    Starters Complete Sets - Help Please

    I really would avoid starter sets, particularly in the begining. Give it a while then try them out before buying. The clubs I like, you may hate and not get on with.

    The lengths some people go to to play this wonderful game!

    My favourite has to be the X2 Golf from Segway. http://www.segway.com/individual/models/x2-golf.php

    drivers Vs 3 wood

    two weeks ago I couldn't hit with my driver for toffee, if I could hit it straight, it would go about as far as my 3W. I then brought a £90 driver from Benross (I did try others like Yonex) and found I could add at least 40 yards to every drive, the difference between the longest differences is...

    Darren Gough

    No this isn't in the wrong section, he is actually a keen golfer. Anyway for those in the Milton Keynes area, Darren will be appearing at the relaunch of the Three Locks course on 4th July.

    New Wilson FG Tour irons

    They appear to have Marmite looks, personally I think they look great, would love to give these a go, trouble is I would probably try them and love the play. I would then need to figure out a way of telling the other half I need yet another set of irons :(

    Battery Help

    If you have lead acid batteries, by far the most common, they will hold the charge pretty well but they don't like being fully discharged.

    Longest Drive

    Just set my record today with my new Benross driver, bit of a freak shot I admit but 296 yards, now just to get them all that long and going straight :) Previous record with my untrustworthy Slazenger was 190 yards, on a side note, I notice all the driver manufacturers are now making drivers...

    Learning to use drivers etc

    Doesn't that prove my point though that skill is still important?

    Learning to use drivers etc

    Nice to see you read my post Keef :) The reality as I see it is there are a range of clubs on the market today, starting with some very forgiving clubs which are great for beginners, ending with some top end clubs aimed at the pros. If a pro used some of these simple clubs they would not play...

    Driver or 3W?

    I had a fitting recently and tried several clubs and ended up getting a Benross 3 Max. It really is about finding one that suits you personally. Your local club will probably give you a fitting for free and let you try out several clubs with a PGA pro who will watch your swing and listen to what...

    Driver or 3W?

    I never use a driver but tee off with a 3 wood instead. I would really strongly suggest that you go to your local club and ask them for a fitting, explain what you want and they will advise you accordingly. As a beginner (like myself) you might struggle with even the most forgiving of drivers.

    Finally Joined

    I am soon to be in the same boat. Just need to identify the right club with a course that is well suited to me. Hope you enjoy the club and get that handicap down nicely.
