    When is it too hot to play golf?

    I live in HK and it gets to 35 degrees with 90% humidity in the summer here. I'd take a 40 degree dry heat over it any day of the week (did it in Vegas) buggies are recommended and just drink a lot of fluid as word of warning..... you will sweat

    Justin Thomas shoots 59 in Hawaii

    I don't necessarily agree with that Imurg, as if its a par 72, there will be 4 par 5's a par 70 usually only has 2. so the way pros play par 5's, you can say two less chances of birdie Let me also throw this out there, there has never been a 59 on the European tour

    Why do you love golf?

    All the above points are so valid and true, but lets be honest nothing beats the feeling of absolutely flushing one down the middle off the tee, or an iron stopping next to the pin Golf is a fickle mistress, it knows exactly how to keep you coming back for more, last round i played was playing...

    Breakthrough Pro 2017

    Incredible comment, he managed to retain his tour card after coming through Q School in 2015, i don't think many people realise how tough that is to do. Admittedly now he will get in all events its time to kick on this year

    M2 Driver Sale where to buy?

    I received a call from Scottsdale golf, there had been an administrative error, what was boxed as the 9.5 degree driver I ordered turned out to be 14 degree when they opened the box before they sent it to me. Instead they have offered to send me the new M2 for the same price as soon as it...

    M2 Driver Sale where to buy?

    Apprecaite it thanks Road2Ruin. The price may fall lower in the new year, but it seems the 9.5 degree one is already in low supply at a lot of places, so i thought best to just get now
