    Not sure I can face the all consuming nature of golf again.

    Ive stopped playing with someone partly because of his negative outlook and constant moaning about literally everything. Even in the height of summer when the course it at its best he complains about things. There has been occasions in competitions where I’d had a great card going and feel like...

    Not sure I can face the all consuming nature of golf again.

    I agree 100%. The sooner a golfer accepts whatever outcome comes from every shot the better.

    Not sure I can face the all consuming nature of golf again.

    I came back from a 13 year break and love the game as much if not more now than I did then. This year the only disappointment has been not performing in the various open tournaments I entered but I will be trying again next year. Having got down to a 2 index and feeling like I’m not yet...

    When did you last play?

    But without the £100 million shoehorned into the bank.

    When did you last play?

    November 26th for me. The course has opened for the odd day but I’m not desperate to play in the poor conditions. I’ve took up running and doing parkrun every Saturday 9am. So focusing on training and getting better at running has totally took my mind off “not being able to play golf”. It’s...

    Roll Back Discussion

    And how would clubs enforce any changes for a club comp? I don’t see any checks being done? I mean has anyone outside of pro golf ever had clubs checked for legality.

    New course rating

    The guy who was part of the assessment team said that out of all the courses they have done in most cases the course ratings would change to being lower than they were.

    New course rating

    We had a few stroke indexes changed when our course was assessed. The competition scores over the years show exactly which holes are the easiest or hardest. But then they need to balance the front 9 and the back 9 out so it becomes quite complicated. Players will always disagree on indexes...

    New course rating

    I actually met one of the assessors from Derbyshire County golf who did our course and he said the course rating would change.

    My Swing Speed Journey

    I had a go at this last winter and gained around 10%. I would say that now I swing with the same effort as before but through the process i developed better sequencing. I got frustrated tbh that I couldn’t ”get faster”. I actually tweeked something in my back trying to give it more speed so that...

    Driving range south Leicester?

    Hi can anyone recommend a driving range south Leicester? I,m hoping to give a newbie some tips Friday 4/5 o’clock and that’s our halfway point.

    F1 2023

    Looks like both Ferraris and most the others had a little Monza type rear wing going for pole. Red bull look to have more wing and as always look at race pace and looking after tyres. Be interesting to see how this one pans out..

    Flight bags.

    Having been on many cycling holidays. Never had and damage to my carbon road bikes. A hard case is a must. And I’d do the same for golf clubs. The way those baggage handlers throw things around is scary.

    Steep to shallow swing

    I have a very slightly stronger grip than I used to have. I concentrate on keeping the club head outside of my hands to half way back and then take it up what feels straight up. From there it naturally drops slightly and I’ve never hit the ball so flush, centre strikes. No thought of having to...
