    New Bargains Thread

    They have the Wilson Staff model (and X) for the same price! Madness. Still, if I were in the UK, I'd give those Mizuno RB Tour's a go.

    Clubhouse Golf has a deal on Mizuno RB Tour balls, which are quality balls.

    First comp

    Reviving this old thread.. because I just went and played my first comp in 30 years! So, it was only an evening par 3 9 hole comp, but it had my pulse racing (a bit). I really enjoyed the focus of competition and I will playing as many comps as possible this year. I didn't win anything. Short...

    Old Man Yardages

    Ha! I said that ball 3 was a Callaway 😅 And here is Mygilfspy's take on this: https://mygolfspy.com/news-opinion/3-mistakes-slow-swing-speed-golfers-make-when-choosing-a-golf-ball/

    Ball 3 is a Titleist Velocity, or Callaway Warbird+ ? Either way (or whatever ball it was), that's your gamer. That's such a distance difference that you can disregard other metrics

    Jaguar released some beautiful Persimmon clubs years and years ago.

    Another example of what happens when wealth inequality spirals out of control, the rich are running out of things to spend money on... Just like that new golf ball that requires membership of an elite group of wealthy @@#holes, ironically called 'The Underground'

    153 mph ball speed is around 106 mph swing (aka club head) speed for an average smash factor.

    I've tried to watch swing tip videos where the chap talks and talks and waggles and waggles and never even hits the shot at all!! Horrible

    The South Bucks.. Farnham Park.. I'm confused

    Well, historically it started life as a 9-holer, the ladies course for Stoke Poges golf club. I played there in the mid 90's once, and it was a lovely parkland course. What if they restored the original 9 holes and embraced that status? But football is a bit silly, imagine Wycombe Wanderers...

    Old Man Yardages

    So, I had another indoor session, focussed on a more ryhtmic swing and trying to hit up on the ball more: with great succes: averaging 210 yards, with 185 yard carry. Happy days. Still old man yardages, but very playable. I have to point out that I used a swing tip from the people at "Easiest...

    Ping G440 K Driver

    Oops: there are two things you can do: get an extremely draw biased driver and hope that works - however, this is a bit of a patch: it wil engrain your swing fault by masking it. OR, better: get three lessons on driver only from a pro, and also ask them what club would suit you. So, fitting and...

    Driver shaft trimming

    The original Honma grip was around 43 grams and the Winntac Dritac lite midsize is around 23 grams. Not usually a Winntac fan, but this is nice.

    Driver shaft trimming

    Just trimmed down from 45.25 to 44.5 inch. Put on a lighter grip, (20 grams lighter), to compensate for swingweight. Feels fine
