    The Masters 2026

    The best available from supermarkets are the properly imported ones. Pilsner Urquell and the German ones are often where you'll find that. Many of the so called European beers are brewed in Nottingham.

    It all looks good but Foie Gras. Come on man.

    Fairway mats

    I recently got the short Spurk mat. It is so good, that it feels like cheating. In fact, I'm a little bit concerned about going back to real grass.

    New Bargains Thread

    Do many amateurs buy ProV1 for the standard dozen price anymore? They're so expensive these days. I just go with Srixon AD333, which just seems like a really great value ball. I've done that for the last few years now. They tend to do good offers on them and I take advantage, so it usually...

    Ping G440 K Driver

    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...

    Ping G440 K Driver

    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?

    Ping G440 K Driver

    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...

    Professional Golf

    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...

    Professional Golf

    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...

    Professional Golf

    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?

    Sure hope the MET is correct

    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

    Favourite golfing book?

    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...

    Favourite golfing book?

    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.

    Favourite golfing book?

    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...
