This presents the problem, do you play with and risk losing a good ball, or do "run the gauntlet". Don't you just love the little darlings!:evil: :roll: Loved your views on a round at the Royal Colombo, I play at Brackley, we call it Royal Brackley Country Club and Spa, which is about as far from a true description of a course as you can get, we too have ball collectors but these are the little “scamps” from the surrounding council estate, their party piece however is, if they are not impressed with your ball to wait until you start to pass through a narrow section of one of the fairways then throw the ball back at you.

Glenn: The 7-iron tip was for shots from off the green, up to 10-20 feet, that did not involve overcoming a bunker or small depression or obstacle. It involved using the same stance as a putt, same stroke as a putt and enough weight to get the ball on to at least the fringe of the green. The 7 iron goes right under the ball. But remember, there's no swing, it's like a putting stroke. It worked for me.

Part of his job is to help you with the rules and etiquatte of the course. Nice that he helped you with the 7 iron versus the wedge. Did you think of hitting into the man in the fairway waving at you?:twisted: You say you had an excellent caddy. Part of his job is to help you with the rules and etiquatte of the course.
