I am interested to know what the BRitish weather does to our enthusiam to throw the clubs inthe boot and hike to the course. I was practicing early this morning with a) a biting wind and b) 2 degree temperatures. After 15 balls I had enough and moved to a proteced green where I worked on 200...

True, but isn't the reason why here are millions of golf books, websites and instruction articles in every single issue of every single monthly golf mag, becasue people want to improve. So if this is the case I suggest its best that you concentrate on areas you are most weak. I agree you...

Yes you can print out scorecards with areas clear so you can tick or cross ball landing areas...

Thats what I use too, did not want to come across as being an advocate for a product as still new to forums...LOL But yeah as its mentioned...its perfect for the job

Hi Guys/Gals, When I first started working with a coach a couple of years back he was a big advocate for getting me to write down stats for the whole round like FW's Hit/Missed was it long, short, left of right. Penalty strokes, Greens Hit/missed left,right, short or long. How many putts, sand...

Hi There, Just thought I would chuck my twopence in. 1. I owned a Skycaddie SG2 and liked it. Downsides were subscriptions, linking up to pc and adding courses. 2. I then bought an iphone app which worked just as well but also recorded scores and stats. Trouble was that this drained the...

Neil was the first to talk me out of this. I was hitting down on the ball so much and when I got ahead of the ball I would sling it off to the right. I plan to post videos on my blog and Youtube channel that show how my swing has evolved. Incidentally you can go to my youtube channel if...

There are many tours around the UK for aspiring tour pros that have not done the PGA training such as Jamega Tour, Midas Tour, Players Tour and 2 more thatare more local to me such as The Lynx Tour and Pro66tour. Dont get me wrong they still attract decent players but there is no Q School for...

Thanks R3, those are nice sentiments part of the campaign will be to regularly update the blog. I shall not be adding lots of worthless posts though and questions, thats what these forums are for and they are great at that. In reply to an earlier comment about this being my first post, I have...

Thanks Tiger good to hear from you on my post. I had a look at your blog and its great. I can echo all your comments and hope you do your very best too. With regards criticism as I have not thrown anything like this out there before I was perhaps being a bit naive as to expect I would get a pat...

1. Neil is great and was my first coach. He got me on the path and helped me when I was establishing the possibility of turning pro one day. 2. I have moved house to alomost a stones throw from Worthing GC and by all accounts it reputed as the best run club in Sussex as well as one of the top...

Wow, thanks for lightening up towards the end....LOL In all seriousness though I hear your comments loud and clear. I am married and have no social life. I have a small paddock area (no horses, please dont think I am a rich farmer)to the rear of my garden with a flag in and last autumn when we...

My bad, I meant 'did not state 1 year'

To Jon, Robobum, JoUK and others. The 'About me' page that johnboy17 kindly pasted is flawed. As per my 1st Blog the plan for scratch is a 2 year one. with the 3rd year being to work towards honing a game needed to compete on a pro level. Local Tours etc. When I first posted on this form I said...

Robobum, I agree completey. Statistics would indicate that even though we want to get better on average we are not. I wasnt just saying that for the sake of stating the obvious. Lets just assume I manage to do this with some structure, routine and dedication that does not take away from my...
