    Neck/cervical issues ?

    Hobbit & Fenwayrich……..take care fellas, a lot of care, I feel for you. Personally, I’ve decided that golf just isn’t that important to me versus the possible worsening/aggravating of what I’ve endured so far, which thankfully is improved for now. I’m not going to dwell on having to give up, it...

    Neck/cervical issues ?

    Crikey, glad you have it all sorted and settled now, and haven’t been left with issues. The NeuroSurgeon ive been seeing is very ‘anti-surgery’, which has frustrated me tbh, as I thought a disc removal would be a quick solution, but here I am, 9mths later and I’m pain free and it’s settled down...

    Neck/cervical issues ?

    yup, that’s it, a constant nagging pain that eats away at your soul, it literally put me in very dark places to be honest, seriously dark places, which is perhaps why I’m so unwilling to risk playing again. As ‘Whereditgo’ knows, I had to give up playing Rugby at 19, after completely blowing...

    Neck/cervical issues ?

    Hi Phil, good to hear your still playing, seems our rugby days are catching up with us ! To be honest, I’d started some coaching with Carlo @ Brough early in 22’, in an attempt to finally learning to hit a Driver, and was seeing good results, before another flare up derailed that mission 🤨...

    Neck/cervical issues ?

    Hi all, it’s quite a while since I posted on here, but i’m keen to hear of anyone else‘s experiences….. I’m 61 now, and have played golf regularly for 35years, down to a singles handicap. In 2020, I started experiencing some nagging neck/shoulder pain, which came and went, forcing me to stop...

    Taylormade 300 minidriver.

    Quick update: haven’t got onto the Course this weekend, but couldn’t resist popping over onto the rugby fields behind me this afternoon to give this 300 a swing... Perhaps expectedly, the first few swings I put in it were less than ideal, with poor results. But having told myself to slow down...

    Golf shorts

    Not ‘Golf ‘ shorts as such, but I got 3/4 pairs from a Co called Eubi - find them online. Different leg lengths, stretchy fit, love them !

    Taylormade 300 minidriver.

    ‘I've so given up on drivers though...work of the Devil...”. Amen to that. ”Not convinced, it looked an awful lot like a driver, I.e not very mini... Would need an exceptional lie on the fairway!!” ....but that’s the point ? Larger head than a 3 Wood, and 3 Wood length shaft, and I’ve...

    Taylormade 300 minidriver.

    Just ordered one, here tomorrow, high hopes after watching/reading reviews ! in all my 30 years playing, I’ve just never hit Driver well, no idea why, as my iron game is strong, and that and my short game & putting keep me in Single figs, but when the Driver puts me in trouble off the tee so...

    Low handicaps vs Tour Pro's

    I used to play often with a lad at our Club, who was off +3, and was incredible to watch, although a tad too 'intense' for his own good. He finally turned Pro, and went off to play the EuroPro tour, and quite simply, was so far off 'making it' it was untrue. Most of the issues between his ears...

    A Cunning Plan..........

    Really ? Come on,.......... There really is more risk to society in general when we all 'go out for a walk' in our respective areas. Anyway, clearly we arent gonna agree, so lets leave it there, I'll stick to dodging everyone else as I go for a walk

    A Cunning Plan..........

    Oh for goodness sake guys, get a grip. 1. I'm not going to be shredding any pitches,......in fact, I'll be playing balls from adjacent to one of their storage sheds, its hardly what you'd call Twickenham like turf ! 2. The ground is immediately adjacent to me, I dont have to travel at all. 3. I...

    A Cunning Plan..........

    Ok, so all courses are closed, No Golf for a while, and Practice Grounds around the country closed off too.......well at least mine is. So,......when things do open up again, our Courses should be in pristine shape at least, as we are just entering the prime growing season, and hopefully like my...

    Other than golf what's everyone missing most?

    Thing I'm missing most...... :unsure: A feckin' income !! My industry is Travel, so its vanished overnight, and in all honesty, I doubt it'l return for 3/4 months, IF we're lucky.......
