I am at a dead end trying to find a representation of a thematic alternative offered by the group, despite completing everything else. Could a helpful soul perhaps give a nudge, perhaps where to start looking, although I appreciate it may be difficult without giving the game away.

Having just posted my request, I can now see what has been eluding me, so please ignore my request.

Unstuck - I'm afraid I'm at a similar point to you and can't throw you a line. I have a full grid but am still struggling with some misprints that are stopping me from making sense of the hint. Staring at the grid has yielded a name but struggling to extend it to 11 letters. But I'm usually in a similar position at this point in the week, so will keep worrying away at it. Hopefully it will yield its secrets.

unstuck - Do I persume you have the name (11 cells) changed to show another (14 cells) - If you also altered the three normal clues revealing a group ... just google that with the fourth word of the 'decription' and all should become clear ...

Thanks to son1ofrover1, for your query @ 42 and to midgers for your reply @ 43; this confirmed my interpretation of the first word in the phrase. I can stop trawling through the posts now and heave a sigh of satisfaction!

Thanks also to Seps for this tour de force of construction — for me, the quotation always brings to mind Jasper Carrott's question ‘Why do I always get the nutter?’!

[If you're in the “struggling and about to give up” camp, all I can say is “When the going gets tough, remember the words of 21a…’]

A bit late teeing off, but thoroughly enjoying the round. The clueing is quirky and different from the usual.

And the theme has prompted me to re-read some of Wodehouse's golf stories, which is a bonus.

Whistler - You have not requested any assistance - so apologise if this is unwelcome - but reading post - Ist step of 4 is a name in the grid 11 cells (not all on one line) and extending one by 3 cells plus 6 changes will give something different ...

Enjoyed the end game greatly, but found some of the clueing very difficult and obscure - too much so. Still uncertain about the last letter of 34, even though I know the misprint. A hint, please, would help on how to parse it.

Thanks, Crates! I can see some possibilities but no PDM at present. Not unduly worried... sometimes I finish them, sometimes I don't!

eenk, in the wordplay to 34a each letter of the word is clued separately in reverse order ("round")
