    i have an old cleveland 588, great for shotmaking, wouldn't reccomend hitting a full shot with it though, that goes for any 60deg wedge.

    US Masters Tips

    If it was me i wouldn't bet anything on romero, sorry, from what i have heard, he is a very low ball striker,and low ball stikers usually struggle at augusta because they cannot hold the ball on the greens as well as the higher hitters. this may be the reason for those high odds. Westwood has a...

    My Latest Swing

    Beware of the Explanar! my club has one, my teaching pro said to me, (and i could back this up with video footage of pro's swings) that the backswing should go on a relatively steep route back, before "re routing" and coming in on a shallow, more inside angle of attack. This means the explanar...

    Rescue clubs/Recovery woods/Hybrids

    Picture this, you have 190 odd yards to a green, with water in front of it and o.b behind you've found a soggy lie on the fairway. what would you rather be pulling out of your bag... no doubt 3 irons have many useful attributes, personally i carry 3 wood, 2 hybrid, 3 iron... i usually just use...

    What the hell is a "sand trap"?

    Speaking of albatrosses, i was shocked when my teaching pro told me he had had 3 of them! i mean a hole in one is considered to be a once in a life time thing, never mind an albatross,he has also had 5 holes in 1 lucky b*****d
