Faldo is absolutely an Alan Partridge/David Brent type character. The recent Faldo story that the BBC's Ian Carter told on The Chipping Forecast was both bizarre and funny.

Does many people buy this stuff? I've seen the odd bit of Malbon clothing down at the golf club, but very little. I can't help but like the ridiculous bird jacket thing Day is wearing. Would I wear it? Nope. And I think if anyone down the club wore it, they would get get torn to shreds. But in...

I just watched the 1982 Masters film, where Craig Stadler did all he could to lose the tournament on the back 9. On the par 3 16th, he hit it over the green into a bunker. The flag wasn't too far from the bunker, but with the downhill slope immediately after the hole, it was a near impossible...

In terms of the shot alone and nothing else, then Mickelson's was incredible. But... the fact that he didn't make the putt for eagle kind of dampens it a bit imo.

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.

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.

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...

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...
