Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you really play off 20, this doesn't sound very likely :-) I play off 8.9 and this describes my golf most rounds (except that I 3 putt more often than I'd like). If you're serious about improving (and it seems like a great time of life to be coming...

Shifts get a bit grim as you get older. I moved onto a job share (week on/off) at 55. I would probably have retired early if it had been denied. Once there's a week off at the end of every week it becomes a lot easier to manage physically - can just work and sleep during an "on" week without...

This seems a bit sad really. But not surprising. I guess it's not really the pro's fault, they are consenting adults after all. Maybe should be added to the "is fitting really worth it" thread. On a more general note, a couple of the pods/vids I've encountered have referenced last year's TM...

re. the "what's it for?" question. My own pet theory is that people with money have seen how much the franchises for the major US sports are worth and want some of the action. Because of the cartel structure of these leagues, it's not possible to do a Wrexham, and they are showing no signs of...

Haha. Sometimes when I wander over to this thread I think I've gone through the looking glass. He's currently somewhere north of 500 in the rankings and completely irrelevant as a competitive professional golfer. Obviously has a decent profile as a content creator, but that's it. And then I...

I'm impressed at your gapping. Nice regular intervals. As for the driver.... it just doesn't have enough spin at that swing speed. Somewhere on the Internet there's tables of speed vs spin, and from memory you should have at least 2500 for your speed. I'd look at changing that ( loft/weight...

I was rather sad to see Sam go. Although he seemed a bit of a dick early on, he kind of mellowed on me. Still, at least it made for a relaxed and amusing Uncloaked. The previous 2 with the lunatic harridans were pretty tough going. I'm curious about the next step. I think I'd kill Jessie and...

Oof. Just seen the highlights. Even a couple of comments here didn't prepare me for Tommy's fit :eek: He still has Nike shoes on. I think. Could barely see them under the baggies...

Just read the stats. They're widely available on-line. Less people are killed and seriously injured at 20mph than 30. Personally, I think it's a fair compromise.

Man who analyses numbers in golf for a profession agrees with Orikuro shocker. ... https://golf.com/instruction/putting/common-putting-strategy-worst-advice-play-smart/

Agree about 1. being untrue. Greg Chalmers (best putter on pga tour for years) is always yapping on about this on Crossfield's pod. Says that once he's not likely to hole a putt, he's just trying to get it close. If you try and get past the hole every time, there are going to be times when...

Think how much they'd have won with decent sticks...:eek: Chalmers suggested that rather than rolling back the ball to combat distance in the pro game, they should just all have to use Nike drivers :) In all seriousness, clubs can obviously have characteristics which suit some players but not...

I think that there's still some duff kit knocking about, even at the pro level. Greg Chalmers (aussie, decent player) tells an amusing (in hindsight) story about how truly terrible the Nike club deal he signed was. I think the driver was particularly terrible. PXG drivers got a terrible knock...

I'd just get rid of her, pronto. Even if they recruited her, they'd probably end up getting beaten by her. Keep the stupid ones alive and get rid of the smart ones seems to be a winning tactic to me.

Haha AFTV are the least of Arsenal's unlikeable problems. Surely most people only watch it when they lose, in which case it's 5 minutes well spent. It starts and ends with Arteta for me. Maybe he's a lovely chap in real life, but comes across as a compete dick on the touchline and inbues his...
