Hello all. Just a quick note to say what a great day the GM boys had at Royal Ascot. As Homer said - great company and a very enjoyable course (and curry!). The club looked after us magnificently by the way. Well played you boys - we're happy we're still unbeaten though! John

Glad you liked the calendar MVP! Do you think it was an improvement on the instruction one we did last year? Would you rather see a handy tip each month or an inspirational course shot? Asst ed

Morning all - hope you all had a good golfing weekend. Personally, had a shocker - really seem to struggle in the rain. Just a quick note to say the latest GM Gear Vault video has been posted on the main site, featuring a review of Nike's new SQ Sumo hybrids – the Sumo2 version brings the...

Welcome to the forum Steve_V and to conversations with a number of golf "addicts". Very interesting point you make about golfers and form. Other examples: Sandy Lyle's form suddenly dipped, and, most recently, David Duval has suffered horrendously. I think the mental side of the game has to play...

Not sad at all Golfer2112! You're absolutely right about the putting though. Far too many amateurs spend an hour at the range hitting the living daylights out of the ball when they should be spending more time on their putting. Check out...

Nice one OOB - the first of many!

What about caddying? You can do a course up in Scotland which gives you a qualification known as the St Andrews Standard http://www.caddieconnect.com/ I think it costs about £200 – you could be the next Pete Coleman!

Asst editor here – welcome to the Golf Monthly forum Zachary. As chipin1 says, there are a lot of well-informed golf addicts on this site and I'm sure you'll receive a lot of intelligent feedback! You might want to check out our regular blogs at http://www.golf-monthly.com/blogs/ too!
