    WHS doesn't work

    Apologies, I thought that had been highlighted in an earlier post. It garnered a lot of attention in local social media also (as you can imagine!) so it’s been hard to keep up! Non-Q, significantly shorter winter track, mats everywhere (apart from really heavy, unmaintained rough), unseasonal...

    WHS doesn't work

    Not sure returns are compulsory for non-qualifying?

    WANTED: Heavy/x-stiff Taylormade driver shaft

    That might be of interest alright mate. As I mentioned above, it’s as much for a trial as anything else. What sort of price would you have on it? (Including postage as I’m across the pond in NI.) PM if you’d prefer, thanks.

    WANTED: Heavy/x-stiff Taylormade driver shaft

    Hi guys, been keeping an eye on the bay this past while and local classifieds but thought I'd chance my arm on here in case anyone has anything gathering dust... I picked up an M2 last year with a stock Fujikura Pro 60 S shaft in it but can't get on with it at all. Went back to my old faithful...

    Lessons!? Rick Shiels

    The choice of coach will probably be a very personal thing, evident by different people having very different opinions/reviews on certain coaches, so will just be a case of 'whatever works for you', but I would probably go local first for sure and see how it goes. You need to give him a fair...

    Adidas shoes

    Have they not claimed to have sorted this recently though, maybe even just this year? (previous posts in this thread were over a year ago) I have always gone up a size in all types of adidas footwear and have experienced the heel wear issues myself, but have always found them comfortable shoes...

    Does all Adidas golf stuff run big?

    I've found that some of the Puremotion stuff (do they even still do it?) was a slimmer fit (I think they called it 'athletic cut'!) so true to size, but just like yourself and Grieve above, I go with small for a better slim fit. Normally spot on in polos but can sometimes come up short in the...

    Is always playing stableford stopping you getting a lower handicap ??

    We have this all the time down at ours Gary, but it would be more akin to 3rd nett rather than 1st in terms of prize value. Don't think there's a lower eligibility limit on it though, but it would be a very rare occasion that less than 30 gross would be the best in I suppose. It's not quite as...

    Harrington and McIlroy

    Saw that myself the other day, thought it was a great read.

    2 iron. Hybrid or 5 wood!!

    Took me a while to work out the swear filter there for mis-hits! :D But would agree with your thoughts really... I've only ever been on trackman once, when starting back about 3 years ago and looking for something a little fresher than my TaylorMade Burner Bubble driver, but can remember that I...

    2 iron. Hybrid or 5 wood!!

    Couldn't agree more with you there. The Srixon has definitely made it onto my list from the reviews on here. Like yourself, I think I'd like to pick something up so then I have the choice at least...and obviously torture myself every Friday night thinking about ground conditions and wind...

    2 iron. Hybrid or 5 wood!!

    Ah right, very good! I must remember to give you a shout if/when we're next booking in up there! Funny you mention the Srixon also, it was only on a current thread in the For Sale/Wanted section on here that I had heard of those, so both it and the TM UDI have been added to the ebay saved...

    2 iron. Hybrid or 5 wood!!

    Interesting to hear that you think their days are numbered mate...I have noticed there are quite a few advocates on here of the higher lofted hybrids in place of the longer irons. At the risk of playing devil's advocate though, is there still a bit of a stigma attached to the whole thing that...

    2 iron. Hybrid or 5 wood!!

    Seems to be alright! The advances in equipment during my time away from the game seem to have been monumental, so I'm still only getting caught up really. Ideally I'd love to get a try of a handful of them, but our options are pretty limited locally. Also, I'd be a 'second-hand market only' man...

    2 iron. Hybrid or 5 wood!!

    In a similar boat to this myself at the minute... When I started back a few years ago I picked up a cheap 17deg 909h as they weren't really too common when I stopped playing and had never tried a hybrid/rescue before. Thought it was a weapon, and still can be, but like yourself I can struggle...
