    Golf Apps

    Can anyone recommend a good Golf App for calculating Stablford scores? I am looking for an App capable of calculating the scores of 18+ players across 3 separate courses. I'm sure that there must be some technology out there that will save me some admin time during our society weekend away!

    Golf Shoes!

    I have been advised by the Dr, that I need to wear shoes with as much forgiveness in order to preserve my dodgy knees. Does anybody have any advice on which golf shoes provide good 'shock-impact' and 'springiness'? I have a pair of FJ Icons at the moment and while they are comfy, I find that...

    The Open Top Tips

    Justin Leonard for Top American would certainly be worth a punt. Geoff Ogilvy is another who is usually fancied at the Open although I don't think he's played much of late. I thought that McDowell was majestic over the weekend at Loch Lomand and in complete control, however I don't think...

    The Open Top Tips

    Only 4 days to go before the biggest sporting event of the year (in my eyes anyway!) I still can't decide who to back. I was fancying Garcia even before Woods pulled out, but at odds of 10-1 I'm a bit wary. Jimenez and Westwood should also be in the mix, but I'm not convinced they have it in...

    Golfing Stag Weekend

    I am part of a 15 strong group who have been going away on a golfing weekend in Scotland for the past 7 years. This year we're off to East Berwick and will be playing The Glen, Longniddry and Gullane. Based on past experience I can thoroughly recommend Inverness and Nairn where there is decent...

    golf in Fife - questions

    The £62 spent at Kingsbarns was possibly the best money I have spent on a round of golf - and that includes the rain that didn't stop all day. Well worth a visit. Great layout, fantastic condition and stunning views. Also, lots of nice little touches like being greeted at the clubhouse door...

    The truth about custom fitting - and the male ego !

    John, Thanks for the info. I have sent an e-mail off to Titleist requesting some dates of when the Tour Van will be in my neck of the woods. Appreciate the help.

    The truth about custom fitting - and the male ego !

    John, I am also in the same boat in that my current Titleist 983k is soon to be illegal. It is witout doubt the best driver I have ever had and my first instinct is to go for another Titleist. How do I go about finding out where and when the Titleist touring van will be in my area so as to get...

    New Irons + Custom Fitting

    Dave, I'm in the North East of Scotland - Aberdeenshire area. There is a Nevada Bob's in Aberdeen, but I wasn't aware of them doing custom fitting. I was told that Ping had a custom fitting centre at St. Andrews, but I assume that they will only fit for Ping clubs. Any suggestions would be...

    New Irons + Custom Fitting

    A recent article in GM tested the merits of custom fitting for new drivers. With the variations in grip, shaft, flex, etc combined with the player's individual characteristics, it makes sense to ensure that you get fitted for the right club. Especially when it is likely to be the single most...

    Balls..........

    I can definitely relate to the premium balls during the summer, and the first ball that comes to hand during the winter. In my humble opinion, the quality of ball has very little impact during the winter when I am wearing six layers of clothes, hitting off matts, in a howling gale onto a hole in...
