    Advice needed on taking clubs on a plane

    I tend to wrap a towel around my clubs and then the bag head cover. Not guaranteed to keep them safe but seems to have worked for me

    Golf Clubs for Juniors in Essex?

    West Essex is another option with a really good junior section, although may be a little too far to travel from Brentwood. Also West Essex have just got planning permission for academy including a short game area and a 9 hole course. Not too sure when building this will begin though.

    What is the oldest club in your bag

    I have a Ping Pal putter from about 1990 that will probably never be replaced. I'm looking to update my R9 driver and V-steel 3w this year (if I can find better!) after buying new irons and wedges in the last 6 months

    Callaway Apex Forged irons

    I think that you could get any shaft for no extra charge, the XP were the stock in the standard ones though, I got the PX6.0

    Callaway Apex Forged irons

    I brought a set of these (non-pro) about 6 months ago. Ridicolously easy to hit the long irons, long high and straight. I wanted the pro version but put my ego aside and cannot be happier (and poorer!) I must have tried 5 or 6 sets of irons but these were best for me by far

    Algarve golf suggestions?

    Quinta - All three courses are good, but my preferred is the south course. Vale de Lobo - Royal is ok Old Course is one of my favourites I've always booked with an online company, not too sure on availability when you're out there but you may be lucky if it's just a couple of you and they may...

    easy to hit 3 wood

    Taylormad V-Steel - Very easy to hit off the tee and even easier to hit off the dck. You can probably pick one up for peanuts now, but i've not found any other club that can knock it out of my bag

    Waiting for a new shiney to arrive

    Ordered a new set of irons 3 weeks ago - got a minimum of 3 more weeks to wait - trying to forget about them but it's very difficult!

    Irons Brand Rating

    As said above try as many as you can. I tried Ping, Titleist, Mizuno, Taylormade & Callaway - Went in there wanting the Titliest or Taylormades and came out with the Callaway and the Pings were a very close second. If you can get a fitting with trackman or similar that should really help narrow...

    Trackman & Lessons

    I had an iron fitting one trackman the other week, that then turned into a lesson, due to some of the numbers that trackman was giving me for club path and face angle. The pro said that he didn't know how it taught without it! Great bit of kit though
