Did you know if your ball lies on the green, and is no more than five feet from the hole, there is a Rule of Handicapping that allows you to pick it up and add a stroke to your score?
In this week's From the Clubhouse podcast, in association with TaylorMade Golf, Steve Carroll and Tom Irwin delve deeper into the concept of 'most likely score', which can be used when a hole is started but a player does not hole out.
They consider how it's employed in match play and fourball formats, Tom talks about his experience of it dominating golf in the USA and the pair consider if we ever might see it come into force in the UK.
Elsewhere, the duo look back over events at St Andrews where a bit of paving close to the historic Swilcan Bridge sent social media into meltdown, and brought an ultra-quick about-turn, and Steve gets a dressing down from Tom for his post hole-in-one etiquette. Was he wrong to not get the drinks in when he had an ace?
It's bound to be controversial and, as always, we'd love to hear your views!

On the hole in one drinks discussion; I had a hole in one in 2010 on a corporate golf day at Sickleholme. Was my 3rd. The host was sat on my table at dinner. When the presentation was made I never got a mention, rather the host just talked about losing control of his Powakaddy. Thankfully a free bar so no drinks purchase required but even if it hadn’t been I wouldn’t have got a round in after no mention. Whenever I see the guy that invited me I remind him of it. 😀
