feet away for a start and using the correct part of the putter to make the stroke. Hooking your putter around the ball to push/pull it back into the hole is very different as you are not using the correct part of the putter and would only happen from a few inches away from the...

Any head greenkeeper worth their salt would never shave the greens like they do at the US Open without being forced to do so. Won't stop them getting the blame though, but I would be surprised if anyone got the chop for it. The R&A would never ask a club to do that anyway as they are not as...

UK links courses do not usually have ultra fast greens though and have been designed for the prevailing weather conditions, so they may get tricky but not usually unplayable. The USGA LOVES tricking up the US Open courses - they do it most years as they seem to have an adversion to sub-par golf...
