Played at St George's Hill on Friday. Absolutely glorious and well worth a visit. I'm sure your partner would enjoy a round there.

Sorry didn't see the reply until now. The top is now listed on ebay, with a photo.

Hadley Wood is very nice possibly more N rather than NW though. Just outside the M25 near Radlett is Porter's Park. Moor Park near Rickmansworth is also a nice track and the last time I played there the greens were amazing. Beaconsfield, Birkhampstead and Ashridge are also lovely courses.

I have got 2 tickets for the Friday and can't wait. Now to sort out somewhere to stay that isn't too close to the course.

I think Tiger will be focused solely on golf once his divorce is final ( ;) ) and then look out Nicklaus's record. As for taking over as World number 1 or major challenger I'd go for Casey (if and when fit), Mickleson or (hopefully) Lee Westwood. My fear is it will Anthony Kim who I can't...

Make sure you take the head back outside your normal swingpath and keep your hands in front of the clubhead at impact.

I think this is one of the longest drivers I have ever hit. Unfortunately it also has one of the smallest sweet spots and if you miss it you will lose a lot of distance. I now use a 905R which is excellent and has a much bigger sweet spot. Can be had for sensible money. If you have a bigger...

Manual trolleys cause your back to twist into an awkward position and in the past I have spoken to many players who have had back aches and problems as a result. This is especially the case on hilly courses. If your budget can run to it I would recommend an electric trolley. I personally carry...

I found the standard specs on AP2s to be more upright than the MP60s I had before. As a result the AP2s had to be adjusted to lie 1 degree flat even though am 6ft tall. Came as a surprise to me but they work a treat and seem to sit perfectly. Previously I have a set of Pings that were 1 degree...

Life is too short to play on a course you aren't happy with and where you just get frustrated. It is after all supposed to be pleasant and relaxing. May be better to be a pay and play golfer until you get accepted to one of the three courses on your list.

I've stuck with one pro. As long as you are happy with them, and I am, you build a relationship with them and they know your swing and faults and can spot where you are going wrong very quickly. I didn't pick up a club until I was 37 and started having lessons a couple of years later when...

Hopefully the link in my signature will work as there are plenty of photos on the club website.

We are lucky at our course as the greekeeper cuts the greens first thing in the morning and starts with the earliest greens numerically, at least for the first few holes. My group normally play at 7am and we rarely see him until later in the round and even then he is on a much later green...

This doesn't apply in this case as it didn't strike the "Player, Partner, Caddie or their equipment" Free drop under the point above which the ball is suspended.

My club is pretty good for new members. We have a Captain's Swindle every Sunday at 9.30am(except on Medal days) and all are welcome. We also have open days for prospective new members and an Open pairs competition which is only open to members who bring a guest player. On the club wesite there...
