Clock golf is a game based on golf, originating in the mid 19th century. Players putt a golf ball from each in turn of 12 numbered points arranged in a circle as in a clock face, to a single hole placed within the circle. Alternative names include Clock-Golf, Round the Clock Golf, and Golf Around the Clock.

The game has often been offered to hotel guests as an entertainment. A 1905 print of "Clock golf at the Royal Palm [Hotel], Miami, Fla" is held by the Library of Congress,[11] and in 1909, The New York Times reported that 30 guests, both ladies and gentlemen, had taken part in a clock golf tournament at the Pocono Mountain House hotel at Mount Pocono.[12] A 1925 advertisement for a hotel in Bournemouth, England offers "Croquet, Clock Golf, Billiards, etc."[13] while in 2016, a hotel in Scarborough, England says that "the children's play area, clock golf and putting green, provide plenty of fun activities for children of all ages"[14] and at one in Silkeborg, Denmark, "You can also avail yourself of clock golf or the ptanque court."[15]

English novelist E. F. Benson makes reference to clock golf in Chapter 8 of his novel Lucia in London (1927) in the Mapp and Lucia series. Daisy and Robert Quantock are playing the game on their lawn.

British novelist P. G. Wodehouse makes reference to country house lodgers playing clock golf in Summer Moonshine (1937).[citation needed] Clock golf is played by the guests of Lord Emsworth in Wodehouses's novel, Something Fresh.[citation needed]

Agatha Christie's novel 4:50 from Paddington (1957) features a (rusty) clock golf, and the game is played in her novel The Seven Dials Mystery.[citation needed] Christie herself played clock golf at her home Greenway in Devon.[16]

As of 2021[update] Jaques of London still sell equipment for the game, comprising a set of 12 markers numbered I to XII (with spikes on the back for insertion into the lawn), balls, and a pre-formed hole with flag.[19] As of 2016[update] a Danish firm offered to install a prefabricated clock golf playing area with artificial grass surrounded by a granite border.[20]

The quality of our golf clocks is unparalleled, based on years of craftsmanship and skill. Our professionals work closely with you to choose and design a post or tower clock to compliment and enhance the surrounding architectural style of your club or course.

The object of the player is to hole out from each successive figure point order, commencing with 1, in the fewest possible strokes. Only a golf ball and putter are required further to play the game. For practise in putting Clock Golf is unrivalled, and the demand for the game and the interest it excites at garden parties, shows it afso to be socially, a popular game for drawing people together.

The whole premise is to reach the clock position on the distance wedge backswing but finish the swing in the same finish position for all shots. So to hit a reduced yardage, gripping down is the simplest way to take a yard or three of your stock distance. If you want a few more yards, just go a little past your stock finish position.

For the 60y shot you mentioned, I would recommend you hit the 56y shot cause it will probably release a bit and roll to makeable range. I play 46, 52, 56, 60 and have clock positions (left arm reference) at 6:30, 7, 7:30, 8, 8:30, 9 & 10. I documented carry distance and there are lots of overlaps. For instance, for 60y carry, I can hit a 9:00 LW or a 7:30 SW. The SW will release a bit further than the LW. Also, the reason for using carry distance is because green conditions vary and you have to base your shot on the amount of roll-out you expect.

Just using the clock isn't enough... You can move ball position, open and close the face, setup changes and small swing variations to hit different yardages and trajectories. All of this takes practice and lots of it to get good at it.

Say I take the club back to 10 o'clock for all of these swings.... I can use my 60* wedge, grip down a little, weight forward, move the ball forward and open the club slightly and hit higher trajectory 60 yard. I can also use the same 60* wedge, grip it square, move the ball to the middle of my stance and it'll go 70, but with a mid trajectory. Then I can take a 54* and do the same things and get different yardages. It takes practice to know these things.

100% correct her. But then, that's more like "second year" clock method, not "rookie" clock method. The most important thing is stressed in both of our posts. Regular practice is imperative. It WILLNOT WORK if you don't practice these shots regularly. Also, as you mentioned, proper technique is vital. Anyone who wants to become affective with their wedges HAS TO 1.) Learn how to do it properly and 2.) practice it till it is second nature. I've been out of commission for nearly 2 months and I already know that I have a lot of work in front of me to get ready for '21.

No clock involved but body parts used for reference, pocket, hip, rib, chest, etc 10yd (landing) increments. I use this system from 30yds to full PW (105?) using 47 degree PW for everything. Up to 25yds I use Monte's "use the bounce" and the same club and body parts, 5yd (landing) increments. Having a lot of success with minimal practice.

I swing at the exact same speed, tempo, whatever as a full shot. I never try to hit a ball softer or harder using this method. Only difference is stopping the backswing at whatever clock face position that is required. Each hour clock face position is a ten yard difference for me. Majority of the time the 60yd question would be using the 56yd shot due to some roll out. Could use the 65yd with the face open a little also. I view the entire shot as based on feel. That is due to "feeling" right when my hands reach the desired position at the backswing. The 30yd shot is all going to be on the shot type. Bump & run, drop & stop or something in between. The actual trajectory of the shot is going to dictate what club is used. Back to the 60yd shot. I could use an 8 iron with only taking the club back to about 7 o'clock for a low shot that checks up very quickly to my 58 at 9 to 10 o'clock (dependent on how I want the ball to land). Once you get comfortable using this, experiment some with there you position the ball in the stance for trajectory & ball action.

If you play in any sort of official golf tournament, the organizers most likely have a pace-of-play requirement. The Northern California Golf Association, for example, requires that groups play within a certain allotted time. It positions checkpoints on the 9th and 18th greens. If no group is finishing within the prescribed time, yours must at least finish within 14 minutes of the preceding group to avoid a one-shot penalty. It is not unusual for foursome after foursome to be greeted by an official delivering the bad news and the penalty. And, look out, if you got a one-shot penalty at the 9th, you can expect a two-shot penalty at the 18th.

Perhaps the most striking part of watching the first run-through of players on the clock was just how little of the clock they actually used. While the timers were generous in when they started the countdown, players frequently hit their shots before the clock had reached 30 seconds. Phachara Khongwatmai and Ryan Evans were among those who used both timeouts on day one.

A round of golf at Blue Top Ridge is not complete without a stop at the Clock Garden Caf. Located near the practice range, and perfectly nestled between the turn from hole #9 to hole #10, golfers will find deli sandwiches, hot grill items, appetizers, snacks, drinks, a giant shaded canopy, restrooms, and more. The Clock Garden Caf's central location makes it the ideal spot to refuel during your round or a place to gather before and after a group outing. All of the intricate design elements of the caf and surrounding areas were modeled after features of famous golf clubs around the country. There is nothing like it in the Midwest! Pro Tip: Call 319-648-0055 during your round to order ahead!

I had thought mine had the same issue, as when the clocks went back it was still showing as an hour later, so I went in manually and changed it. But I've just checked it now in the GPS setting and it's now showing the correct time.

If you look in my picture you will see the option for DST is unchecked and the clock is still an hour in front of what it should have been when I had taken the picture at 21:02 last night. Also, you can press on the DST as much as you like but since the clocks officially changed, it now never toggles between checked/unchecked. Great car but the clock? Not the best one I've ever owned lol.

Well, kind of. TGL, the new primetime indoor golf league led by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, announced Monday that players will have a 40-second shot clock, and if the player fails to hit the ball in time their team will be docked a one-stroke penalty.

A big focus for TGL has been attempting to incorporate the atmosphere of other sports into a fun golf format. The 40-second shot clock, based on the current USGA recommendations for pace of play, is the newest addition. On Oct. 31, TGL released its competition format with 15-hole matches in which the first nine holes are three-person alternate shot match play while the next six holes are rotating singles. If any matches are tied through 15 holes, it goes to overtime with a soccer penalty shootout-style closest-to-the-pin competition. 2351a5e196
