    Fairway mats

    Anyone got an experienced opinion on spurk short vs long pile?

    Golf Random Irritations

    People shouting at each other down the adjacent hole when you’re taking your shot. Or, like today start talking loudly after his mate just played his duffed tee shot, ignoring the fact that I was chipping into the green 20yards away from him in perfect view. He got a long look!

    Shot tracking systems/watches/tags

    Having used used shot scope, arcoss and garmin S70 approach on course my opinion would be… If you just want to get an idea of distances the garmin watch will show you how far you’ve hit your last shot. Generally its functions are outstanding around the course. Especially plays like distances. I...

    After a round do you or can you replay every shot ?

    I definitely can’t. I developed a decent ability to focus on the shot in hand most of the time. It doesn’t help me hit them better but it does help me forget most bad shots. If I see the score and arcoss I can remember enough to adjust correctly but that’s it.

    Balls

    Seed SD-01 is as close to a pro-v1 that I’ve found and they are very well priced. Having used them for well over a year now, there is one thing making me swap back to the pro-v1 next year. consistency around the greens. They just roll out too much and I’m finding I’m wanting more grab on the...

    I’ve dropped 6.2 on my index this year.

    I think all factors can be unique to a person. I have mid/large hand size but I would say stubby fingers so larger grips shouldn’t work I guess on standard modelling but the absolutely do for me as it really softens the hands and subsequently the arms which means I’m relaxed into plane.

    I’ve dropped 6.2 on my index this year.

    It’s interesting we seem to be opposite ends of the spectrum. It reinforces the fact that all these YouTube videos don’t fit all! 100% agree that I need to video myself this winter as when I was too long in the past I was more over the top but I genuinely think I’ll see better rotation this time

    Adidas golf shoes

    Completely agree as everyone’s feet are different. The only shoe that was bad on quality for me are FJs. Used to be my go to shoe but the last few years the soles kept peeling away.

    I’ve dropped 6.2 on my index this year.

    After years of moving in the wrong direction I’ve finally flown down from 18.2 index to 12.0, winning a medal on the way! There’s 3 things I’ve done and I thought I’d share in case it helps others. 1) Practiced my chipping and bunker play a little but not as much as I should. This will be...

    Adidas golf shoes

    Not had them for a while but I’ve always felt that the heels are too hard and I blister like hell in them. Wearing sketchers slip ins at the moment and I don’t see the changing for a long time. They’re awesome!

    Full set for less than £1000?

    No worries. So the companies that spring to mind are Golf Clubs for cash, golf bidder and golf factory. I believe all 3 have testing facilities is you can travel to one. It really would be worth putting a few hours on the road than buying online.

    Full set for less than £1000?

    Depends what you play off but I’d get your clubs from somewhere you can try before you buy. Otherwise you could be blowing a grand on clubs that feel like chair legs. Personally, I’d think you’d be better getting fitted for new Mizuno JPX hotmetals for £900 and get what you can re drive with...

    Baked fairways

    Anyone else not keen on Texas Scrambles ?

    They have their place but they are a lot slower generally and there’s cheats all over them on open days. Not sure if it’s still around but the used to be a company called English master who did them and the winning scores were always stupidly low. We played out of our skins in one and we didn’t...
