    Inconstant Ping i500

    Talking to a Pro today & another very low H/C player my complaint seems to be a common one. Also some of your replies on here seem to back up what I'm saying. I'm surprised tbh that this issue hasn't been highlighted a bit more. It's definitely put me off this type of head design in the future...

    Inconstant Ping i500

    Hi all. I haven't been on here for a while & I've missed the banter a bit, so i'm back. Anyway here is the issue. After moving from game improvement Ping G20 irons to Ping i500 irons, I was initially very impressed with the lovely flight & accuracy I was getting, but the honeymoon has not...

    When do you think you will next play golf?

    I am not bothered about playing at the moment due to the weather, but I know by the beginning of March I will be gagging to get out there. I also think that as the cases & hospitalisations drop & once they have vaccinated the top 4 groups, the pressure to lift the lock-down will become immense...

    Annual Jan / Feb shutdown?

    I wasn't thinking of some sort of organised national 2 month break, as others have said, different courses vary. But, undoubtedly some (mainly parkland courses) do suffer unnecessary damage in traditionally the 2x worst months of the year & I personally think that these worst affected courses...

    Annual Jan / Feb shutdown?

    I must confess that I am not too bothered about the latest lockdown. Most parkland courses inc mine are a bog this time of year & we are on temps due to frost. Our temps must be the worst in the country so I am not bothered about playing anyway. I think most parkland courses would probably...

    Course open when it shouldn't

    I haven't played since before Christmas. It started raining day after day & became a bog. So it's carry only. Now we have a nightly frost, so it's rock hard in places & a bog in others + the country's worst temporary greens & yet I look on today's booking sheet & it's rammed with four balls...

    National Golf Restrictions - how can England be open and Wales closed?

    It's the same argument that was had during the lockdowns. Banning golf or tennis for that matter makes zero sense as there is little or no chance of passing on an infection whilst playing. I can only assume it is done because the ones making the decisions are stupid / It's seen as elitist & the...

    5-wood recommendations?

    The easiest woods to hit consistently long & straight in my opinion are the Ping G400 / G410 Awesome clubs, I love mine.

    Is this an especially wet Winter where you play?

    Most courses in the area are closed due to the rain. I stopped playing 1 week ago when we went to carry only. I'm not too fussed atm, the course is a bog, it's cold, wet & not enjoyable. I fully expect another national lockdown in Jan, so I am not expecting to play much golf between now & April.

    Where did your first tee shot go?

    Missed the fairway left. Blocked myself out. Duffed my chip out. Chipped out again Missed the green with the 4th Knifed my shot back through the green. 2x puts for a blob. The rest of the round was ok 2x blobs & 33 points. Great to be back.

    Booking tee slots to ensure maximum capacity

    Initially we were restricted to 2x 18 holes per week. They scrapped that yesterday as the booking system didn't get massively overloaded. We can now play as many times as we like. I am glad that my 1st game back today will be in dry conditions & no Frost, so on full greens. Happy days.

    What tier are you in?

    I would be very surprised this time of year if taking that approach would be cost effective. They would have to unfurlough the staff & pay them as normal. Realistically how many people will have a substantial meal after golf?
