This isn’t strictly true. Most are useless outside but some professional quality laser lines work outdoors fine. I haven’t investigated what one would cost now but my work one was just under £600 a few years back with tripod etc.

There has been an inordinate amount of money spent on course improvements but they only seem to have mitigated the issues caused by the rampant development of surrounding areas. I speak regularly to environment agency staff and their concerns are always overridden by the need to meet the...

Shut again and rightly so. Only a couple of downland courses down this way are coping. I’m moving later this year to between Chichester and Southampton. I’ve looked and apart from Goodwood which has a horrible credit membership system, I can only see myself joining Alresford, Hockley or Royal...

Hence “listen you little **** I nearly ******* killed you because that dumb bitch who was supposed to have raised you better etc etc etc” was not uttered. The pro shop was visited and I invited them to view the cctv. I feel sorry for the staff there as unbeknown to the aforementioned...

Using the range this morning due to the course being too wet to bother I took myself to the furthest extent and set up on my own. Only 50 balls and do some work on impact. Halfway through 2 mothers and their 3 brats enter the range shouting and running. It’s a Saturday so I ignore them and...

I wouldn’t try to teach a donkey algebra, therefore, I wouldn’t attempt to modify your attitude of wilful ignorance and arrogance with the carrot approach. You’d just get a buggy from the pro shop approach you and tell you to adhere to etiquette or sling your hook.

While I suspect someone is trolling for reactions here, the overriding attitude “I shalt not let thy past” is shockingly prevalent. We played as a 3 ball on Mannings Heath Waterfall the other day including requesting a 2 ball to play through in sub 3.5 hours. We were keeping pace with...

You’ll probably find if they were younger they’d be on road bikes dawdling along wearing hand-me-down cycle team lycra. Whenever people with poor manners or etiquette are coerced into changing, they try to find a way to act the victim. They’re like neighbours who let their visitors park...

Loads do. I use my Srixon XTX2s when I’m not using my Mizuno MP32s but they’ve been out of production for years. If you want to experiment get a 2nd hand set of cavity back Mizuno MPs/Titleist CBs/Cobra forged CB/Callaway X forged, to name but a few. You’ll find there’s tons of sets...

In the proximity of the sweetspot yes, more towards the perimeter no. Blades react far more consistently for curvature across the face. You get more punished with distance and trajectory for straying away from the sweetspot. I actually find cavity backs easier to work controllably if the...

It all depends on how it is sold. With a car on HP you could be deprived if the use of the car via a legal process E.g. a ban for drink driving. If the club introduces a customer for finance and then does something to deprive the customer of the product without a solid legal footing ...

Anyone who is unprofessional enough to circulate an email like this to the membership is a liability IMHO. It smacks of the old school clique and with the right solicitors involved could end the financial viability of a club. There’s a few things that would potentially make this situation...

It’d be a much fairer test giving the different shafts to a low handicap golfer with a slow swing speed. With a faster speed to can subconsciously feel the shaft load and time it through talent. Give a sub 100mph driver guy a tour x-stiff Diamana whiteboard and it plain won’t work. Rule of...

I’m the 1st person to disagree with Homer on pretty much anything normally. On this occasion he’s 100% right. In addition to his points the game is completely counter intuitive. Seeing what you do from a 3rd person perspective and giving/receiving feedback enables progress and change...

Of course. Anything else is lunacy!
