    Blue Badge owners discount

    If your course is closed for buggies its going to be because the ground isn't safe for them to travel on. You pulling out the disability act of 2010 and trying cry discrimination isn't going to get you anywhere. Your not the first person who cant walk a golf course get miffed that they still pay...

    Changing putter grips to Superstroke

    I put a pistol gt 2.0 on my putter and really liked it. The shape and thickness was great for me.

    Are you a slow golfer?

    No not at all. As you've alluded to yourself, everyone is capable of spraying the balls about now and again. There will always be beginner players joining the sport and there will always be a womens section to slow us down to. I know when we are in for a slow day the majority of the time it is...

    Are you a slow golfer?

    The things that i see that make people slow are not being ready to play their shot when its their turn. They will be standing looking around them and then its their turn they will start checking distance and club selection then starting their pre shot routine. Another thing that makes people...

    Swinging the ball both ways...

    You wouldnt be able to spin the ball in a direction then have the ball stop spinning in that direction and start to spin the opposite way. That wouldnt be possible. You could hit the ball one way to the other by hitting it hard enough in one direction then have the spin take over and bring it back.

    How would you spend a £100 golf voucher?

    Probably add 20 quid to it and buy a pair of trousers.

    The Open Accommodation

    That is called supply and demand. There will be so many people who attend the open that wouldn't bat an eyelid at paying those prices.

    Using your shots

    When I tell high handicappers to use their shots. Its not telling them to lay up on par 4s or try to get on in 2 on a par 3. Its to get in the mind frame that 5 on that double shot par 3 is still a good score. Too many times I play with high handicappers who feel they need to get to par every...

    What's your favourite putter and why?

    A Scotty Cameron Futura X5 has been in my bag 5 or 6 years now. Its the longest I have kept the same putter for. The feel, weight and the look is everything I want in a putter. I have tried many a putter since, in golf shops and putters playing partners have bought. There has been nothing that I...

    Ditching the driver

    You shouldnt have to sacrifice anything. This is the weak minded response. There is nothing stopping you hitting long straight drives other than for a lack of trying. If you can hit a straight 3 wood then there is no reason you cant do the same with the driver.

    Really GM? Blaming hoodies?!

    What age is the guy who wrote the article? He seems like one of those guys at the golf club who doesnt want to introduce online booking because balls in the shoot is better.

    Ditching the driver

    If you cant hit a driver its due to a bad swing. Get a lesson.

    Am I on to something?

    I think its only relevant to the one length clubs. As they discovered people sub consciously swung longer irons faster and shorter irons slower so they needed to make adjustments to stop the clubs all going the same distance. I am firmly in the camp that with the correct swing and you'll hit...

    Am I on to something?

    They havent. "Non-Standard Lie Angles - One of the things Cobra discovered while working with Bryson DeChambeau (and we discovered during our testing) is that despite identical lengths and weights, golfers still swing ONE Length long irons faster than ONE Length short irons. You can probably...
