Going a little further than Ethan. With Graphite technology being what it is today the shaft makers are able to more finely tune the shaft characteristics than is possible with steel. These days flex is something spoken about only at the level of the marginally trained club fitter. What you are...
I just had my irons reshafted with rifle 6.5 from 2 through PW. It was 30 quid a club including the grip and labour.
It was worth it to me as I love me iron heads and have no intention of changing them. I've had them since new, they are in excellent condition and are probably the nicest looking...
See a pro.
But also look at your left knee. It moves forwards a lot which will impact the swingplane and make it difficult to clear the ball.
That's the first place I would look.
A solid base makes a solid swing.
I tend to play the 36 hole scratch (two years and counting now) with a friend who lives down there. Good courses I think even if they are public... Meyrick park being my preferred course.
I also would like to mention they have a dedicated coffin dodger event each year as well.
Handicap limits apply not only to top level and regional but also club level events. The Romford Scratch for example is Cat 1 only... and they ballot out the 5 handicappers at times due to over subscription. Essex Am is now a 2 handicap limit I believe.
If you want to play a big four day event...
Several things jump out at me.
The language they are using... capitalisation after a comma, the 'precious order' mentioned above, having any question rather than questions... It all sounds like a very poorly written site and whilst there might be one or two items like that on a legitimate site...
Just a note but lots of people toe their putter up which can make the thing look closed... but also you can see others having the face very open just to see the loft on the thing.
Maybe that has something to do with it.
Stick something in the cavity square to the face to check the actual...
Strange that your cameron sits closed... are you sure that you're just not resting it on the heel and that it's rolling over to a closed position?
I have a newport beach which I cut down to 33.5 inches as it was overly long making it seem closed at address.
My course not so much...
But I've played a lot of golf with John Moncur (his brother is one of our pros), have played a fair bit with Poulter in his younger days, Ollie Fisher, Simon Khan and a couple of other Challenge tour level guys as well. I know a raft of the europro guys as well. But...
