    How can I reduce my horrid loop on my back swing when using the putter?

    Putting expectations....

    Sorry I don't agree with you. As IMurg will tell you my putting is very poor, but I have to say the better the greens I play on the better my putting gets. In my view the top pros will hate putting on poor greens, they expect the pace to be consistent and surfaces to be pure, Speith would...

    What is the penalty?

    Just watching the Open coverage and one of the commentators mentioned that with the double greens it is common to see golfers playing to the wrong hole. What would be the penalty if you putt out into the wrong hole?

    Blackmoor outing

    It has been some time since I posted on the forum so apologies up front if this is in the wrong place. I'm sure Fragger will have a word with me if it is! I just wanted to pass on my thanks for a great day yesterday, a lovely course and a friendly welcome was a great start. Then the added...

    Gross Score Protection,,Could This Be IMURGGATE?

    I was there and all I can say is ...... when I go shopping at the weekend I'm looking for a big hat and an eye patch to complete Fragger's golfing attire! But whatever he played out of his skin on the back nine, and Ian didn't simples!

    Most expensive bacon butty?

    I was treated (a corporate golf day) today to a round at Mentmore Golf Club. The course was in excellent condition, greens perhaps the best I have played this year. My golf was alright'sh finishing with 31points, on a very breezy day, as usual I missed far to many puts. Just one small thing...

    Mind games

    I tend to try and keep the ball in play and so I suppose I would vote for the chess game option. However it begs the question which is more frustrating, missing shot through a bad swing or by being to gung-ho?

    Mizuno Custom fitting DNA

    I have just received my JPX 800's first outing due tomorrow. The DNA fitting was incredibly simple, but seems to have allowed me to select the right shaft at long last. I did look at and tried the pro's but couldn't feel enough difference to spend the extra cash. I'm currently playing off...

    Football fans are they all like these idiots?

    I had the misfortune to travel 5 stops on the tube today with about a dozen Arsenal fans in the car. OK they were all hyped because they were on their way to the final at Wembley, but when they started singing certain songs I have to say my dander was well and truly up! With absolutely no...

    1st round of the New Year today

    Played my first round of 2011 today, and really enjoyed it. IMurg and I teed off around 9.30 with nobody else in sight on the course. I hadn't played for 6 weeks due to work commitments and the bad weather, so decided to try and "just swing the club, keep it simple and don't try to hard!"...

    How much better are the pros?

    watching in awe at Lee Westwood's display at the weekend, I wondered how many more strokes he would be ahead of me playing the same course off the same tees. A scratch golfer once told me that a tour pro would be about 28 stokes better than them on a course set up for the tour? So what do we...

    Is this the new coaching idea?

    Played with IMurg this morning. Got stuck behind a 4 ball and had to wait on every tee from the 4th and almost every second shot from there all the way through to the 10th tee. They showed no interest in letting us play through even though they had clearly seen us behind them. Then at the...
