    AP 2 Irons?

    i've had mine for about 4 months now and really love them. very good feedback, and a really nice flight that seems to go on for ages, especially with the long irons. still got some degree of forgiveness, i find that bad shots feel worse than they end up, so you know where to make ammends without...

    Golfing terms explained!!

    nice to see that people can say things like this and not got shot down in flames, as it's all meant in the right way. loved them all, will have to remember some of them and try and drop them into conversation on my next round. i expect to get crazed looks in return when i comment that i've...

    Broke 90 for the first time

    well done mate. i know a lot of people on here bang on about breaking 80, but everyone has, or at least should have, different targets, and to break 90 is a great one to acheive. im sure it took me more than a year to do so, and even now, i still let the odd one (or more) slip over 90. don't...

    Glasses and Golf

    not quite on topic, but if i wear sunglasses, i shank the ball. simple as that. last time i tried to wear them, i shanked my first 4 shots, then took them off and stuck my recovery wedge to 3 feet from about 75 yeards out (shanking doesnt advance very far on a par 4) and made a double...

    Coming together nicely

    congrats on the 80. thats one of my aims this year, to hit 80. i have shot 82's before, and i know that i can play a lot better as that included a lot of silly errors. shot an 85 on xmas eve with 2 lost balls and without really holing any putts, so i know its in there. have just got to...

    New Clubs

    go in with an open mind, and no pre-conceived idea of what you are going to walk back out with. something that may not have entered your mind might feel perfect when you actually hit it, so dont get stuck on something just 'cos it's what you thought you would get on with. other than that, enjoy...

    ***WARNING TO INTERNET PURCHASERS***

    i tried to buy a titleist bag from them before xmas, and after about 3 days happened to look at their website and notice that it had been updated to show that they now didnt have any in stock. i used the contact number given on the site, and was told the guys mobile number. managed to contact...

    Driving Iron

    Lob Or Chip n Run ????????????

    i think it is likely it is down to me playing that type of shot more often, therefore developing more of a feel for it. that undefinable variable, feel. i agree about the practice, it is always something that i 'mean' to do.... will also try a 60* one day when i can afford to buy one if i...

    Lob Or Chip n Run ????????????

    i've decided that i must be a bit odd, as i very rarely chip and run, as i almost always find the ball comes off the face far too fast and shoots past the hole, whereas with a higher, floaty shot, i can normally get the ball pretty close. i'm not sure if that is just due to playing that shot...

    AP2's

    i have got a set, and am very happy with them. havent managed to play that often yet due to the bad weather of late, but am very satisfied with the one good round i did get with them. hopefully it will begin to pick up weather wsie and i can get out a bit more.

    So what's Golf-Santa bringing everyone..?

    well, i treated myself to a set of AP2's that arrived last weekend :D HID has supplied me with a Ogio Grom bag to keep the new sticks in, but I think that is all the golf related stuff i am likely to acquire. sounds like between us lot tho, we are keeping the golf industry from feeling the...

    Shoe cleaning

    with regards to the stuck cleats/spikes, on every pair i have owned straight from new i always remove the cleats, lubricate the thread with Copper Slip and then refit them. this prevents the build up of any ocrrosion, and I have never had any problems removing them. i also tend to remove them...

    Going rusty!!!!

    When I played my first round for about a year a couple of months ago I expected to by all over the show. I had had a couple of range sessions and my striking had been pretty good, but the day I went out it was also blowing a gale. Still managed to shoot 2 under my HC so was very happy with that...

    Is this rare?

    This also used to be one of my targets when I was playing regularly. I would want to par 3 or the 6 par 3's at my course on every round. I knew though, that if I was to card a good score, I would need to be looking to par at least 4. There was one round where I did get all 6 down in par. It...
