Clutch Bearing

The clutch bearings are located on each side of the axle almost at the end and their purpose is to allow the axle to rotate by way of the gearbox but not the other way ie forwards but not backwards. They are sometimes fixed separately and sometimes built in to the wheel. If the clutch bearing fails then you would be able to push and pull the trolley freely in both directions. If one clutch bearing fails you can have a trolley that veers to one side.

They should be kept in good working order and be kept free of grass and towelling fibres.

Weather

Rain, Rain and more Rain......when will this stop ??????
When all seems to be ok and we think we have got over the worst of the weather and drier/warmer times are here then the rain starts again.
For us golfers a complete nightmare not being able to get out or if we do whether we will need just a jumper, wet weather gear, cold weather gear for the wind or an umbrella or not depending on the wind again !!!!!
We hope you have managed to at least get out and get some fresh air.......This will take some time to clear away and be back to normal and i think this has been worse than snow which has blighted many courses the last couple of years.
Continue to watch golf on Sky with the Professionals playing in better conditions that i wouldn't mind being in right now. Onwards and upwards and now with the Masters weeks away....come on lets get the golf season started :-)

Tournaments

May be this week end will see two Nike staff players win and complete a double for European and PGA tours. Firstly well done Ross Fisher on a well deserved win and the first for a while but hopefully not too long till the next and now to see if Rory Mcilroy can complete his wire to wire victory.
