http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/golf-devil-ball-golf/lpga-rookie-gets-bit-black-widow-mid-round-154429859--golf.html Pretty impressive performance all things considered.

I had Lady Parkinson chasing me from behind (ooer!) for 9 holes once. No matter how fast me and a mate tried to play she was intent on catching us up. We pulled into the half way house thinking to let her pass and so we could get our breath back but in she marched as well and walked straight up...

Couple of times last year I wasn't even sure which way to go around the golf course let alone how to swing a club. Fortunately it was just those two occasions but oddly I played really well before and afterwards so it just seemed to be a random thing. In the past the "losing it" was related to...

I still keep a set of blades around for the purpose of making me focus. Plus they give me much more information/feedback.

I'm not much of a range bunny at the best of times but at least you get to see some ball flight. I struggle mightily with those boxy practice rooms inside AG and such places where the wall nets stop the ball immediately and you only get to see the flight path on TV.

IMO you would be better spending the time chipping and putting. Most every range has one dominant slope be it down up or sideways/flat but courses are obviously not so uniform. My main gripe though is it turns golfers into javelin throwers: you can tend to judge yourself basis the best or...

I sort of have this decision having renewed my acquaintance with golf last year after a more or less 10 year lay off. I've not joined anywhere yet and with playing being purely social an official handicap hasn't been an issue thus far. I'm aware that certain clubs and/or courses require one and...

I contracted Scarlet Fever and was self-quarantined at home for pretty much all of July 1992. With nothing to do but sit around and watch day time TV I remember being bored senseless but after flicking between channels one day I found this rather interesting golf tournament was on with one...

I was in the market for new woods last year and tried a bunch. From memory I couldn't tell the difference between the G15 and the G20 despite having a couple of rounds with the latter. I'm sure Ping must have "enhanced" the G20 though because IIRC it cost more :D

Some sort of hybrid. I have a Sonartec 19 degree which is almost 10 years old now and I fancy trying a few new ones out to see how they go.

I have this same problem using FireFox. If I click on the book-marked page http://forums.golf-monthly.co.uk/ I get diverted very quickly (in about 1-2 secs) to https://forums-secure.golf-monthly.co.uk/profile.php?do=dst. If I manage to click on a sub-forum link in the second or so before this...

Pretty enough but there was a link to another set that were quite a bit cheaper and I dare say useable without risking the collectible value. I definitely like Hogan blades though and have had a set of Apex irons since the early 1990s. They still get the dust knocked off them several times per...

Long handled putters -I first saw Peter Senior use one in the early '90s but not sure if he was the first proponent- and Gene Sarazen's sand wedge from the 30s

They're not fair to people who want want to keep a decent pace. The ones in my neck of the woods are almost guaranteed to be a source of log jam.
