Hello everyone, I've been landed with the unenviable task of organising my Societies first meet in February next year and would like to take us to a course that meets the following criteria and would like some help from the knowledgeable folks that reside here: Within a 40-50 mile radius of...

Thanks for the replies guys. A couple of questions: Did you find that it improved your swing - does it help with slices and hooks? Did you find it helped "bed in" your grip and allow you to grip it right first time on the course? Thanks

Hi all, I guess that it's a bit late now it's arrived in the post, however I wondered if anyone on here has had any experience with a Grip it Rite. They are available from Amazon: Click Here to see on Amazon. The reviews were pretty good, so I've punted for a purchase and hope to try it out...

Thanks to the helpful respondents - that's given us a good start. We had a round last night, so we'll use those scores to formulate a high handicap and work it from there. Dodger, if you are being picky then you only need one question mark. However, profuse apologies for incorrect use of...

That's my point - I know it's unsuitable to use the conventional Stableford scoring because we are of differing abilities sub-28. I was enquiring if anyone had emulated something more suitable in their own circle of players.

My favourites: "If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age." and "When you look up, causing an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again." - This is...

This came through on an email - I can't immediately see that this has been recently posted, so I thought I'd share: ONLY A TRUE GOLFER WILL UNDERSTAND THIS Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it. Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your...

Hi, I'm 4 months into playing golf and the best thought I've found when getting preparing to swing is to relax and let your shoulders fall to their natural position. All to often, I tense up through the concentration and anticipation of the shot so the last thing I think of is "am I hunched...
