  • The Latest Questions For Hadyn:

    Was It A Bunker?

    Hi Hadyn,

    Any comments on this article?   (If you read it, click back to get Haydn's take.)

    Comments on this article?

    Essentially the article deals with the ruling regarding grounding the club in the "bunker" at the recent PGA tournament.   The author is critical, which prompted me to ask Haydn for his thoughts.

    Then I asked Haydn a question unrelated to golf.   Did American colonists speak with a British accent?   Here is an answer.

    Best regards,

    Hi Don,

    Away ogling at grand daughters last week.........

    I have no doubt that the colonists spoke with an English accent - except for the French, Italians, Spanish, Scandinavians etc. etc!!

    I was horrified by the inflexibility of the rules officials at Whistling Straits - I agree entirely with the article; the area was not a bunker within the difinition in the rules of golf!!

    Best regards,

    Hadyn
