    Golf Random Irritations

    When it rains every single time you are about to go out. I know it’s likelier to happen with the amount of rain we’ve experienced but now that there are longer drier spells it really does seem that it’s plotting against me!

    Does Golf Need a New Dominant Figure?

    So much to answer! Will Scottie be the dominant figure? It depends on how his priorities change as a father. Will he create a tiger dynamic? Hell no! He’s not a great personality and his golf is very sterile with little risk. I say this with full admiration of the sheer dedication he puts into...

    Utility 4 iron

    I have the U505 and it’s more forgiving than my JPX 4 iron but I don’t get more distance than I expect of my JPX. In the winter it gets swapped out with a hybrid but might keep the hybrid in this year.

    Faulty M4 irons from American Golf

    It appears to be a common fault with TM irons, certainly older ones. My mate has had similar issues and discovered others had too. As disappointing as it is, most manufacturers, if not all, would seek to repair before replacing and in lots of industries they would replace with a refurbed product.

    Sun Day Red

    That’s what I was thinking. It was still breezy there and for it to hold that much sweat is concerning.

    Do handicaps take account of age?

    Sky once did a piece celebrating a player turning 100 who still played off 17. Now I can’t vouch for the course he played but I used to play often with a guy who was mid 80s and off 9.

    Do handicaps take account of age?

    Nope. It’s based on ability to get around a course in a number of strokes. This is why we also shouldn’t have gender based tees.

    Shot Scope V5

    the X5 is excellent now and given its mainly a step down in hardware such as no touch screen, I’d expect the V5 to be good from the off. The X5 issues you’ll have read were solved pretty quickly. It was almost to quick out on the market and given v3 users were paying £180 for the x5 it suggest...

    Golf Course Closed again

    Could be the build up of the water table not allowing it to dry out. Could be that wear and tear in the winter is not going to be recoverable if you play now. Trust in you green keepers 😉

    Golf Course Closed again

    Their costs are still the same so if you pay £1k now, you’ll just end up paying £1k for a 9 month membership

    Mini driver revival ?

    The question running around my mind is, have they launched this because the carbon faces on the driver keep popping out when people hit them off the deck?!

    Orange Ball Anyone?

    My mate had a probe and the owners club he was a member of went along to York drag way. I always remember spitting my drink out when he pulled away from the line and the kid behind me said “my mam’s little river is faster than them!” 😂
