    Indeed. I opted for sociopath.

    Negative self talk

    All of Region3's comment is absolute sense. Those who scoff, let them. I wish I could have worked this out during my teenage years - I'd have been a lot better player then… and, as a result, now. I can't help but think that many really talented players have this mental attitude from birth...

    Tour Golf stats last 20 years

    I wonder if more professionals hit irons off the tee back in 1991. You don't see it quite as much these days. I remember Faldo hitting a 1 iron off just about every tee in the 1990 US Open. It was harder to hit a straight drive back then, so players hit long irons. Courses are so much longer...

    Is it wrong to pretend you are someone else when you're over 30?

    Nothing wrong with that at all. I've had a vision of Faldo's swing in my mind since I first started playing. Howver, like you, I have started flirting (if that's the right word) with Donald's image - particularly on chip/pitch shots. A great positive mental image - never did anyone any harm.

    Things I Miss

    They should never have messed with that music. I miss beryllium Ben Hogan Special SI wedges, and the Ram Tom Watson models from the same era (late 80s/early 90s) Plus, the old fashioned Maxfli tour bags - maroon/cream colour. Wonderful.

    Old technology .... (whats in your naughty box)

    My TaylorMade TPA putter is 20 years old - but I've had it refurbished. I also have a 1990 TaylorMade Raylor with a dynamic gold shaft. I give it hit every-so often - it's great. As the OP, I remember the days when TaylorMade Burner drivers were considered head-and-shoulders above the rest...

    So Luke is changing clubs....

    I'm also amazed at that stat. I thought it was a widely excepted fact that his driving wasn't 'that straight'. I suppose by comparison to the rest of his game, it's not.

    Improvements in average handicap over last 40 yrs

    Re: Improvements in average handicap over last 40 I've heard it stated on here many times that average handicaps have remained constant for many, many years. Going off on a slight tangent, I read a piece by Karl Morris which stated that people who take up the game generally experience a...

    Rory to rejoin PGA tour

    A shame but he'll be back. Seems like only yesterday he said the US Tour 'isn't for me'. He's 22. 22-year-olds change their minds a lot. I hope he doesn't believe all the hype he'll get out there.

    Real or fake ?

    I've bought loads from the Bay and never had a problem, so long as you use some common sense: check all recent feedback, don't use a seller with less than a 99percent rating (preferably 100), asks questions about ANYTHING you aren't sure of, ALWAYS use paypal, and if it's too good to true steer...
