Your views - Golf Monthly online poll round up
Our regular Golf Monthly online polls are proving very popular - how have you voted over the last few months on some of the game's most debated subjects?
Having seen a significant upturn in their popularity over the last few weeks, we have decided to increase the frequency of our online polls. From now on there will be a new one for you to take part in every fortnight.
We have asked you for your views on a number of subjects over the past few months, and a summary of the last few polls is presented below. Some of the results are quite thought-provoking. If you want to discuss them with other golf fans and share your opinions, then register and log on to the 'Golf Forum' section of our website and join some lively debate.
In the meantime enjoy our round up and, while you're reading it, try casting your vote in our latest poll about handicaps. The voting box is closer than you might think...just scroll down a bit and look to the left of the screen - it's right there, so go on...
