Its a good DVD, but not a great one. Production is fine, and Watson is a good, polished presenter to the audience. But it naturally falls into "this is how I do it" with one huge gap, he never explains the aspect of lifting his left heel, which is a pretty important aspect of the swing and his...

Does sound very much like a combination of a leak, plus condensation. Wearing a shirt and jumper inside what is effectively a bin liner, is going to lead in our high humidity, to a lot of sweating and condensation inside the jacket

Ive had dabbles on the majors for 30 years, but only started betting weekly on the tour events the last year or so. Really no idea how much Ive lost or won, had a few big wins years ago in the masters which prob made up for any other losses. Nowadays I do trading betting, make a small profit...

Thats an aid, and not allowed. Its also bloody ridiculous!

I havent kept stats for ages, but when I did the most telling to me was GIR. Of course, based over a number of rounds not one or two. If I hit 12 GIRs I was shooting level or close to it. Trouble with stats is they dont show the whole story. You can have some great stats for a round but that...

Always tended to think that a player who can play to around 18 or less is a golfer, and someone who cant is someone who plays golf.

We've cancelled our Sky Sports partly due to this. We only watched the golf, and the US coverage is just painful, the little golf they do show is holing out short putts. Sky's own coverage is much better but then there are weeks there isnt a Euro Tour event, and some of them are really second...

Two pals went to the Mizzie fitting centre, I think its off M25, Leatherhead?) last week. Both keen to get Mizuno irons. Both very dissapointed with the fitting session. Both said they felt it was no better than going to American Golf. So not all happy campers!

Most important golf muscle is the one between your ears.

Harrington will possibly go down in history as the worst golfer to win 3 Majors, and maybe also one of the most stupid. After years of grind (to his credit) this journeyman hit the big time. Then what does he decide to do? Change his swing. Big time stupid. I'm also informed by people who have...

Use a betting exchange, where you can both bet to win and lay to lose. If you bet on someone and their odds then drop, you can lay them to lose for he same amount (or any amount really) to give a guaranteed profit. For example, had £2 on Howell to win pre-tournie at 260-1, so would win £520 if...

Had a little flutter on him before the event, at 260-1. Now laid most of it off for a guaranteed profit. Nice one Howell!

Interesting scenario. From how you have described it, you didnt hole out with your shot. Someone has picked it up and as a prank put the ball in the hole. A harmless little prank to them but important to you! Doubtless you have every reasonable right to claim a one on the card, but I think you...

They do seem a bit sloppy about this and I am always surprised they arent picked up on it. If you want to repair a previous pitch-mark you confirm with a playing companion before doing so. They seem to just wander around the green gardening with the end of their putters.

He will be getting a fat cheque. But as he is a golf god, seems fair.
