    Running a book

    Think it’s illegal to run a book in the UK unless you’re a registered bookmaker.... so in answer to your question, no we don’t run an illegal book at our club, and we haven’t made an app to make it easier for someone to report our illegal activity.

    Fair price for a round of golf?

    The beginners obsession with the driver?

    Maybe it just me, but I can’t help but notice the beginners obsession with the driver. Be it at the driving range and you see someone with all new clubs/package set, the driver comes out first or if you look on any of the big Facebook groups for buy/sell/swap it’s always full of “I’ve just...

    Budget Golf Trolley - £100 or less?

    Hey, So far I’ve been carrying my clubs around the course, I never really minded as it’s what I’ve always done since taking up the sport. Yesterday I played a round with a friend and he had a second trolley in the boot (his wife’s) which he asked if I’d like to use. I thought why not... and it...

    Beginner Package Sets - UK

    I started out with a Slazenger package set (Slazenger v300 Set - £169) I’ve used them for around 8 months or so and just upgraded to something else recently. A lot of people might say don’t get a package set, but I think it’s a great way to get into the game, it gets you out swinging and gives...

    Best / Worst / Most iconic drivers of all time

    A controversial response... Best / Worst / Most Iconic;- Nike SQ Sumo Why does it take all three you ask, simple really, it’s the most recognisable driver of a generation, you mention “Nike Golf” and it’s usually followed by “Do you remember that square driver they made?”. It was the best and...

    Golf Hats?

    Hoping someone might be able to point me in the direction of a couple of decent golf caps that are accommodating for smaller heads, everything I’ve tried in AG or local pro shops are HUGE (like 10 y/o has stole it from his dads wardrobe huge).

    Deciding on clubs

    Second the Decathlon balls, been great for me while learning the game this year. I’m now looking at changing to something that’s slightly more premium (£20-25 a dozen). For tees go with the castle/graduate type as it will give consistency when teeing up the ball (wooden tees will mean the...

    Club Help and Advice Please

    I started playing golf at the start of this year, I initially bought a budget Sports Direct package set (I can hear you all cringing at the thought of that). I’ve now reached a point where I’m happy to say that this is going to be a more long term thing so would like to spend some money on a...
