Bonjour, Guillaume!

Autrefois, j'etais un etudiant de la francais. Mais, apres trop d'anees, j'ai perdu beaucoup des mots. Simplement, je n'oublie plus. J'espere que je suis comprenable.

Because my French skills have faded, I must switch over to English. I hope you are enjoying the winter in the mountains. And, hopefully you can play some golf once the snow melts.

Any chance you could find work at the new golf resorts in Germany when the economy gets better? (I know, the French and Germans don't always agree on things, but it's a thought.)

Focus, connect and follow through!

Thank you for your encouragement and pep talk at finding a new job. Yes it 's true the economic isn't really good here in europe, but except from China I don't know where it's utterly thriving!

WUTiger your French is still very good and "comprenable", don't worry, although the real word should be "compréhensible"!

You must be better than me in English with little practice.

To answer your question about the snow over here in my vicinity, it stays only in the mounts and summits where the sky resorts are.

Fortunatly down here in the valley we can play golf almost all year long, aside 2/3 weeks in the core of winter when the soils are deeply frozen or the snow stays on.

To end with the delicacy of situation with the Germans, yes , something stays awkward between us. But we are trying to go beyond that with our partnership. How do you do Americans with Japaneses ? A feeling of disloyalty is human, but the time helps to forget such bad things.

And you do not share a border with those people!

Luckily golf has no frontiers, no color, and is A culture and common religion if I am right. We all in France support Martin Kaymer for instance!

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
