Green castle tee for anything that’s not a driver

I just pretty much ignore all advice and row my own boat. Re going or not for a par 5 in 3 shots, there are some situations where it is impossible, one par 5 at my course I was playing the other day into a massive wind was playing 600 to the middle (accounting for wind, about 550 without) in my...

Hang on, you hit your 3w 250-260 and after 4 lessons you’re beating your handicap 9 times out of 10, that pro must be working wonders with the rest of your game! While I’d also not want to upset him because you really are into a good thing with someone who can get you beating your handicap 90%...

Given the way equipment is at the moment I don’t think we will see one single player dominate like Tiger over the long term, it will continue in cycles. Tiger was able to separate himself via is ball striking and his power, the power bit is now known by everyone so no single player will get a...

When missing a 2fter you need to know how whippy the shaft is to ensure the putter throw is perfect

Yes have seen both

I’m a member at 2 courses, both option 1 as far as I’m aware one members club, one privately owned. I have no idea how the members feel about the costs going up as I tend not to talk to many if any other members at either club

The weather is just horrific

Nope I never ever enter comps I’m sure there is a way to switch off the functions to make the things competition ready, if someone wished

Ha I missed the memo given I was reading it on the 3rd, though in fairness I’d probably have missed it even if I had read it on Monday.

Having read just the first part of that, they appear to say that there is a gain on 0.8 yards on full shots and a couple of paragraphs later say the thermal effect contributes to a gain of between 2 and 5 yards on full shots 🤔

Looking forward to this. Played CS last year and may do so again this, I knew they were building a second course, looking at the pictures it looks stunning

And I love this idea, I’ve never seen it implemented anywhere but a simple yet excellent idea

I have laser, GPS on phone and Garmin watch with GPS. I have to say that 99% of the time I use the watch, it has distance to hazards programmed in it for each course, it also links to phone to take into account wind/atmospheric conditions and also accounts for slope. I just find it easier being...

Brora is an outstanding golf course
