Have the rankings not been around for a while? I have taken the following passage from the scottishgolfview.com website on the 8th January and he has been keeping us up to date with the rankings for ages. Richie Ramsay (Scotland) retains the WAGR No 1 spot for a 21st week. Jason Palmer...

Not used one before but you may be interested to know that Mizuno have given up making Drivers and are now sticking to the thing they are best at, making irons. I don't think that this is a reflection on the quality of the club but they have certainly not been popular. Mizuno make very good...

Well said Paul! Is the Slazenger K1 not priced at about £169? I know there are a few things thrown in but think of the second hand value. If you buy a Ping, Callaway, Titleist or other similar brand driver for about £199 at least after using it for a while you could still expect to sell it...

Come on MacMachattie, did you really play with a wooden driver and 3 wood? You must be very good if you can flush a 3 iron! I agree that a utility club certainly won't change a poor golfer into a good golfer but I do think we should all have one in our bags to make that very difficult shot just...

I do think that the older generation probably find it difficult to bend down and repair the mark so we can maybe let them off a little bit. Are a lot of the marks left by the poorer golfers? As a reasonable golfer the pitch mark is often quite close to where the ball has finished, making it is...

Yes great suggestions. With only about 5 or 6 assistants tournaments this would be an excellent way of getting some competitive golf and also be a great chance for them to interact with the members. A couple of questions though. 1. Which competitions could they play in? Would they include the...

With the wet conditions in the winter months it is vital to be getting a good carry as there is little or no run. All these different tips do apply but they must have only succeeded in causing more confusion. Why not just visit your local Pro? I bet he would be able to spot the problem in no time.

Your playing partner tees off straight into the low winter sun where you do your very best to follow the ball and see it start off fairly straight. Some how you have lost it in flight and just can't quite see it finish. Of course your partner asks "Did you see where it finished?". You reply...

Excellent points MacMachattie! Does anyone else have any views on the North/South divide?

That does sound very disappointing. I presume there was some kind of reduction on the normal price? I do however think that the dreaded mats (certainly up hear in chilly Scotland) are required to keep the course in better shape for the summer. Maybe the few degrees difference in average...

Re: Owner Resale an Off Plan apartment at RodaGolf & Beach Resort in Murci What is this? Have I been linked to Ebay? "Aberdeen Golf Club" doesn't even exist!

I will try and clear these 2 points up. Relief from a plugged lie is only available from closely mown areas cut to fairway height or less. If the course is very wet it is then up to the committee to add a local rule to allow releif from plugged lies anywhere on the course. If you are are...

Fair point, that was a bit controversial. Is it possible to take out the last line?

I think at the top end of the golf ball range there will not be much difference between the Titleist, Callaway or Srixon ball! Having tried and tested most I think the HX Tour from Callaway, with the six deeper dimples, does perform better in the wind. Apparantly Titleist have taken all their...

Well I tried today the aim and hit it straight technique but as usaul it didn't work. If someone could find the answer they would surely make millions!
