    Building a swing analysis tool would love honest feedback from golfers & coaches

    Sometimes use one to check if I'm coming too inside on takeaway, swinging over top or if I'm swaying / bobbing on backswing. Don't think i would take any advice seriously as AI is only as good as how its programmed to look at things and there's a long way to go in my opinion. This may help with...

    Best wet/cold weather gloves

    MacWets are the best I've wore for grip in the wet but you do get cold hands when wet. They do a Climatec one which I haven't tried

    handicap secretary's job

    It really depends how much you are expected to do, are you also responsible for running competitions and checking results and cards, finalising comps, sorting sweeps / prizes. The workload can soon mount up and in my experience its a thankless task but I did enjoy my time (mostly) when I was...

    Playing proper golf whilst trying to change your swing

    My opinion for what its worth is you still have to be playing golf on the course. Its fine doing the practice on the range as long as its meaningful however I've always found the course a totally different matter. How many times have you been to the range and end up thinking I've got this only...

    Compulsory entry into competitions on Saturday morning

    We are the same on the coast NW Cumbria. Generally a comp both days at weekend from April to September, usually one drawn and one Enter on Arrival. If there's ever a day at the weekend that there isn't one on there are questions why and the handicap committee will put a bar comp on. Majority are...

    Home Fitting my own Irons?!

    Spending £100 taking half an inch off your clubs could be much better spent on 2 lessons. Do this first then when you get your HC down a bit then start worrying about the other stuff (if you really have to). You seem like the classic case of an overthinker. Clear your head, setup to the ball and...

    How do I get my confidence back

    Just go out and play golf. You play this game as a hobby and hobbies are meant to be enjoyable aren't they. Even the best go through bad patches, stop putting pressure on yourself and stop putting general play cards in every time you play. Go out and have some fun and the good scores will return

    Roll Ups : Entitled or Appreciative ?

    Our older contingent get their Wednesday morning tees booked for about an hour but nothing else. Any other "groups" have to book their own times for the weekends but it works quite well and there aren't really any arguments about it. This is probably the only thing there aren't any arguments...

    Reduced Membership Deals

    If you take a look at the cars they pull up in and the golf gear they walk around with its blatantly obvious they shouldn't be paying £300 less than a full member

    Reduced Membership Deals

    Last year we had categories from 19 up to 29 with every year having discounted rates, given that a lot of these young ones generally have more spare money than the majority of other members its been decided that we will have a category from 18 to 22 then its full membership. We'll see what the...
