Have you ever considered leaving your golf club? How many of your clubs upped your fees last year and are they going to do it again? What keeps you loyal? We asked you about golf club membership in another big NCG survey filled in by more than 1,000 of you and Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll break down some fascinating results. We reveal what you are saying about golf club membership, and whether we're still basking in post-pandemic participation joy or if dark clouds are on the horizon.

Music playing, phones buzzing, dress codes pushed to the limit – and that's before we even start dredging up unrepaired pitch marks and unraked bunkers. Was good etiquette about fitting in, and is it now about tolerance and acceptance instead? Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll dig into the etiquette question – from pace of play to course care. They share some stories and ask whether standards are dying or just evolving. The NCG Golf Podcast is produced in association with GolfClubs4Cash.

It's probably the most fundamental part of the World Handicap System but how many of us really understand Course Rating? This week, Steve Carroll is joined by Gemma Hunter, The R&A's assistant director of handicapping, to discuss this vital piece of the puzzle. How does it work? How is the data put together? Do clubs get to see it? Is it all just about length? The NCG Golf Podcast is produced in association with GolfClubs4Cash.

It offers a cheap way to get an official handicap and players don't need to be a member of a golf club. Whether it's iGolf or OpenPlay, independent golfer schemes have been very successful over the past few years – and have also been a useful foot in the door for players wondering if membership is right for them. But with many pundits suggesting numbers could take a hit this year in the face of cost-of-living struggles, could they now provide an escape route? And what will mean for the club game? Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll discuss the rise of the independent golfer, how golf clubs engage with them, and whether such schemes could prove ever more attractive if golfers are looking to save their pennies.

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?
