53 points of 20 handicap, 3 over gross. It was just a knock with a mate the first time i played my away course. The next comp I played in i went out with my winners speech already thought out then got .1 back!

I have just sold some ping G10s 4-pw for £165 and some Callaway Big Bertha irons 4-sw for £70 on eBay and I would say they are about average prices. The difference between irons from 2005 to now is next to nothing so as long as you get some in good condition older models are good value.

Try using a rain grip glove, rain or sweat makes no difference and they are fine to use when it is dry.

I'm in a similar boat with a set of Ping G10 irons, I haven't got enough posts to sell on here and eBay fees are quite expensive so I was thinking of either selling or part exchanging them with Carnoustie golf shop. Looking at the online prices they are just as cheap as American golf and will...

Callaway Tour i(s) or pro v 1

I carry a 64 but only really use it if I need to stop the ball quickly on a down slope etc. I never use it for a full swing but its great for little dinks around the green or out of bunkers with tight wet sand. Mine is a ping TS so is a low bounce, never tried one with high bounce but it...

All of the articles are in a book called the modern fundamentals of golf. It can be had of amazon for about £10 in hardback.

Handicap 20 PB: +3 PB in a comp:+18

£800 for full membership at Matfen Hall and £250 as an intermediate at Garesfield. Both good value for what they offer.

I use the pink or the orange ones depending on the hole. I am definitely getting a bit more distance hitting from the orange ones but more accuracy from the slightly lower pink ones.

I found premier lake balls to be the cheapest for pearl grade balls, I'm not sure about the cheaper grades but definitely worth a look.

I have just bought a 14 way Titleist stand bag from clubhouse golf, they were the cheapest I could find and I have used them before without any problems. Snainton golf is normally cheap as well.

Cheers for all the positive comments everyone. My Handicap couldn’t be more accurate, I play at least 1 competition a week at my home course sometimes I play 3 a week if work allows. I have only been playing the game for about 18 months so I don’t for one minute think my handicap should be...

Played my first round at my new second club Garesfield today, I have been going round in 90s at Matfen for a about a year now with the occasional round below 90. Went out in 40 (2 over) and back in 35 (1 over). 2 birdies, 5 bogeys and 11 pars for a gross 75! Stableford worked out at 53 points...

At Matfen short game area members can use our own balls and non members can use the area if they buy some balls at the range or use their own if they pay to play the par 3 course.
