    Are you bothered about golf in the Olympics?

    I think it’s good that it’s being included but I am not sure it will make a difference to the overall growth of the game. There are so many other sports being shown its tough for golf to compete/grab attention. Doesn’t help when Rory dismisses the Olympics and golf.

    As if this game wasn’t hard enough!!

    Well every game counts towards the order of merit total and top 4 go through. I have a nice points buffer but it’s more about me not putting pressure on my game. My handicap is 16.5 so I try and play bogey golf and if I par or even nab a birdie that’s great. It’s trying to keep around the 34+...

    Great comments thanks. Biggest issue is if I don’t play well I could be overtaken. That’s the thoughts I need to get rid of. Will try to play my own game. ?

    Beginner, where to start?

    Rick Shiels has done a few films on starter golf sets. Worth watching. Golf bidder perhaps? Don’t buy from Wish though!!! Once you’ve got your clubs - book lessons with a pga pro!!!

    As if this game wasn’t hard enough!!

    I currently sit on top of my monthly order of merit. Top Four go to Woburn final with 5 games to go. How on earth do I focus on just playing my game and not worrying about my 5 closest rivals??? I’m putting a load of unnecessary pressure on an already fragile swing! Got to get over this if want...

    I think if I read the article correctly they said they’d invest in the ladies game?

    Premier Golf League

    Players say they want to win majors over anything else. Can you imagine the R&A or Augusta not changing the qualification processes??? The European Tour is basically funded by the home Ryder Cup. No top players risks no sponsors, TV or streaming deals. European Tour Rolex events have such strict...

    Walking off the course - right or wrong?

    I like to get to a course early and feel relaxed have putt chip and go onto the range. Arriving after a stressful journey yesterday was the start of a bad day! Pryford didn’t blow me away either as a course so I don’t think I missed out there either!

    Walking off the course - right or wrong?

    Played today in my monthly tour event. Terrible traffic meaning arrived at course with 35 minutes to go no real time to practise. Hate that. Chucking it down and was soaked by 2nd. Bagged soaked by 4th so clubs wet. Played like a complete muppet. Got miserable. Decided to quit after 7 holes and...

    Maybe I've bought a new club !

    Agreed. We tried different shaft options but just couldn’t see a reason to change. I’ve a hairline crack in the face which was sort of pushing the decision but club seems to be working fine. Hope yours works well on course!
