If the birdie hits the line it is it in or out?
No, it is considered IN if the shuttlecock makes contact with any part of the line.
Why does a ball fly better in dry air?
Mostly the air you breathe has some water in it. Air with a bigger humidity is thicker. Not that you would notice it while walking or anything like that. So if you throw a ball in to water, it's not going to go very far, but when you throw it in the air, it flies much further. So the less there is water in the air, the less air resistance there is to slow the ball down.

Where can you find a EZ Cart that was made by Republic Manuf?
Unfortunately, it will be hard to find parts. This cart hasn't been manufactured for over 10 years. I owned one of these carts and made the mistake of letting it go when I moved. A few years ago I decided to get another but didn't remember the name or manufacturer. After five years, I saw a used one, got the name, and then searched the web for a supplier. That's when I found they were no longer available.
It seems there are a lot of people that want someone to provide them again because they think this cart was the best ever.
Does having a club fitted improve your play?
Yes, it can drastically change your play. You can drop anywhere between 5-10 strokes by getting your clubs fitted. Answer by FutureLPGAgolfer The answer above is correct. Getting your clubs fitted is one of the best things you can do to improve your golf game. You wont have to be complaining if the club is too big, too small, to steep, or too low. Make sure they also do fitting on your club face for irons. Somtimes when you are already on your posture, the heal of the club might be the only thing that is touching the ground or the tip of the club face. This can make you golf shot messy or shanky!
With a 24 handicap how many shots do you get on each hole before you pick up?
As many as you want until the ball is in the hole as long as you don't hold up the play of the golf course. No matter how bad you hit the ball always watch where it goes and you will not have a problem keeping up with the group in front of you. If you are playing Stableford, you can pick up when 2 over net par because your score is already down to zero. With a handicap of 24 this will be 4 over the real par for most holes. (3 over par for some, depending on Scratch Index) For handicap purposes, the same applies, so you might as well pick up after 4 over par. If it's a medal competition, keep going. Every stroke counts.
Why use sand to fill in divots?

Only if the Committee has made a Local Rule permitting relief for an embedded ball through the green, due to abnormal course conditions that warrant such relief. The relief has to specifically permit relief for an embedded ball through the green, for example, it is not sufficient for a notice to say ‘”Winter Rules in operation”.
