Erstwhile wielder of the J's Professional Weapon, one of the great club names.

Or it's yet more AI generated crap.

You can be quick or you can be slow when filming a video. The larger channels have a team go round with them, usually at least a couple of camera/drone operators. It's going to take time to get everybody in place. As a one man set up I can be very quick, my camera is fixed to my trolley so no...

I did a very short piece on the rise of Mizuno in one of the first videos I ever made. You sum up the failings of many British manufacturers pretty well, but there was still a lot of innovation still going on. One of the factors against British makers was the lack of scale, they made some...

Good question! I'd say that up until the 1970s brand image wasn't much of a thing. Sure advertising influenced choices but in the UK American clubs were a rarity. Lots of UK manufacturers produced clubs that stated "American Model" or similar but to actually find the real article was...

Wear white clothes.

Don't think I've ever played with anyone better than scratch, and even then only a couple of times. Never played with anyone famous either.

Just make wedge the new name for irons and drop the word iron completely.

Fossilised Victory green grips, the work of the devil.

I've not watched it, was it a genuine call out or a set up to bring a bit of drama to the final?

One last comment then as I'm clearly doing a poor job of explaining my thoughts. :) Let's take a 380 yard hole. With today's ball, for Player X it's a drive of 225 yards and an iron shot of 155 yards. With an 80% ball using the same clubs, Player X would hit his drive 180 yards and the same...

They are playing a shorter course because the ball doesn't go so far, so the 145 yards you mention will actually be 120 yards on the shorter course and the club is still a 7 iron. The time saving is not from taking less shots but from not walking 1,000 yards. Anyway, why am I getting involved...

But the proposed ball changed is so pathetic that many of the existing balls we currently play will still be legal, it's just the top-end ProV1s and the like that will be impacted. And most of us can't hit ProV1s hard enough to generate their full potential anyway so a rolled back ProV1 would...

What's more enjoyable, playing a challenging game or bunting the ball straight down the middle every time? Nowhere did I mention playing old or vintage golf. Modern gear can be made to be as hard or easy as you want, but luckily the ruling bodies are keeping a lid on the "easier" element or...

I don't understand why most club golfers seem to want to make the game easier. Golf is a hard game and always has been, it's what makes it so addictive. Ball rollback wouldn't be an issue, it just resets the goalposts so to speak. Rather than waltzing round a 6,500 yard course in over 4 hours...
