Golf enthusiasts, few small doubts.   How many types of golf clubs are there? One for long distance, one for short putting?

The Italian and Japanese kept beautiful pace. Very creditable try by Sandeep. Better than veterans Irfan and the other guy who got lapped

Crap... the Belarussian loses to the Chinese in the last 5 secs.. Vinesh is out

Thus is a massive massive disappointment. Amit Panghal and Vinesh Phogat was odds on everywhere in every betting odds to win a medal.

Hold on. So you are saying the guy who holds the national records for 50 km and 20 km racewalk doesn't know how to run? Comeon, go easy there. Maybe emotions got better of you there :p:
