Looks ok i suppose not as ugly as some. Anyone know why they still put thin grips on all new putters and not give you a choice of a fatter grip. mike

I agree with you a lot of people confuse both, but i can stand in my back garden or around the practice green and chip as well as anyone once i'm playing a comp it's a disaster that has nothing to do with my abaility to hit a chip the top 6 inches takes over and it is a disaster waiting to...

Hi, I'm in the same boat and for me it is 100% mental. i can chip around the chipping green using the 15 different methods i have tried to get over it and using any club from 3 wood to 60 degree wedge. Thought this was a great artical. i have improved a bit this year but i still use putter...

Fitted 3 times. First Time got the 6 iron up to 104 he wanted me to get Project x 7.0 shafts. i Opted for 6.0. Next 2 time i went 97/98 MPH and i stuck with the Project x 6.0's just felt that with the 6.5 i had to hit a full shot or it was like a poker plus i'm getting older. Topped out with the...

No u get to book what tee time you want if it is available. We did it last year and got the day and time we wanted think you have to give a couple of dates. If you check out their web site it has all the info.

There seems to be a big difference between the UK and Ireland. Every club here has a comp every weekend and most have comps on both Saturday and Sunday. My current club also has a open on Tuesday and a club comp on Wednesday so i have 4 comps to play every week. We also use both Stableford and...

25 Comps, 8 Non counting. 13.1's, 1 Buffer and 3 cuts for a total of 1 so up .3 for the year. I have missed the buffer by 1 point/shot 5 times and 3 times by 2 shots. Need to get more buffers to get the handicap going south. Mike

Have one for 2 weeks now and going well with it takes a while to decide where to place the hands but very stable and easy to bring back and thru on the same line. Have heard a few people complaining that distance control has been all over the shop but i have found the opposite. i like the extra...

Bought a second hand Taylormade Daddy Long Legs last week. Have to say the counter balanced putters all felt so stable but the DLL just was so good on off centre hits. The head is almost the same size as my driver but if it saves me a couple of shots a round then all is good.

Failte from StAndrewsBandBs.com was £40 3 mins drive from the course super Breakfast. Mike

If you don't mind me asking how did you pick those courses? Lots of better courses in or around the areas You are playing they are all typical parkland courses. If i was to pick 4 Ardglass, Concra Woods, Roganstown and Castleknock/Portmarnock Links. Dundalk was a bit rough around the edges the...

That's just crazy talk :). If the new stuff does not work who cares it's nice and shiny and that the best reason for buying something. Mike

I think using either odds or evens would be a better way to do it rather than last 9 at least that way it is over the round not the back 9. You will always protect the score a bit on the back 9 if you have a great front 9 and get beat by the guy who has not a lot to play for on the back 9 and...

how about odds and evens that way the score is spread thru the round and could be done random each week. Mike

Correct answer i think. Mike
