    Saltburn

    Thanks, it looks like golf is off the agenda now as my wife wants me to look at some houses in Redcar between the Coast Road and the race course. if you know the area I was wondering if you had an opinion on what that area is like? The wife wants to move near the sea/beach.

    Saltburn

    Staying for a couple of days in Saltburn and I see there are 2-3 courses Saltburn, Hunly and Cleveland. Cleveland may be a bit tough for me as it looks like a traditional links. Any advice on which course to play between Saltburn and Hunly?

    McIlroy

    He is as good as any other British golfer, I don’t listen to the noise that surrounds him and just watch the golf And quite often he is up there with the best.

    Do driver fittings work?

    I have only been playing 2.5 years and bought an 11.5 degree Cobra Airspeed FMAX with regular shaft early 2020. I went from SI 34 to 24 last year and my swing is a lot better. My swing speed is around 93Mph which is with a controlled swing and I knew my current driver is more for 85Mph or less...

    Do driver fittings work?

    Had my first ever driver fitting yesterday and it was excellent. Really enjoyed the whole process, digesting the trackman report this morning and it looks like I get 18-20 yards extra carry on average with the budget PXG and the Ping G425. Furthest drive was with the Stealth but far more...

    Glasses.

    I too wear a cap and I find it keeps them rain off the lenses and also keeps my glasses on. The lenses are rimless at the bottom of each lense as well and are transition lenses. It is a mild irritation if they darken on a winters morning but they are protecting my eyes in the summer. I also...

    Thanks so the hook could be partly due to the Slimmer grip?

    Grip Size

    I have Cobra Hybrids and Fairway woods. All of them have the Cobra Lamkin REL Midsize grip except my 3 hybrid which has Crossline Black Standard Lamkin. The 3 Hybrid is the only club that I tend to get very hooky with. The grip does feel slimmer in my hands but it could just be a different...
