Lee, England Q: In golf, is there a minimum distance required from the edge of the green to the flag in the hole? Mike McLaughlin, Canada The location of the hole is not covered within the rules but it is recommended that the hole should be positioned at least four paces from any edge of the green.
In addition, an area of two or three feet in radius around the hole should be as nearly level as possible. In no case should holes be positioned within three paces of a very severe slope or ridge or of a recently used hole.

Greg Moran, Australia Q: Could anyone explain to me why, in indoor bowls, does the umpire spray the bowls after contact with another bowl? Ben Calveley, England The reason the bowls are sprayed is to mark them as touchers. These are bowls which, because they have touched the jack, can not be knocked out of play by hitting them into the ditch. The spray is more accurite than what is used in most indoor bowls clubs which is chalk. Anand, India Usually, a radar gun is used which works by using Doppler Signal Processing to clock speeds.
An antenna sends out a radio frequency RF signal at a specific frequency The signal projects from the gun like a torch beam. If a moving object, like a thrown ball, enters the device's transmitted signal, the frequency of the reflected signal off the ball is changed or 'shifted'.
This frequency change, or 'Doppler Shift', is proportional to the ball's speed and the radar gun is able to instantly process the return signal to display the speed of the projectile. The radar is only able to measure unidirectional velocity from a target to source, for example server to receiver or bowler to batsman. Of course, this is not the same as police radar guns which require the gun to be 'aimed' at the projectile car.
There is very little curve on this shot. Upshot or yard on: Involves delivering the bowl with enough power to move the jack or disturb other bowls, but without killing the end. If the jack is knocked into the ditch it remains 'alive' unless it is out of bounds to the side of the rink. There can be a large number of bowls on the green towards the conclusion of an end - particularly in the team games - and this gives rise to some complex tactics.
For example, the team with the closest bowl will probably decide not to aim for being close to the jack. It is probably in their interest to opt for a more blocking shot by setting their bowls up to make it difficult for opponents to get their bowls in towards the jack. Or players will try to get their bowls in places where the jack might be deflected to if the opponent attempts to disturb the head.
