Friday Feedback: An update on Local Rules. Blind Par 3's - good or bad? And when Jack Newton drank Mark under the table.

A Friday Feedback pod today, plenty of comments and questions from you.....hopefully a bit more sedate after the drama of yesterday's Mean Tweets episode....brutal....

00:00:00 We have an update on the discussion on the 'rake and replace' local rule from last weeks show.

00:05:00 Couple of comments on the chat last week about the 2009 Australian Open when Mark was absolutely crueled by official Trevor Herden, and a fun story about Tommy Fleetwood from wolfpacker Pete.

00:06:00 Kal from Winnipeg has written in with an observation about the ultimate 'slow play' partnering of Tour Pros.

00:07:00 Mark tells the story of the worst 2-shot penalty he ever received, he's still dirty about it.

00:08:00 A wolfpacker asks Mark to retell his story from Texas about the college students stealing the flags as part of a hazing ritual.

After the turn:

00:11:30 A bunch of suggestions for great course/clubhouse combos after last weeks chat about it.

00:15:00 An update on the 13th Beach Duck Spring Roll disaster.

00:16:30 Mark tells a story about getting poleaxed with the legendary Jack Newton at the Dunvegan

00:19:30 Recently we spoke about the Top 5 holes architects would be 'fired' for if they tried them today, wolfpacker Tom has some additions to the list.

00:20:30 Mark fails to learn from past experiences and goes to Grok again. It ends as well as you'd expect.

00:22:30 And we finish with a chat about the merits (from Mark) and frustrations (from Nick) of short blind Par 3 holes.

Keep the feedback coming, we love it!
