I should start by saying that the clues aren't necessarily the normal cryptic ones you are used to.

I need the answers to 2, so here goes:

1. Yet again the team has suffered relegation to a lower division (10)

_ E _ _ _ O _ I _ _

The "E" is from Persistent (To maintain their handicap, scratch golfers must be this _ E _ S _ S _ _ _ _ )

The "O" is from Avon (This river near Bristol could be a water hazard _ _ _ _ )

The "I" is from Brits (Players going into Europe are often termed this! _ _ _ _ _ )

2. This is not about jumping in the air - Woodhall has them below ground (7)

_ _ R _ _ _ S

The "R" is from Barber (Where male golfers go for a haircut _ _ _ _ _ _ )

The "S" is from Isis (The upper reaches of The Tames, above Oxford _ _ _ _ )

The last letter of the 1st answer corresponds with the 5th letter of the 2nd answer.

Apologies for this long-winded request, but it appears that this compiler tries to provide a tenuous golf link to a word that fits his available squares.

1 could be redemotion ?
2 Think this is sprngs - Woodhall is a spa so would have springs
I see what you mean about the clues....the only term I can come up with for 1. is re-demotion but, having checked several dictionaries, the word doesn't seem to exist..

I don't know where Woodhall is but could it have underground springs?
Hi Junkman - sorry about that - it took me so long to type I didn't see you had already answered j

Many thanks JUNKMAN and JMR27.

I have been struggling with these last 2 for days, and today is the last day for posting.

I am going to go with REDEMOTION and SPRINGS.
