    Pulling no punches.

    Totally agree with the above. This forum, as has been posted already, is now full of rubbish "golf bore" and happy clappy posts, hugely cliquey, and with a noticeably elitist tinge often spoken regarding Golf Magic. The worst though is the sychophancy surrounding all things magazine, don't dare...

    Putting-the Achilles heel

    impossible to tell without seeing what you do, but having a guess, do you break your wrists and 'hit' the ball? A good putting stroke should basically be rocking the shoulders with your putter simply coming through without any extra 'hit'. It could be this that is leading to eratic distance...

    Driver - Left and Right : Why?

    Best bit of advice I ever got from one of my mates many years ago - never give advice. ;)

    Prepaying for use of clubhouse restaurant and bar

    'tis tough in that situation, thing is if they didn;t do this, they would just have to stick much the same amount directly onto your fees, so there's no easy answer.

    Read more than just two threads then Harry, you'll find plenty things of a positive ilk, a selection below that took me 10 seconds to find. This is a golf forum, and just because it is GM's own forum, I see no need for the sycophantic nonsense posted by some. Is free and critical thinking now...

    Prepaying for use of clubhouse restaurant and bar

    Freddie, we've had a barney already on shorts, which is a matter of opinion, and I dont want to fall out again, but what Chris states here is a fact. 20 years ago no club had a bar levy, now it is the norm, becasue members turn up, play 18, then go home, even in a medal.

    What a load of utter pish. What you have said is exactly what is wrong with this country today. Never mind if it is any good, as long as I get something for nothing! Hand out looking for a freebie, with no thought to the contribution that you won't have to bother making. I have been a tester, so...

    Hapless, I'd appreciatte if you'd stop trolling me in every thread, but as you seem intent on it, I sent you a PM about it rather than clog up threads with drivel, and have asked for my account to be deleted. The PM was not abusive, it did point out a few home truths though. Feel free to post...

    I beg your pardon? If you want to throw childish analogies around, you sound like the school swot, always with her hand up, me sir me sir. The point I was making in the OP, a long time ago was as follows: You have essentially said the same thing above, whether you like it or not, in that you...

    So in essence then, you agree that the reviews are pointless, and are in your eyes simply a way to get something for nothing.

    Driver - Left and Right : Why?

    While I don't like giving advice, if I was fit to give advice I'd be a pro ;), there are one or two glaring ones imo. Lets start with the easy one, shot #3, your stance is closed right up, causing you to swing round your body and hook. Make sure you are square at address. Shot #1, you seem to...

    Setanta in administration

    I'm currently redundant myself, wasn't aware though that peoples jobs were the topic here, it was their sports coverage, and for that, whoever picks up the slack, be it SKY or ESPN, it can only be better.
