I had this conversation with a chap I played with in the swindle on Sunday. He told me I need to hit driver because despite the fact that I won the swindle, I am a driver chicken. In March this year, it was the best club in my bag and I was loving it. I had two bad rounds and it has been in...

I’m not sure why I’d even consider a club with a large joining fee? Round our way, there’s one with a reasonably significant fee and all it has meant to me is I have no desire to play there. I’ve played every other course in the area and am a member of one that has a token joining fee (£75)...

I leave my brolly up attached to my trolley and walk underneath it while pushing the trolley. Surely that’s what it’s designed to do. On my trolley, they even sell an extender piece to make sure you can get underneath. It works brilliantly

not enough - I'm trying to get out 2+ times a week but injured my foot in April so only got out 3 times last month. grrr January - 15 May (so far) - 9

I’m not superstitious in any way but I always find someone else’s pitch mark to repair if I have a birdie putt. Some kind of Karma thing where if I do a good thing then I’ll get to make my birdie putt !

It was great - We played in March, the weather was good (dry and a little wind) and the course superb. It was frozen when we got there so we went out about an hour late, but there was only ~15 people playing that day so not a problem. Loved the practice range with the little stack of balls as...

I'm not fast, and I have stuck with the AD333. I like the feel on the wedges and putter balanced with the cost (I get s/h ones off facebook for cheap) but I assume that I am probably sacrificing distance for this but don't really know?

I like to jump around the course when it's quiet - For me, it is one of the main benefits of being a member. I will play 9 if it is busy / middle of the day etc, but if not, I'll play 1-6, jump onto 11 and sometimes jump back on to the end of the front 9 to finish I can make loops of 6,9, 12...

I'm a member at a course locally but I regularly pay to play the local 9 holer (Trumpington / Cambridge Lakes). I can get round in a lunchtime so it is about 1hr 25 mins door-to-door and £8.50 for me. The greens are great, it's a different challenge, and it really focusses the mind on what I am...

A set of Titleist DTRs and a Great Big Bertha driver. Nice clubs given to me by a Uni mate and the irons lasted me 15 years or so. I recently switched to a set of new Cobras but don't have the heart to get rid of the old set

I'm another long back-swinger - John Daly-esque I like to think. My big thought is slow the back swing and takeaway right down to get a nice wrist-set and angle where I want it. If I have a slower backswing, I can control the over swing and generally the result is much more consistency...

It was an 8 year break for me. Could I have played on when the first came along - I guess so - Would the wife have allowed me - probably - but the truth for me was that when they young, I felt like I was spending enough time out with work and what was left of my social life, and that the...

I'm at Girton, but also play Trumpington par 3, Kingsway Melbourn, plus some of the others on occasion

our course has just closed in Cambridge - waterlogged - ugh - could be days until it re-opens...

9 hole par 3 this morning after a weekend on the beers in Cardiff for the rugby. Not expecting much, but opened with a beauty of an 8 iron into a two club strong wind for an 8 ft missed birdie putt. Started with 3 pars, had a brain fart in the middle with some duffed chips for a criminal 5 & a...
