    Going to the BMW PGA Championship next Friday

    Go every year - looking like we might get decent weather this year. Depends what your looking for. Best place to watch swings is on the range. If you want to get really close to pros then late in the day follow some of the not so top draws as there is often not that many people out watching. I...

    Solo Golf

    Prefer to play social golf but enjoy playing solo on the odd evening. First few times it was not very positive. Ended up hitting loads of balls and losing quite a few when I forgot where they had gone. I now play matchplay against myself with 2 balls - IE I get two different makes of balls and...

    Laptop to TV picture help required

    Should do sometimes the usb display connectors can be fiddly to get working. As long as you have windows xp or later and usb2 it will work. The other advantage of using this is it will carry the audio as well so you will not need separate audio cable. As general advice if your trying to...

    Need excuses - Purchasing new irons (hopefully)

    Sell your old clubs for cash Tell HID that you have had your old clubs stolen (optional get a mate to dress up as a copper or even better contact that bloke you knew from school who became a copper via facebook to take 'your statement') Phone a mate but pretend it is the insurance company and...

    Look the part

    You probably wouldn't like playing with me - bought some shoes on sale for winter and to be honest haven't cleaned them since I bought them. Doesn't help that they were once white. Looking forward to getting out tonight after work and wearing my new clean summer shoes.

    Masters Draw

    While I wish we got full coverage as well I actually love watching the amen corner feed before the main feed starts. Feels like your actually at the tournament watching all the players rather than just the big names or the people playing well. As one of the mugs with a 3d tv I miss the 3d...

Once you feel ready to get back out found kinseio tape to be really good for reducing pain during and...

    The Official GM Forum Rule Myths Book

    In matchplay - if an opponent concedes a put you can't then putt it out for instance taping a put in. Correct rule is if your playing team matchplay you can not take a conceded putt before the hole is finished if it is on the same line as your playing partner otherwise your fine 2-4/6...

    Stats - There is only 1 that matters.

    I don't keep stats, cause I'm bloody lazy however I think used correctly they could be useful. I read every shot counts by Mark Broadie and have been convinced that the stokes gained method would be more useful the traditional puts per round GIR & FIR etc etc. No way I can be bothered to record...
