    The Footie Thread

    I wouldn't say the results are that surprising. City aren't as strong. Liverpool have fallen off a cliff recently as have Arsenal to a lesser extent. Last season the prem was in a bit of transition - Newcastle and Man Utd aren't the strongest 3rd / 4th placed finishers we've had.

    Utility 4 iron

    I find dispersion left to right much tighter with a long iron whereas carry distance more consistent with a fairway wood or hybrid. Horses for courses.

    Perhaps they are running out of steam. The squad players who have filled in admirably throughout the season are showing signs of legs. Confidence is shot in front of goal and they're giving the ball away too often in midfield. Is it a blip? Depends on whether we're talking results or...

    Measuring Distances

    If they're absolutely ripping it and solid with the putter I'd imagine so.

    Membership cost increase

    To be honest, I don't have a problem with locker rental being quite high - although £120 is steep - its optional, lockers are normally in short supply, and the income would have to be found elsewhere. The cost of installing the lockers isn't cheap either. At our place the rental from the first...

    I just think that footballers are so highly tuned, muscle injuries are becoming more common. Style of play may mitigate to some extent, but its still luck in the main part.

    To your original point I think its remarkable. Outside of the most optimistic Liverpool fans, I doubt anyone thought Liverpool would be top of the table and still in all the cups in late february, injuries or no injuries.

    I think that Bradley and Gomez have done much better than expected at the back, unlike in previous years where Liverpool have struggled to cope with defensive injuries. I'd also argue Jotas performances have meant Salah hadn't been missed. There is going to be a 'straw that broke the camels...

    Fitting - is it worth it?

    I went for a Callaway iron fitting, after about five shots with my current 7 iron the fitter was able to identify what would be the optimum head / lie angle / shaft. I hit the demo in this spec for another 5 - 10 shots, the fitter then basically said "we can spend half an hour trying other...

    If you mean Bradley, he's an Ulsterman.

    Handicap Improvements - Your story

    Started about 30 Years ago - first handicap 20 current index 7.1, went a bit higher at the start and been as low as 6.0. Its been a very slow gradual improvement over a long long time. I've never had rapid progression, most I've ever come down by is 2 shots in a year and this was normally...

    This has nothing to do with my point. The TV money should be shared more evenly though the pyramid. It would not take a massive reduction for each premier league club, to reduce the disparity with the lower leagues, particularly the championship. The premier league is the top division, but it...

    We have, and that is commendable considering the odds stacked against them.

    The Footie Thread

    Valid points, but I'm not talking about reducing the income top clubs to a point they can no longer complete with overseas generally (There will always be outliers like PSG and Madrid). Just enough, so that it is always achievable for a club to make progress, particularly between the...
