I'm not talking about following sheep, but just making the point that if it is working for a lot of people, it may well work for you. I also wouldn't be interested in the carbon drivers, as there are a lot of bad stories out there. But that hasn't got anything to do with looks and is about...

Really? I mean what if a miracle driver was released at a good price, and suddenly everyone was using it, but it happened to look awful? You wouldn't even consider it?

I'm always really surprised by how much weight people put on the look of a golf club. If it is the best performing club that is available to you, then who cares how it looks? If you gave me a driver that goes straight and long, you could put that photo on the crown of Prince Andrew in the back...

Isn't that the point? He is either playing badly or he hasn't yet 'found the fit'. That clesrly wasn't an issue with Mizuno. This is not to slag off PXG at all, and as pointed out in a different post, it is too early to judge him. But I still can't understand the ethos of changing things when...

You might be right, but he did change equipment and we'll now never know if he would have fared any better if he had stayed with Mizuno. My point is that if you have a winning formula, why change it? Other than the cash, it makes little sense to me. Rose did the same when he changed to that...

Not the best start to life in the US for Penge but I really don't understand why he changed his clubs. I know that PXG will be compensating him well, but wouldn't it have made more sense just to leave a winning formula alone?

We're much the same down here. Unfortunately, it does make me question whether my fairly pricey membership is worth the money. The club aren't to blame, but I really mean it from a practicality point of view. Right now I'm paying approximately £150 a month for nothing. Come the Summer I'm sure...

In the South East, the weather looks like more rain for the next week o_O

Yep, a long time ago as pointed out. But in terms of repaying his debt; all of that is great but it will never bring back the man who died due to his thoughtlessness/selfishness/arrogance, etc. It is a tough one to get my head around. In terms of golf clubs and drink driving - I think it is...

One of the few books I've ever read where I didn't particularly like the guy, and ended up thinking worse of him by the end. I thought he came across as a right banker.

I have read both of them. The Mickelson book was interesting but also a bit of a hit job. Clarke's book was OK but the stuff about his wife's death was just harrowing. I remember one bit in particular when they were trying to find a cure for the cancer, so they flew from the UK to a specialist...

A good book with a bit of a shocking ending. I don't know how I feel about him in the end. We all make mistakes in life, but... Golf clubs and golfers all need to look at how drink driving is pretty much an accepted culture.

The Secret of Golf: The Story of Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus by Joe Posnanski It is just a briefish telling of stories about Watson and Nicklaus, and how their careers often entwined. I wasn't expecting too much from this book, but it was a really enjoyable read.

If your life really is like this, I would try to find a way to fix it. Life is way too short to feel like this - I hope things get better for you (y)

I like a walk, but I wouldn't say I love it. Whereas, when I'm not playing horrendously, I love to play golf. So I would say you give your body some exercise, without it feeling like a chore.
