    G25 Driver Sound

    My brother has the G25 and i've never noticed it making a strange sound, he does hit it well for a 21 handicapper though! I've just bought an Wilson Staff FG Tour from onlinegolf last week for £69 and first have to say it was the bargain of the century! But it sounds like the old cobra drivers...

    Chipping

    Been really struggling lately getting up and down with hitting chips fat or thin, just wondered if there are any top tips that have helped anyone out there who have suffered the same? Just started trying the Phil Mickelson 'Hinge and Hold' which isn't too bad plus weight 60/40.

    Thoughts on the new...

    I've just come back from Spain and hired some clubs from Clubstohire at Faro Airport, I had a R1 Driver RBZ Stage 2 3&5 Wood and Hybrid and Rocketbladz Irons. I have to say that I thought the R1 driver was shocking! give me my old Mizuno MP600 driver any day! I did quite like the Fairway woods...

    Wilson Staff FG Tour Cosmetic Blemish now in store at AG for £14.99

    Came across these yesterday and bought a dozen of the Tour X's as I have three boxes of the Tour balls. Have to say that for £15 you will not find a better ball, out of the twelve I have tried hard to find the defects and can only find them in four of the balls and all it is is there is a...

    Player Height v Putter Length?

    Thinking of buying a new putter off the shelf, the lengths that they come in are 33.5" & 34.5". Now I am 5'11" and have felt comfortable with a 34" putters I do tend to arch over the ball a bit and am a bit rounded. Is this right? My knuckles are 31.5" from the floor. Wrist to floor 34" In fact...

    How do you drive??

    Technique. You can swing like a lunatic and hit it 230yrds, but a better technique maybe with a better plane, delayed release or correct weight transfer, even with a slower swing speed, could yield another 30-40yrds!

    Would you rather be..............

    A good example of this is on Saturday on a Par 5 I hit my drive 312yrds, a 4iron 201yrds pin high 15ft to the right and three putted! Loved the two shots before it though!!

    Would you rather be..............

    Completely agree, but that's why I put 'Or', choose one.

    Would you rather be..............

    A good driver of the ball or a good putter? I was debating this at the weekend, as I used to be fantastic at putting but lousy at driving the ball, now its the other way round. So would you rather hit 14/14 fairways and go round with 39 putts or 4/14 Fairways and 29 putts? I suppose everyone...

    Recommend me a Foreign Golfing Destination

    I have never played golf abroad and am looking at 3 nights away playing 2 or 3 rounds of golf for as little (and as good) as possible. Another friend of mine has been, and highly recommends, Oceanica in Portgual. What/where else is there guys? Also where is the cheapest place to go for...

    Rumours!

    I remember Tiger's addiction in Vegas was women according to that documentary after his infidelity, they said that he paid one hooker $1m for one night? Oh, well he's just got $1.7m for The Players so .......... Back to Phil, I've always liked his demeanour but a friend of mine said that he met...

    Playing with yourself...

    I actually like playing by myself and have one night per week to do 9 holes. I play with two balls (easy!) the first one is the scoring ball (even if it goes OOB). If no one else is behind I will drop 3 balls and hit from 150, 100 & 50 yrds and also practice out of the bunkers, same applies on...
