After the feedback we’ve received from our members about the Contactless Ball Extractors that were installed last week, we’ve decided to remove them and return to the foam in the putting cup. It was with good intention that we wanted to progress from the foam to a better solution, having seen the Ball Extractors used at other golf clubs.

There are two types of flag-pins, and at Buckingham Golf Club we have a javelin type flag-pin that is thicker than the other type. Those of you who have played golf away from Buckingham Golf Club may have come across the Contactless Ball Extractors and may have observed there were no pins on them like the ones we have, but probably not noticed that the flag-pin was thinner which allowed the small version.
