    Opinions on the Tour Burner

    Why do we assume that just because Redwood has a high handicap, his driving is perceived to be poor? For all we know he could be a good driver but a poor putter? I have plenty of friends on high handicaps that are good drivers but some other part of there game is not quite up to scratch...

    Change of swing, change of driver

    All my other clubs are stiff, the rifle shafts just keep my irons from ballooning. Played with these for 3 years and suit just fine. My current ( and previous) driver were all stiff shafts, but the proto VS shaft in my D1 plays too stiff because of the bore through head. If i really go after it...

    Change of swing, change of driver

    Been in the process of rebuilding my swing over the last few months, and i have really noticed my driver results have changed dramatically! The swing is now smoother and wider with less speed and have developed a fade with my current set up. Always used to have a slight draw. So the search for...

    Stupid O'clock - early tee times?

    Redwood - Trethorne is a really nice course. Good test of golf. Was a member there for a couple of years! The tee times at my old course Yelverton were determined by the sun rise. As soon as you could see the flag on the first you could tee off! Have been waiting on the tee at 6 in the...

    How Did THat Happen?

    Am also going through a real slump at the moment after a purple patch. Got down to 5.7 at my previous course but cannot break 80 at my new course. Finding it very difficult to erradicate the blow up holes at the moment. For instance, was 2 under after 3 on the weekend, then hit about 6 bunkers...

    Great buy on Ebay...

    My playing partner has one of these. They are a good idea. He always uses it. Keeps the club face nice and clean instead of fiddling around with a brush!

    4BBB 50pts obscene?

    Dartmouth is such a nice course, some amazing holes along the cliffside and over water. Good scores for such a tough course!

    Tour players 'what's in the bag'

    I just find it interesting that some tour players are sponsored by a big brand, yet still use others clubs. They tend to have their brands headcovers but hiding a little secret..... someone else's clubs!!! Just saw a shot of Padriag Harrington teeing off at the St Judes with which looked to me...

    What score are you capable of?

    Have shot 69 on a par 68 and also 27 on a 9 hole par 3 course. Not getting close on my current course (par 72). There is a sub par round in me somewhere! Need to get rid of that 1 silly hole in a round. I was on course to shoot 65 gross but up popped a triple and single on the last 2 holes...
