Mahan: current WGC Matchplay champ Fowler: superb Ryder Cup comeback in singles last time, first tour win this year. I think they both would have more to offer than Furyk and Sneds.

Harsh on Mahan I think. He peaked too soon I suppose in that his form was around the WGC matchplay. Fowler has been a bit cold of late, but I'd have liked him as a gritty matchplayer, as shown at the last Ryder Cup. Snedeker? His meltdown at the Open didn't convince me he was a big time player...

Replacement colostomy bag?

Is it a still to make your own moonshine?

Backpack?

I hear what you are saying. A few aspects of club membership that I would miss though: - chance to pop to the course on a whim and play a few holes - proper grass practice facilties - sense of being in a club and regular competiton against mates. Obviously these vary from club to club so if...

This sort of on-course chit chat between different groups seems to happen a bit in our scratch matches against other clubs. I don't really care for it. There are a few holes on our course where routes to tees cross over and I'm often struck by how much some players from other clubs like to...

A hair transplant? ;-P

Some factors to consider... As you have just done your GCSEs, have you stopped growing? You might outgrow this set if you suddenly shoot up, so bear that in mind in deciding whether to get an interim set or some to keep for 5-10 years. How do you anticipate your handicap and game developing...

Is it coming from Amsterdam?

I can understand why shops are less keen on back to back comparisons, in case they can't beat the orignal club, but it's the only way they have ANY chance of gettign a sale out of me! I remember the loft thread a while back and that's pretty shocking too. But then a few guys who know about...

Love the way he "cleans" the putter face after the first miss, as if the club was at fault!

One for the shafts nerds I suppose. Forgive the ramble... it boils down to one fairly simple question at the end I think! I was having a mooch round AG in Braintree when I got talking to the guy there who is their resident shaft nerd. I was saying that my Cobra ZL Encore is producing a higher...

Good thread this. Brand and reputation can be very fickle things and it can take the smallest thing to damage or boost a brand and send a firm soaring or crashing. In my mind the "quality" brands in golf: Mizzy, Titleist Mid level: Callaway, Ping That leaves Taylor Made, Nike, Wilson, Cobra...

Not sure who won, but I can confirm that those poker chip "markers" do make excellent dinner plates.... Those things are mahoosive!
