HID does not play so on each day i played with other random tourists on the pascha and the sultan. Beautiful courses and had...

    Putting practice

    Hello Can anyone help me by suggesting putting practice that can be done indoors. My line has been off (i think i am pushing most putts) and my distance has been a bit off. I remember there being some things in the magazine but i have unfortunately thrown old copies out. Thanks in advance.

    Knowing your score can ruin a game.

    I normally have an idea where I am re the score. but after some poor holes on the front 9 and back 7 I had just put it completely out of my mind and thought I was out of the running. I just tried to enjoy the game, the craic with the lads and the weather. Ah well. live and learn.

    Knowing your score can ruin a game.

    Played in our medal today. Not playing well (lip outs, couple of silly holes) but not disasterously bad. Walking to the 17, my mate turns to me and says, "you're in with a shout today, you're nett 56". Stood over the ball to tee off, and I didnt want to hit it, anyway, last two holes - 16...

    Stuck in your ways or following the herd? Balls question.

    I cannot stick Provs. They are too soft for my putting and can easily ruin a game. prefer reasonably hard titleist such as nxt etc. I believe though for the better players where they have more feel etc round greens a softer ball may suit their game. But at the end of the day its personal...

    Quick question for the more experienced of you, what difference will a graphite shaft make compared to steel?

    Scottish Based Irish?

    Based in N Yorkshire. Would be interested but would depend heavily on finances at the time and the cost and dates involved. I suppose a tentative "I am interested" at this stage.

    Can't wait to put into practice

    Read 15th Club just after xmas. Made a massive difference to my game (see earlier post). Changed my attitude and improved my putting no end. All the best - put what you read into practice and I'm sure you will see a difference! Let us know if it works for you too.

    easingwold GC - Yorkshire

    Toonarmy At the moment i am a member of the Forest of Galtres. Not great, no invesment, course closed a lot and no thought goes into helping or running the club for the members and the future. Figure for the £80 or so more would be worthwhile going somewhere else. Where do you play at the moment?
