    Garmin GPS Dead

    I have a Garmin Approach G3 which can't pick up any GPS signal at all. I've updated the software and maps, tried the hard reset but nothing works. It has no idea where I am and can't find any courses closer than 999 miles away I have had it years so might have just packed up but has anyone...

    Poulter - Play him again before Sunday?

    Having a nightmare today and no birdies at all. Despite having a very poor year you cant blame McGinley for picking him as a wild card but given his form I don't think I would pick him for any other groups until the singles. Be nice to see Westwood and McDowell out this afternoon.

    Golf in (South) Wales

    Yes played at both. Machynys is worth a trip but like Porthcawl can play very different depending on the weather. Southerndown is ok but not brilliant IMO and has lots of sheep wandering around. Some nice courses around the Gower as well. Langland Bay and Pennard are both really nice courses.

    Monty - Senior PGA

    Well done and a great win but you cant compare this with a real 'Major'. How many of the world's top 50 were playing? Not taking anything away from him and I hope he goes on to win more senior events (I will be watching at Royal Porthcawl for the Seniors open).

    Anywhere selling leather golf gloves on the cheap?

    Costco do their own brand ones which are plain leather. Can't remember the exact cost but they were pretty cheap for a pack of 3.

    Royal Liverpool

    Played there years ago when I was in uni in Loverpool. Typical links but wasnt wowed either (not the world's biggest links fan if I'm honest). Lots of temporary greens on the front 9 when we played.

    Laser or GPS?

    One of the reasons for banning smart phones was that most have a compass app as standard. Quite how using a compass on a golf course is supposed to help you I don't know!

    Laser or GPS?

    Yes Garmins are allowed in comps. Lasers are but only if the measure distance only. If they are able to compensate distances for slopes or give any other info, e.g wind direction etc they are not allowed. This is the reason Smart Phones are not allowed as they have other features which can be...

    Laser or GPS?

    I have a Hillman laser which is very good but earlier this summer I bought a Garmin G3. The laser now lives in the boot of my car. The laser was good but it can be difficult to locate the flag on distances of 150 yards+. It was also a bit of a faff to keep taking it out of the case on each...

    Why Force A Bar Tab Credit

    £100 in my club as well. I'm all for it as it encourages members to use the club house which improves the social nature of the club. Unfortunately our bar doesnt open until 12 on Saturdays and I play early so am usually done by 11.30. We usually arrange an end of season bash where my mates...

    @westwoodlee

    Made himself look a bit of a nob IMO. Must be difficult to do but just block / ignore them. He is starting to sound like Poulter in resorting to 'I've won £X Million' whenever anyone questions his success (of lack thereof in the majors). I'd like to see him just throw caution to the wind in...
