Re: Orka Irons - PS9 CB & MB I can vouch for these I have a set of Kii, irons also had them custom fitted like GB72. Good clubs in the low to mid price bracket.(www.orkagolf.co.uk)

Nico, Weybrook is a good course and they are currently extending it adding another 9 holes I think. I am not a member but when ive played there it has always been in good condition with the greens in particular very good. Theres lots of courses in this area, Im a memeber at Test Valley which I...

Chessington without a doubt, I was fitted there for a driver 3&5 wood and hybrid and it was a great experience,got to try loads of different clubs not just the latest ones but got the FT5 cos i was hitting it straighter but also prefer the head shape. Sad I know but even the head covers you get...

I can vouch for both cheaper and more pricey gear. I have Orka irons as mentioned by Homer which are mid to low price and am very happy with them(i think some other forum members on here have them as well) But I also have a Callaway driver and woods and a good strike with these compared to a...

Just had a lesson a few days ago, I was swinging out to in and the pro told me to focus on the back part of the ball nearest to me and feel like you are hitting it as if you are pushing it to the right which should encourage an inside path as well as starting the downswing by feeling like you...

Lucky sod, thing is will you still be married by the time you fly back !

Im in Basingstoke so might be able to make June 22. I know someone who plays at East Horton as well but not played there so I would be up for it, just got to check Im not working.

Looks to me as if Montys getting desperate, is this really going to help him improve and get in Faldos team ? I can understand him trying new things & I would like to see him do well again, not confident though...hope im wrong. I agree with his point about making the Ryder cup 4 days instead of...

Good point on the wear & tear, we have fairly wide and long tee areas on most holes so they can be moved around to prevent wear and the yardages only change a few yards in most cases. Often in the winter they are bought forward closer to the yellows.

At our club nearly all the members always play off the whites, this definately helps when the comps come along. There is one hole that they do make longer for certain comps a par 5 goes from 529 to 605 ?? I wouldn't mind but two holes before this is a 575 yard par 5. I am well happy if I reach...

The retailers get away with it because as long as they have sold the same gear in a certain amount of stores for a short period of time at the higher price they can then say its reduced from £xxx to £xxx. Loads of the Jan sale stuff for example is sold in selected stores between october and...

Some advice on starting the downswing please. How do you start the down swing ? I have been told it should start from the lower body, dont know if thats right but if so what exactly does that mean and feel like ? I do have a lesson booked soon but interested to hear your views.

Was wondering what is the biggest difference in scores you have posted in consecutive rounds. The reason being I shot my best ever score breaking 90 for the first time scoring 88 (handicap 23) last Weds, I then shot 106 on Sunday 18 strokes worse ! My front 9 in both rounds was 42 compared to...

Hi, Looking forward to playing in my first medal on Sunday but was thinking of best way to prepare, do i hit a few on the range first then a bit of putting practise or just loosen up and go, was wondering what some of you guys do before a competition ? I reckon I will be pretty nervous as i...

Ive played in Spain for the last 3 years ( 5 courses each time)and we only got asked for certificates once, but i would have one just in case, you dont want to be turned away after paying just because you didnt have a piece of paper.Either make one yourself or if you know someone who is a member...
