Thought dojo was something to do with kendo but not entirely sure - certainly martial arts of some kind.

2. Dojo - is a wrestling training facility, the name originates in Japan but the name tends to get used worldwide.

No. 3 is possibly "sandsave". BB

Agree with BB ... Sand Save: when a player gets up and down from a greenside sand bunker, regardless of score on the hole.

[Baboonboy]

There's a georgian "new town" in Cornwall called Charlestown. There's also a Charlestown in Aberdeen although I don't know if this is a new town. BB

1. If Poundbury is Prince Charles' first attempt , then "Charlie Town Two" could be St Austell, or Upton in Northants --- but these are described as village developments rather than towns.

q3 says 'holed from a bunker'. a sand save is up and down from a bunker, i.e. 1 shot out of the bunker and 1 putt to put the ball in the hole. to hole the ball straight from the bunker is called a golden ferret. i think. seem to remember this silly fact from when i was a keen teenage golfer lots of years ago.

thanks to all that have replied, most helpful, cannot believe its called a golden ferret, fantastic name for a golf shot :)

4. Rollerblades.
5. In 2005 polo was played in Regent Street, which had been grassed over... don't know if they did it again this year.

Schotts gaming miscellany says no 3 is a golden ferret.
