Questions
Golf questions, answered.
Short, direct answers to the things golfers actually ask: scoring formats, handicaps, the terms on the card, and the etiquette that keeps a round enjoyable for everyone.

Why we answer golf questions here
We make golf gifts, not golf content: but you can't mark a round properly without knowing what actually happened in it. These are the questions that come up most: what a score's called, how a handicap is worked out, what's allowed and what's just custom. Once you know what you're commemorating, our golf gifts and personalised course prints put it on the wall.
