Sarcasm, a game enjoyed by golfers who think they have an idea !!!!

One of the first pieces of advice I was given as a teenager when I started playing was basically a 7i goes 150 yards, 6i 160 yards ,8i 140, still to this day I follow this general distance guide so not matter what make,what loft, what angle what new fancy bats you have ,10 yards out is not the...

Thought you would like to know how I got on today with my 1st ever custom fit as I posted the original question. i loved every minute of it, as much as I was asking the fitter questions about all sorts he just concentrated on the fundamentals of the stats,launch,angle,speed,dispersion etc, it...

Apologies everybody, been a while since I've logged in and posted but read most days.I'm going for my 1st ever custom fit next week and feeling slightly apprehensive that it will turn in to a lesson in that I'm going to be pigeon holed into something I'm not.I want to be convinced that I will be...

A couple of weeks ago, a wife/coach was giving out tips to her husband/beginner in the next bay and really getting on my nerves because of her loud voice when she announced ''John now take a bite of your bacon sandwich and drink your coffee before it gets cold'' I had to stop wetting myself.

Still being a relative newbie can some of you,shall i say more experienced of the golfing fraternity explain to me the 'stigma' of castle tees. I dont understand why there is a need to dismiss something that helps us practically 18 shots every time we play. Because if there is one thing that i...

I only purchased a gap wedge 3/4 months ago and is the most consistent club i have in that anything from 50 yards to 90 yards i nearly always hit the green with it where my SW (upto 50 yards) and PW (100-110 yards) a bit inconsistent.I believe everyman for himself, it does not matter how old the...

What is everybody's feelings on wearing a cap, personally i have tried especially with the blazing sun we have witnessed these last few weeks.The problem i have is that at the point of leaving my address to start the backswing my head just ever so slightly moves and hey presto my line of sight...

Back in March at the start of the new season i managed to pick up from Sports Direct a pair of Adipure's on offer, the thing is i am fed up with having to tie the laces on practically every 2nd / 3rd tee,its driving me nuts, i said to a pp who has got a pair of Adidas Tours if he has the same...

Apologies for being off tangent on this, but the other week drove 200 yards barely a few yards onto the next fairway as both holes ran parallel, the group on that hole landed in exactly the same area. I am adament they picked my ball up/stole it-my pp said drop another without penalty as we...

Daveyboy , I posted the original thread and and clearly understand where your coming from in thinking i am scooping the ball, the post was intended to state that knowing the various quality's of surface i have come across it has started to play on my mind that i am thinning too many shots in...

I apologise in advance that i have already posted this in the Market Research thread but i felt it warranted a little thread on its own. If there is one thing that irritates me when i visit a driving range its the quality of the mats. As a travelling salesman up and down the UK i will put 3/4...

Completed the survey but there is one thing that really irritates when i visit a range.As a travelling salesman up and down the UK i will put 3/4 clubs in the boot and often pop to the the nearest range whilst stopping at a hotel. The object of my rant is the varying degrees of quality of mat...

Should have gone to specsavers

I am on the lookout for a gap/approach/lob wedge , Im playing the Callaways diablo edge set as i am a 'low 20's-mid 20's' hcp at the moment and have been trawling Ebay / Gumtree etc to find one but to no avail , my next port of call is to actually go with something more up to date.The problem i...
