    How to get out of a golf slump

    My advice would be first to check and then double-check your fundamentals (grip, alignment, posture, ball position, etc.) and make sure they are all correct for a week or two. After that, if you’re confident they’re all good, then go to see a professional with some decent kit (TrackMan, etc.)...

    Abersoch on Sunday 4th June (AM)

    I’m in Abersoch this weekend with the family and am taking the clubs. Anyone fancy a game early on Sunday morning (4th)? The first few tee times at Abersoch GC (before 8am) are available for £30 per round on GolfNow (but I’ll probably phone the club directly to book).

    Best Course You Have Played This Year

    I played Bull Bay on Anglesey in North Wales. A spectacular course. So hard but so rewarding. Highly recommend.

    High (or very high) bounce wedges

    Thanks for the steer. I’ve just spotted these: https://www.clevelandgolf.co.uk/en/smartsole4.html

    High (or very high) bounce wedges

    My course gets pretty wet over winter and in previous seasons I’ve fought a little bit with the chipping yips. I’ve had a look around but can’t seem to find a list of high bounce wedges that may help me in the soggy conditions (along with short game lessons). I’m probably looking for a 56°...

    Bull Bay (Anglesey) early on Thursday

    Didn’t manage to find a playing partner so played solo. The wind was down (less than 5mph for most of the morning) and I still managed to lose 7 balls! One of the best and hardest courses I’ve played. I’ll definitely be returning - a bargain for less than £25!

    Bull Bay (Anglesey) early on Thursday

    I’ve booked a 7:10am tee time at Bull Bay on Thursday (2nd) and would welcome some company, if someone wants to join me. It’s £24 through Golf Now (incl. booking fee), so cheap as chips. I’ve never played there before, and believe there are lots of blind shots, so someone who’s played there...

    Binoculars for watching golf

    I’ve been looking in the charity shops when passing but most of them are ancient and weigh about the same as a small hatchback. ?️‍♂️

    Binoculars for watching golf

    I’m going to The Open in July and one of the other threads suggested taking binoculars to take advantage of the grandstands and other viewing places on the course. I have a very old pair of basic Miranda 8x40 binoculars and a very heavy pair of astronomy binoculars - neither of these seem very...

    I bought today.....

    Picked up my custom fitted TaylorMade P790s (Nipon Modus 105s shafts (+0.25”) and Golf Pride MCC +4 grips) from Nick & Nicola at Tour X today. 4i - GW (8 irons). Had the same grips put on my woods and (Vokey) wedges and the lie altered on my wedges to match the set (slightly flat). Took 10...

    Anyone else waiting for clubs?

    Im picking up my TM P790s tomorrow from Tour X that I ordered at the start of November. Slightly delayed on the 4-8 weeks they said at the time, but they have no control over global shipping (and I added a GW in mid-December too).

    @Diamond - They are good gains. What’s you current driver?

    When do manufacturers release new bags?

    Thanks @Bratty. Do you carry the Big Max Aqua? I was a bit concerned that it may be too big and bulky (but not necessarily heavy) to carry. Is that a problem?
