Irons What is the best temperature for ironing felt? I have a ski wax iron that sounds perfect for this. The temperature control on a good tuning iron is extremely precise and they are flat with a slight upward curve on all 4 sides(to avoid pushing wax around). However my iron's lowest temp...

To or three weeks ago my opponent forgot to mark her pocket. It wasn't an easy or clear shoot, but from observing her preshot I knew where she was trying to go. She made the shot and then her captain pointed out she did not mark the shot and actually lost the game. So I said take it. Take the...
