Golf 2017
Villa Lew:
I thought I would be the first to begin Golf 2017.
News so far, R&A are proposing rule changes. Some of them for club golfers are, you can only spend 3 mins looking for your balls instead of 5, you will be able to putt out on the green with the flag in the new hole, there will be no penalty for moving loose impediments in a hazard and players will be able to ground their club everywhere except in the bunker, when having a free/penalty drop you can drop the ball one inch from the ground rather than from shoulder height and there is no penalty if you accidentally move your ball.
Other news Tiger has still not completed 4 rounds of golf in competitive plan and Rory has played a round with President Trump.
Finally one more rule I didn't tell you about is you can now only clean your balls once during a round!

By all means have an onsite TV umpire/referee to review reports from players/on-course officials but reports from the public should not be acted upon

Agreed. And your mates Kornheiser and Wilbon made the very good point yesterday that the only reason this was even spotted by a TV viewer was because she was the focus of the cameras all weekend because of who she is. 99% of the other players didn't get nearly the air time she did.

Masters week!
Spieth is my main bet along with Lefty. A couple of quid on Bill Haas and Gary Woodland.
