Lamkin Crossline Standard. Vardon grip.

Thanks that is a useful table.

Thanks. That may be something to think about. I am playing tomorrow so I will make a mental note of how often I could use a 3 hybrid to better effect than the 2 hybrid I currently have and also how often I use my lob wedge.

There have been a few discussions regarding distance gaps and how many wedges people carry. I currently have 4 wedges in my bag and am considering taking the 60* lob wedge out in favour of another hybrid. The reason is I have a Driver, 3 Wood, 2 Hybrid 18* and then I jump to a 4 iron. The...

My first score was 113. I was playing my Dad, it was his first game too and I was nervous and my Dad beat me which I was gutted about! The next week I went out on my own and got 93. That was last September and lately I have been scoring in the low to mid 80's so I am sure your scores will...

This year I have been averaging 31.3 putts per round. I still 3 putt once or twice but luckily get a few 1 putts so overall very happy.

I am fairly new to the game and it was suggested to me that having 4 wedges was a good plan. I am beginning to wonder. I rarely use the lob wedge and have noticed that since I have been getting more distance with my driver during the dry weather my 2nd shot into the green is often between...

Depends if you are a lefty like me ;)

Stuff everything in front left pocket. Pitch mark repairer, Ball Marker, Scorecard, Pencil & Yardage chart.

Thanks for some very good advice everyone. I definately need to take 1 hole at a time and not worry about it if it goes wrong. I definately shouldn't give up scoring after a bad hole otherwise I probably won't learn from my mistakes. I have been reading some books on the mental side of the...

Tell me about it. It's amazing how it's never these people's fault either. I was driving along a single carriageway A road at the weekend doing about 55mph when a car coming the other way started an attempted overtake right in front of me. I flashed him because I wasn't sure if he had seen...

I need some help regarding bad starts to a round. The other day I started off with a par on the 1st before going into immediate meltdown! I then followed this up with an 8 another 8 and then two 6's. Once I know I am not going to get near my best scores I stop scoring & end up feeling like I...

I would say my ball flights are reasonably high (except when I thin my wedge shots ) I only hit my driver about 230 yards although perhaps not ever so consistent with it. The 7 iron goes about 135-140 yards. I tend to have a slight draw using my Driver & 3 Wood. The irons tend to be...

Thanks for the advice. I think this is a good idea for me to sort out a decent package that covers quit a lot of different aspects of the game.

I am fairly new to golf having only taken up the game last September. I have done ok since my first game scoring 113 and have started hitting the low to mid 80's fairly consistently for the last couple of months. So far I haven't had any lessons & I am at the stage where I think I need some...
