Vital to the running of a golf club, or paralysed decision makers that just get in the way? Do we still need golf club committees and, if so, how could they be improved?

Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll have some experience in this field. Both have served on golf club committees and they debate the pros and cons of these institutions.

Who are they meant to serve, and are they achieving that? Do clubs still need committees as we turn into 2026?

Green fees that seem to never stop rising, clubs asking for more from their members, and have you seen the price of equipment?

Is it all too much? After a new player survey revealed rising costs and affordability continued to be a concern for club golfers, Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll discuss whether those fears are perception or reality.

Are green fees getting out of control, or is it just market forces? Are we asking parents to pay too much as we coax youngsters into the game, and are we even being priced out on the driving range?

Are distance measuring devices a vital tool that speed up play, or a menace making golf too easy?

This week on The NCG Golf Podcast, Tom and Irwin and Steve Carroll debate whether tech like rangefinders, GPS watches, and lasers have gone too far.

Do we rely on them too much? Would the game be more fun – and more traditional – without them? And are the rules around their use too complicated for most golfers to follow?
