    Why do we not love Tiger?

    The points about being more accesible are right actually and that would explain why he now cant do the 'normal' things. However, could this be the reason he wins all the time? The fact his life revolves, a lot of it anyway, around golf and winning golf tournaments, in particular majors, is why...

    Why do we not love Tiger?

    Personally I always stand up for Tiger because I think he is awesome and is often unfairly accused of being arrogant and aloof when it is really not the case. The problem is partly that there is such interest in him that he has to hide away, and also the reason he rarely signs autographs unlike...

    The Pleasure of Being Fitted Properly

    Yeah they often say custom fitted but it tends to just mean that they might make sure you have a stiff shaft instead of regular or something like that, but rarely do they mean the lie, loft, length, etc

    The Pleasure of Being Fitted Properly

    Good idea to get yourself custom fitted I think The feeling that you are totally comfortable with whatever club you have in your hands is half the battle so when you see it sitting perfectly on the floor and in your grip its great. I had my Mizuno MP-32s fitted in March and although my iron...

    I've just hit the best shot ever...

    I think i have one on the hardest hole of the course in a texas scramble, it was the 14th and our last due to a shotgun start and we were -16 for the round ( which was ridiculous and we were a bit annoyed we werent going to reach -18)...anyway back to the story and we had 170 yards left to the...

    Golf Fashion

    Got to confess to having become a bit of a Lindberg man. Bought a white pair and black pair of the trousers and altho they look dead flashy they are superb and been good this summer as had the odd shower and they are a bit waterproof as well. Normally get some abuse for tight, bright shirts i...

    Costa Del Sol

    If u want a real challenge when ur out there the place to play is Monte Mayor, it is awesome! I have played it three or four times now and the front nine is still impossible but u get a chance to make ur score look respectable on the back side. Take a lot of ammunition but when ur there u have...

    Texas Scrambles - a good measure of your game

    Texas Scrambles are definitely the most fun format and always make a nice change from the usual. Have played in a few in last 2 years, recently we shot udner par and won the gross competition at a charity event only to be denied by some very dodgy handicaps. But last year, playing with a few...

    Aspirations this weekend?

Think it all reveolves around the start as I havent had a good one last two times and had great back nines, so hopefully i can get that right and post a really good score...

    Balls to you all

    like duck_hook I tried a number of different balls but eventually I just started using the Pro V1 as it just seems to do what you want it to do and since then I have not even thought about changing

    When Lessons Work

    No viscount it doesnt really. The trick is to remember them all on the range and then when you go out onto the course just do the swing that comes naturally to you, and if you have to maybe allow yourself one swing thought. Otherwise it is too much to concentrate on and not only do the shots go...

    Rose to be the next British Major winner?

    Last year Luke Donald was far and away the leading British player when it came to competing for major titles, except Monty's Winged Foot incident, but this year he has fallen back a bit and Justin Rose has really started to live up to his potential. I have just seen a stat saying that...

    USPGA Debate

    That would be a good idea, something like the Players Championship (obviously not, but something along those lines) held over here would be class. Where did the WGC event that was at Valderamma a few years back go anyway?

    A 2-iron experiment

    I had my irons custom fitted at MIzuno's fitting centre and I absolutely love them, because they feel so sweet off the club face. However, the -iron looked the scariest thing I have ever seen, the head looked tiny on the end of the shaft and i struggled with it, although I am thinking of trying...
