    Car Recommendations

    Ive got a E350 E-Class estate that has a cavernous boot area that easily takes my bats in their cart bag and electric trolley, everything is nicely hidden under the shelf and there is still plenty of space left for another bag. Performance is pretty special too for such a big car and on a run I...

    Ball flight and colour.

    Ive been using the new yellow and orange DX2's for the last few rounds and have decided that I can see the orange much better in flight and in the distance when they land. They do seem to disappear out of bounds as quickly as a white one though.

    What's on your Christmas list?

    Mine keeps randomly refusing to connect to my phone. Meant last weekend it would not load the course and I had to just estimate distances, wouldnt have help even had it worked as couldnt hit the ball anyway.

    A new Vivoactive 3 as my original Vivoactive is playing up. SWMBO told me to go and buy it tonight and has contributed already so a nice early pressie for a change.

    Best thing for cleaning a steel shaft

    I used some of this a while back to clean my old club shafts up and it worked a treat. Parker Hale Youngs 303 Gun Oil. It left a nice protective covering as well.

    Out of bounds

    Thank you. That is how I understood it to be, it was just something someone else said that put a little doubt in my mind.

    Would you buy a diesel car now?

    Ive just changed my Diesel C200 auto Merc that was coming up for 10 years old for a rear old E350 Diesel estate, fuel economy on the new one is better even with the bigger engine and the road tax is lower! I plan to keep it for 5-6 years as by then the hybrids should be a much better option.

    They were very good in Germany last year on the autobahn as well sitting at somewhere north of 130mph, very stable.

    Winter tyres...should they be a requirement?

    http://www.michelin.co.uk/GB/en/tyres/products/crossclimate.html I had a set of these fitted to me C-Class early last year and have found them to be excellent in both the winter and summer. When it was icy it used to be a struggle to get the car of the slight incline on my drive but now I don't...
