At the end of the summer I was looking for some new waterproof trousers and couldn't decide if I wanted to pay £175 for Galvin Green Alf's but after speaking with other owners I took the plunge and all I can say is that they are 100% worth every single penny I paid.

Don,t own anything myself but have a friend who is obsessed and sold his share of his business to set himself up travelling and reviewing mega expensive watches. http://www.escapement.uk.com/users/angus-davies-2.html

4 inches? That is a lot and I am not too sure any pro would recommend going that long. I am 6' 10" and only have 1" longer on my irons and use standard length woods-all custom fit. Like others have said go and see your pro and get fit correctly and sort ant issues with your swing.

The position/movement of your right foot from set up to impact (4 secs) is the only thing I would be worrying about otherwise all good.

Ryan O'Neill assistant at our club is going along nicely T8 @ -4. Good lad and hits the ball a mile.

Get down to the practice ground and play as many fun games as possible. Chipping , putting etc but especially getting the ball in the. Everything you do has to be FUN above anything else.

Had a Titleist fitting the other week for a fairway wood and was advised that the Prov1x would be the better ball for me due to the amount of spin I generate. Played with one a couple of rounds now and must admit the ball does not turn as much as it used to do.

Ok, so I went to Formby Hall on Tuesday for a pre season golf day with 35 other gents and ladies. I arrived at 10am to find I was in the last group out with our club pro, another pro Colin and a 4 hcp lad from our club. No pressure on me then!. I was paired with Colin and he made a steady par...
