    The difficulties in arranging golf holidays for groups. Spain or Portugal or somewhere else. Everyone has different opinions on the golf courses...

    I would highly recommend South Africa, I use to live there and have been taking groups there for the past 7 years. You have many areas you can go to, Cape Town and the garden route. Durban and surrounding areas, and sun city and also Johannesburg. It is a long flight there, but most of the...

    Jumbomax jumbo or mcc midsize grips

    I am a little limited for golf shops here in Brazil, but understand your point of view. It’s a feel thing and something that suits me won’t necessarily suit yourself.

    Jumbomax jumbo or mcc midsize grips

    Hi, I want to try some bigger grips, as I had wrist surgery earlier this year and smaller grips feel like I am having to choke the grip all the time. Having played racket sports to a good level I just realised that none of my rackets had small grips on. The downside is that I live in Brazil...

    Anyone else not keen on Texas Scrambles ?

    I always play 2 - 3 rounds Texas scramble when we go away on tour, it works with the group as most of them are higher higher handicappers. They feel more involved and much prefer this format to stableford. The other rounds are also a mixture of better ball and also we play a couple of games...

    Bushnell V4 laser rangefinder

    Unfortunately mine packed up, just like yours. I think I gave Bushnell a ring and said that it had stopped working, they gave me money off a new one.
