Although the exchange rate has moved since the BIL did this, there are still plenty of great deal to be done. I've just checked out the average price for some top end Mizzies and discovered that it works out at £500 when here are asking for £800 so a whopping £300 saving. KZG over there are...

I did a bit of research a couple of years ago and proved to myself that I could buy high end equipment at half the price, by doing it in the states. At the time I was playing KZG and my brother in law was wanting to get some. I put him in touch with my club fitter but it was too far really ...

In an age where every aeroplane carrier is ripping us off for baggage allowance etc, and charging around £40 each way for golf clubs, someone asked me why I don't post them via FedEx or UPS as it works out much cheaper and they arrive at your villa/hotel at a time to suit you? Has anyone any...

I never bother on the practice putting green now, as I'm brilliant on there. There are plenty of times when I can't get the pace right, so although I see the line I can watch it die and turn sideways or watch it miss the cup by an inch and skate well past. My pro reckons I have a good technique...

Thats the fella Gareth. You just get through screwing up the par 3 because a gust of wind stopped your ball and threw into the ditch. Walk off with no points, and up to the next hole, looking at a long carry over rubbish. You hit a great ball thinking 'ave it' only to see it pitch and turn right...

DRS I'm a member at Wychwood and can confirm the following: Great course with some great holes. The rough can be brutal, you will lose some balls, Can be megga slow because of the amount of corporate and society gigs going on and it pisses me off at times. Long walk between some greens and the...

Its a great problem to have because for the last couple of years the only bouncy fairways I've played on were in Spain. So its like we're all having a couple of weeks golf abroad at the moment, so don't worry about it, enjoy it and club down or choke down on the grip.

Lee hits a great ball and is one of the most consistent on either tour. he does have a problem with his short game and has used every man and his dog over the last couple of years, including long time mate pete Cowan and that numpty Mark Rowe. Lee would have won at least 3 more events last...

Brilliant course, but you're right, it is criminal. The other downside for me is that it took me 90-seconds from my front door to the 1st tee. Could have a few beers and walk home after playing.

Jamie's working over in Dubai I believe, but was recently club treasurer and committe member, I would imagine he'd be gutted, because when the previous owner died, we were looking at buying the club. We knew it was a potential gold mine and had well over 400 members. The only thing that held the...

For those of you who have played it, you will have proabbly enjoyed a great day out. Unfortunatley this fantastic 'Hawtree' designed course, which boasts some of the best greens in England has been closed for good. The original owner sadly died a couple of years ago, and the club was bought by a...

Been playing for a few years without any lessons, until last year. Wish I'd done it sooner but thought he would rip my game apart and start again. I was wrong and even had a couple more over the last fortnight. Grogger, good to see a fellow long suffering Leeds fan, and living in Cheshire...

For the last 3 seasons I've been handicapped around the 18 mark, and its as frustrating as hell. Being at that level you know you will get plenty of pars and the odd birdie, but also accept that you can really screw up on the odd hole. Last summer I played 2 consecutive rounds of 74 gross (2...

There's a massive difference in quality between our usual belts and these. 59 Belts are expensive because each one is hand made from a CNC milled block, unless you choose an aluminium buckle. The belt straps are hand tooled, and the locking pins are great. You can design your own and even have...

Anyone on here seen anyone over here wearing one of these belts? fantastic kit with a unique buckle that's interchangeable. I tried everywhere in this country to get my hands on one, but finished up having to go direct to the owner on-line. http://www.59belts.com/ Why doesn't someone over...
