    American Golf

    It does seem like many golfers order clubs from AG once and then vow to never do it again. Consumables only for me I'm afraid!

    Recording your own golf swing / Online lessons

    On your iPhone there is the option to record video in slo-mo. This will be perfectly good for recording your swing. In terms of other equipment, with a bit of fiddling you should be able to position your phone on your bag to keep it in place. Or you can get a cheap mini flexible tripod with...

    Shadow Creek $1000 Per Round

    I note Brocket Hall is £250 a round now. They clearly don't want us regular golfers on their property anymore.

    5-wood recommendations?

    Another vote for the Cobra F9 5 wood. Quickly becoming my favourite club in the bag. When you nail one out the middle the feeling out of the club is fantastic. Plus it does have the added bonus of being a monster. Do the rails on the bottom do anything? I am not sure. But I'd rather have...

    Cleveland CBX2 Wedges

    Sorry - did I say 100 yards? I meant 275.

    Black Friday

    Completely agree - there's been nothing tempting enough to prise my credit card out of my wallet. I guess this is because sales of golf equipment have been strong this year so no need to offer significant discounts.

    Cleveland CBX2 Wedges

    I have the same lofts as these but in the original CBX. They perform great for me. With the 52 I can hit a really consistent 100 yards with a regular swing.

    Wilson entering premium golf ball market?

    There are many things that concern me about my golf game. Inconsistencies in the application of paint on the ball is not one of them.

    What ball do you use?

    AD333 for me. Great all rounder ball, nice and cheap. Feels firmer off the driver and hybrids, but then somehow feels soft with short irons and round the green. For me, noticeably more spin off wedges than Ultisofts or Supersofts.

    Cleveland CBX Wedges.

    I've got the 50 and the 56. I am the exact target audience for these clubs. I was using Cobra PUR wedges, which, if I am being honest, were too difficult for me to hit (I'm off 15). 56 degree is now my favourite club in the bag and as long as I put a decent swing on it I am now deadly from 60...

    Lessons in Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire

    Hi everyone With the new season upon us, I'm determined to make a great start so I'm looking for lesson recommendations. I'd like to treat myself to an hour or two with a really top teacher in Herts or Beds. Someone who finally will get my swing sorted out - they will have to be a genius...

    Race to Dubai Trip

    Unfortunately I've had to cancel my annual trip to the Portugal Masters this week. I am heartbroken as I love that trip! To help me feel better I'm considering a cheeky trip to watch the DP Championship in Dubai in a few weeks. Anyone ever been? Any hotel / travel advice in particular would...

    Did you see the puss on Watson.

    In fact, you can watch it here: It's the first one - I am sure there is a smile and a handshake afterwards!
