Recently bought a set of P790 Irons, brand new but the 2022 model. Been after them for a long time and finally treated myself, 6 rounds later and I just cant seem to get on with them:(

I have gone out for a round this morning with a new member, he has recently got his handicap and wants to get in as many cards as possible ready for the new season next year. Ideally he wants to get 20 cards in so he feels he has a genuine Handicap, I said that i would also put a card in as...

New putter, Taylor Made Spider GT, first time having a centre shafted putter. Ping Pioneer cart bag.

Had one of my worst ever rounds, absolute shocker.

One of my best ever rounds today, only 15 holes played but 8 pars and a birdie,

Ping G425 Max driver, 9 degree with a stiff shaft.

Cleveland CBX2 58 degree wedge.

I have been using the Srixon Irons but i'm going back to the Pings for the forseeable future. Also going to get some lessons booked. Something in my swing has changed as the only way i can get the club on the clubface is to address the ball with the outer edge of the toe of the club with the...

Just looking for a bit of advise if possible, 52 years old and have been playing golf for around 25 years, at best I have been a 13 HCP but i have now gone up to 16. I have been playing Ping G25 irons for about 6 years and recently got seduced by the look of some Srixon Z765 irons, my iron game...

I am in a similar position where I am thinking about a new shaft for my Ping G30 driver, currently have the standard regular shaft that it came with but I have increased by ball speed over the last year. I am now getting around 144mph ball speed with around a 16 degree launch angle, i have been...

I have been trying to get some lessons for a while with the Pro at our club, he is only doing them between 9:00am and 4:00pm and so with work I just can't get there. He seems to have little interest in giving lessons at weekend either. The worse I am hitting the ball the less confident I am...

Just not feeling it at all lately, I haven't played for a few weeks due to the weather but have been going to the range once a week. My striking has completely gone and have started shanking all of my irons. Decided to have a break and not to hit a ball until April

You could be describing me as well, very similar in that I have always been somewhere between 14 and 19 HCP, I rarely hit more than a couple of GIR.

I think this is what bothers me the most, I am extremely blessed and remind myself all the time. I look around and see the hardship that people are going through and feel guilty that I feel this way.

I don't think Covid has helped at all but it's deeper rooted than that. One thing it has done though is to convince me that time with the family is much more important than work, I haven't had anything more than 2 weeks off work since I was 16 and have always enjoyed my job. Now I honestly have...
