Having a good round - 5 over but playing well enough and then I put my ball a little right at the 14th off my drive - not in any real trouble but just off the fairway. However, it's a little wet there and I was a little worried it would plug and disappear. True enough, walked up and the place is a fucking marsh and the ball is gone. Went back and played another and walked off with a 7. Game over. heads gone, next 4 holes are a bogey, treble bogey, par, bogey. it wasn't even a bad shot and the games ruined. I'm writing to the committee about that area of the course cause that shouldn't be happening when I was so far in play. After reading your post googled it and found this article. http://www.barryrhodes.com/2014/06/when-ball-is-lost-in-abnormal-ground.html?m=1 If it is known or virtually certain that a ball that has not been found is in an abnormal ground condition, the player may take relief under this Rule. If he elects to do so, the spot where the ball last crossed the outermost limits of the abnormal ground condition must be determined and, for the purpose of applying this Rule, the ball is deemed to lie at this spot ...

RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 What irons are we all using ? I use the AP1 2012s think it might be time for a new set for a wee while but don't mind my current irons. Like the look of the new AP1 and CB from Titleist also like a few sets from Mizuno and Callaway. Think it will be between they Titleist, Callaway and Mizuno.

Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Will do mate. I'm looking forward to it. Not played any of them so it'll be a fresh challenge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Was watching a pro on YouTube compare the new irons coming out it was Titleist AP2 and the new taylormades coming out 2 seven irons the loft on the taylormade was more like a six irons so it was going further. I think companies should be putting the loft on the bottom of the clubs as the number are becoming irrelevant if you are comparing them to other manufacturers anyone else agree ? Seems to be getting more regular. Not golfed abroad in a couple of years can't beat goring in the sun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
