I was at the london golf show recently and realised that many companies (especially clothing companies) are using outrageously good looking women to promote their gear.. usually in only a bikini and cap... wot do all you guys think about this tactic and the ways in which it can take golf?

Not at all. these players are professionals and the best in the world at their sport. Fair enough for the club golfer anything over 230 years is silly but with the new 'rescue clubs' for the pros its not a problem. Yesterday the pro's were hitting irons and the hole was playing 270 yards, an...

A very interesting fact that I was told by a pro was that only 14% of the round constists of iron play.. Surprising considering most spend half of their time bashing 7 irons up the range...

Like it blindpete. Definitely a good point made there

This week the USGA announced the 8th hole at Oakmont thisyear could play as far as 302 yards at its longest. Is this just a step too far in making the course more of a challenge. I'm all for makin par 5's out of reach in two for them but not being able to hit par 3's in one for the shorter guys...

I've been faced with the problem of a cheat a number of times. Most of the time they are found out in the end and the rest of the club ridicules them, however, this is not always the case. One guy I happened to play with once used to have a few 'problems' adding up. He'd tell anyone who marked...

15th is a great par 5. Don't think enough realise/appreciate the difficulty hitting a high hook fom the tee and then controlling a 3iron that is played with the ball at head height above your feet over a creek and onto a green 11 yrads deep!!..

I've played Royal Cromer myself and it is a very nice golf course.. but another fantastic golf course in that part of the world is Sheringham Golf Club just down the road. The scenery is the same but the course is twice as good. Perhaps my third favourite golf course ever.. behind Royal St...

Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum Newport 2. Had it for years and absolutely love it. Will never ever change it. Remember.. it's the idiot golfer on the end of the putter that misses putts, not the putter itself...

Yes your right, Michelle Wie is neither proving herself as a great golfer or winning over any of us. She can't even beat thee women for goodness sake. What's she doing in the leagues of the PGA Tour? Annaka Sorenstam is one of the greatest and most successful women golfers of all time and even...

I'm a member of two golf courses and have found a significant difference in the colour of the greens. After the month of May bought us substantial rain the greens and one course a bright green and very soft. At the other course the greens are stil significantly hard and patched with brown. Are...

I little while ago my club banned aknkle length sock or sports shoe liners. I'm a fan of them personally and see no reason for them to be disallowed. They look smart to me and are certainly more comfortable to play in. I can't see why golf clubs can't accept that the game is becoming more...

Zach Johnson.. no question about it

I'd like to throw a bit of my own opinion in here. I was always of the opinon that the original Royal Blackheath on the old heath was the worlds first recognised golf course. Although the original course is not on the heath anymore, the club has moved to New Eltham and still remains the worlds'...

Dress code is an important issue I feel, especially with the juniors amoungst our golf clubs' in mind. It's not often I go down to my club and don't see a senior member of the club picking on someone for the way they are dressed (albeit only a loose shirt or untied shoelace). All of these petty...
