@ryanmouquegolf Thanks. Tried this and definitely slices less.

@ryanmouquegolf How can I read greens better? I can get good aim at the pin but reading camber and speed I have no idea.

With #business #rates demands for 2025/2026 currently arriving in the post before 1 April 2025, it is the perfect time to ensure yours are accurate and that your entitlements to reliefs, exemptions or credits have been applied.

#Colliers welcomes the Lords' challenge to the flawed Non-Domestic #Rates bill.

Blanket higher business rates for larger businesses would hurt growth, impacting hospitals, manufacturers, offices and retailers.

@Colliers_UK Delighted I had the chance to speak to @BBCEmmaSimpson about the difficulties for the #highstreet due to the government's decision to cut RHL #businessrates relief from 75% to 40% -putting bills up by 140% or more for many small traders. Let's hope such businesses can survive.

John Webber, Head of Business Rates, appeared on the BBC to discuss the impact of cutting Business Rates Relief, highlighting business hardships and potential reforms with Emma Simpson.

@VOAgovuk What ‘Jake’ doesn’t mention is that #Counciltax is based on market values in 1991. He probably doesn’t remember 1991 so may not appreciate what the market was like back then with falling values, negative equity and high interest rates.

@MartinSLewis @GMB @susannareid100 @MartinSLewis the government needs to undertake a revaluation. Unfortunately both labour and the conservatives have turned CT into a political bomb.

With CPI at 6.7% for Sept, that means a £1.74bn increase to the #businessrates bill next April. This is unsustainable for #businesses across all sectors.
The government needs to freeze the #multiplier and bring in fundamental #businessratesreform.
