Unplayable lies: Know the three relief options
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 04/02/2026
» You have basically three options if your golf ball finds itself in an unplayable lie. An unplayable lie allows a golfer to take relief almost anywhere on the course but comes with a one-stroke penalty, excluding penalty areas. The player is the sole judge of whether a ball is unplayable. The 3-options for relief are -- stroke-and-distance, back-on-the-line, or lateral relief within two club-lengths of where the ball is at rest.
Single mistake can end your tournament
Sports, Published on 25/12/2025
» Signing your scorecard after you've finished your round is more than just a formality; it directly impacts the outcome of a round. A small error in confirming your score can lead to serious consequences, including disqualification from the tournament. In stroke play tournaments, a player's score is recorded by a marker after each hole. After completing the round, the marker must verify the score by signing, initialing, or marking the scorecard. However, the responsibility of totalling the score and performing other calculations lies with the tournament committee, not the marker.

Old tricks and new science in green reading
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 27/08/2025
» I have to be honest and say that the 'Feet Feeling Method' for finding the break in a putt has never excited me. This involves using your feet to feel the slope of the green while you walk around it. The Plumb Bob Method in finding the line of any putt involves using your putter as a plumb line to judge the slope. To do this, you need to stand behind your ball, at a right angle to the hole, and hold up your putter so it covers the ball. Then, you align the shaft of your putter with the ball. If the shaft seems to tilt to one side, it indicates that the green also slopes in that direction and you then allow for this.
