    Online/remote handicap services

    Currently not a member of a club the main drawback of which is no HC cert. Anyone use an online service? which one? are they accepted at clubs requiring an HC? thoughts and observations? cheers BillyG

    spitting the dummy

    Whatever the issues concerning your own actions 'may' be they are more than trumped by this *w**. Utterly selfish and self serving behaviour. Never ever play in a group with this person again. 'Putting up' with these sorts only gives them a green light when the other members should muscle up...

    An so it begins...... Im now officially old!

    I've got the Redwood version of the Piper. Custom fitted. Seem to remember it coming in at around £170 at the time. Owned and used it about 2 years. Every round, every hole. Love it and would replace it with another should it get damaged or stolen. Never been tempted to buy another putter...

    Waterproofs

    Looking at the Galvin Green website it all very slick and the graphics and videos are very professional and cogent to be fair although the back of a Trek and field catalogue or a cursory Google of 'layering of clothing' will bring up similar. It's all marketted in a very alluring way and I...

    game improvement clubs question

    Needs must when the devil drives. Can't go too far wrong with an old Ping set like a G2 or G5. I can't see too many profound changes to irons in the GI category since then and if I was starting again that's the way I would have gone. I would love to own a set of Mizuno clubs as there's just...

    Do you play better or worse in the rain?

    Mixed feelings about playing in the rain. Yep, good gear helps but there's only so far you can take it if you wear glasses. Cap under hooded waterproof jacket works quite well but beyond a certain point it's just not worth the hassle. Waterproof, breathable socks would be a good idea as I'm...

    Skycaddie - sneaky beaky

    Got onto Skycaddie and to cut a long story short it's been sorted out. Quick, easy, done straight away. Very polite and efficient. Still haven't quite got a clue why it happened but suggest it was as above- because there had been a lapse in my contracts. Suggest anyone that finds themselves...

    Adjustable driver/fairways or learn to swing properly ;)

    I've got one too - a bog standard R9 with a Fukeesomethinorother shaft. I had it set up for me when I bought it and have never reached for the spanner/key thing. Yeah, of course I spray them all over the place from time to time but I'm not temped to go down the tinkering route as that way...

    Anything out of the ordinary at your home course?

    Many moons ago I was a member of a course that had a plaque near to the second(I seem to remember) green marking the spot where Graham Hill's (father of Damon Hill) plane crashed and he was killed. Course was also odd in that it had 9 holes and 18 tees so two different tee positions for each...

    Skycaddie - sneaky beaky

    Just renewed my Skycaddie Birdy package to find that it will not expire exactly twleve months after I bought it but twleve months after the first day in the year I registered it originally.(e.g. it was originally set up in mid-May about five years ago and will therefore run out next mid-May...

    Titleist NXT Tour, thoughts?

    I'm switching back and forward between NXT Tour and AD333's at the moment. To me... Both offer the same distance but the Tours are a little softer off the putter face. Oddly I find the slightly harder, clickyness of the 333 to work better for my putting for some reason. Perhaps it's because...

    Trolley vs Carry - revisited.

    fair enough. yeah, tough one. only thing I can think of is a dark coloured blanket or throw for the back seat and then gear goes under that. It'll look tidy but of course no good if your client comes with their mum who wants to sit in the back. On a similar tip- ive got no idea how we all get a...

    Forgiveness.

    Ha! Well, I'm currently using a set of SGI irons - K15's with graphite shafts in regular flex( I don't think clubs get much more 'forgiving' than that combo do they?). I recently had them fitted and when we went through the fitting process the instructor said prettymuch any style of club head...
