    When is an auction not an auction - Ebay is a joke

    Why not Ill tell you why not because on Ebay there are a number of ways sellers can sell their goods including a buy it now price or an auction with no reserve. If he decided to sell it using the auction style with no reserve he should be prepared to accept whatever figure it ends at. I think...

    Winter Ball for my Game

    I think Barney needs to remember what it was like to be a 28Hcp, then to get down to 18Hcp, I don't think I am on my own here, as I am a better player now than I have ever been, me playing off 18Hcp I didnt mean to sound rude and listen you wouldnt have too many free shots on me if we did play...

    Winter Ball for my Game

    I agree, IMO the manufacturers simply bring out a range of differently priced balls so there is a range of affordability. I just think sometimes golfers should stop worrying about their equipment so much, especially when they are high handicappers and just concentrate on their game. A pal of...

    Winter Ball for my Game

    Forgive me I dont mean to be rude but I see you are playing off an 18 handicap. Oh what the hell I wont beat around the bush. I dont think playing off that handicap spending £1 on a ball or £4 on a ball will make any difference. Maybe inconsistencies in ball flight,ball travel,ball spin etc...

    Scotty Cameron

    I thought the Scotty Cameron Studio for personalized putters was only available in the US. Does anyone know this service is definitely available in the UK and does anyone have a link to the UK site ? Thanks

    Chris, Does your club pair you up with different players every time you enter the club comps or do you just play with your usual friends and arrange your own pairings ?

    SWING,SWAY AND HEAD MOVEMENT

    Thanks for replying Bob. I was actually surprised with the fact I did have quite a lot more turn than I originally thought, with my back just about facing the target. It was just the huge sway that went with it that was less than complimentary. Cheers Ill keep trying !!!!

    dodgy retailers

    Have used Direct golf with no problems. DO NOT USE 'golfcentreonline.co.uk' AS YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF. Having fallen foul of this thief I then did some home work and found out he had ripped off many others before me.

    SWING,SWAY AND HEAD MOVEMENT

    Having just seen some footage of my swing I cannot believe how much I sway back on my back swing and then sway forwards on down swing. Sometimes my head beats the club to the line of the ball. My ball striking is improving all the time simply by slowing my swing down to a controllable tempo and...

    WHICH INSURANCE TO CHOOSE ??

    My apologies if this has been posted before and if so please lock it or ignore it !! I need to take some golf insurance out but do not know which to choose. I have no receipts for any of my equipment so that needs to be a considering factor. I have heard some insurance companies have that many...

    HITTING DOWN ON THE BALL

    My grip is something I recently concentrated on and can say I always make sure the line between finger and thumb on both hands is always right of my chin. Is this correct or could that be part of the problem ??

    HITTING DOWN ON THE BALL

    Morning, Thanks very much for your reply. As you say I think Ill just have to keep the basics correct ,stick with it and learn to adjust the rest of my swing then until it hopefully comes good.

    HITTING DOWN ON THE BALL

    Morning Bob, Im afraid I dont have the facility to put one up so I do appreciate it is hard for you to assist me. I thought we should be hitting down on the ball ? Should I be leveling off my swing then and not coming down so steep ? If I did level off then surely I would be hitting the back...
