    Moving to Scotland - advice please.

    Thanks Stevie. I should know by the end of the week if I'll need to move. Fingers crossed. Though a little research can't hurt. Renting initially. As It'll me and a car full of gear that'll only be moving, so probably somewhere furnished. As usual I want cheap, but a nice isn, area. I need to...

    Moving to Scotland - advice please.

    Hi everyone. Yep I'm still alive!! :-) Hopefully by the end of the week I'll know if I'm moving to Scotland, well Glasgow to be more precise ish. I need some straight advice on areas to live as I don't have a clue. The office is west of Glasgow between Glasgow and Paisley just south of the...

    iOS 7

    Thanks. But that was the first thing I turned off. Most location services turned off as well. Push is turned off.......... Now the damn camera has locked up. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Still prefer it to Android though. :-)

    iOS 7

    Where do I start!! Calendar no longer syncs with iMac. Eats battery in a couple of hours. Everything is slower. Takes longer to charge. Icons and colours make it look like a toy. My 4s is so hot that I can use it as a hand warmer. A lot of in app screens don't line up properly. Can't easily...

    Undercover Boss USA Taylormade Golf

    Not sure if anyone has seen this already. The quote from the CEO near the start about there being less golfers and needing them to buy more kit they don't need was interesting. http://youtu.be/02Q9laLt1pA It's a shame that this has become less of a 'business' programme, and more about...

    Wedges Selections Help?

    I don't think anyone makes a set of irons with a PW up around 50 degrees do they? Probably nearer 45 now-a-days?

    DMD's on phones - I wish they would sort it properly

    I was going to make this point earlier, but felt that I'd said enough! This is another reason why the current rule makes no sense.

    DMD's on phones - I wish they would sort it properly

    You're not in any breech of the rule by having your smart phone in your bag, or pocket. (I know you weren't specifically referring to this, but it's an interesting point.) But you are if you use one as a DMD, even if as a DMD it does not use the compass or other banned capabilities. This is why...

    DMD's on phones - I wish they would sort it properly

    I agree about the weather app situation. I've raced yachts most of my life, so if there's one thing I understand it's the forecast verses on the spot weather info. The whole weather thing is a red herring. So it's irrelevant. Though not according to the R&A as I understand it. Dumb ruling. No...

    Tacky hand resin

    Do a google search for Gorilla Grip. It's like an old fashioned tac rag, that you can use on your hands and grip. Drummers and pole dancers use it. Golfers would normally use them in the rain, but would work just as well for sweaty hands. To use just wipe your hands and grips with the cloth and...

    DMD's on phones - I wish they would sort it properly

    Having watched and participated in these DMD threads since joining 5 years ago. One thing is clear. Confusion. Though I'm not sure why? Essentially, it's easy to assume that using your smartphone as a DMD in a comp is illegal. You might think the rule is wrong, but it's the rule. A list of...
