e very Hogan I've hit has felt lovely, then they go bust, disappear for a few years and then come back. I still rue picking Ping 13s when I was 16 (which were lovely clubs) instead of the Hogans that felt beautiful off the face. But 16 year old me wanted the brand name

buying from fitters absolutely, but I keep seing ads on facebook to get them straight from them and the have some very cheap deals

not a full set, but I may go for smithworks for some new wedges, reviews are very good

they do look great, and am tempted. But put off by not being able to test them before or get properly fitted

it is very difficult, as it is in any sport or walk of life if you are going to accuse someone of cheating of breaking the rules. If you are going to make a formal complaint, then there has to be som evidence beyond my word against yours. If someone is a known cheat, then either video...

Isn't that just a variation of the 2-ball

Not done it with golf, but have done Rugby disciplinaries, both club committees and county. I know it is different, but two players accusing another player of foul play wouldn't be anywhere enough. Would either need video or photographic evidence or for a referee or match official to make an...

a bit outside of leicestersire, but I really enjoyed playing Lemington Spa

played a stableford at an old course, they were giving gimmes. I pointed out you can't have gimmes in a strokeplay, they had no idea, also saying that stableford isn't strokeplay only a medal is. These guys had been playing for years

amazing course, hope you have good weather, when the wind is blowing it's a bit tricky, You'll have a great time though I'm sure

oh the Nicklaus course is an absolute beast, don't blame you on that one.

USed to live in Hounslow, never heard of West Drayton GC only one in the area I can think of is Stockley Park

The PM can quite easily influence. People on the board of the R&A or whomever picks the venues can be tempted with other jobs, or have certain licences put up for "review" etc Should the PM be involved, absolutely not. While sport can be used politically, thinking of the boycott of apartheid...

going for the green or laying up is not a decisoon that should be made for Par 3s. GIR for Par 3 is 1 if you have to risk it in order to hit GIR on a par 3 that is a poor design. That's a great design for a short par 4, can hit it one, but risk if you get it wrong or lay up, but not a par 3

but 212 yards up hill is going to be closer to 230 to hit. Very vey few handicap golfers can hit an iron 230 carry, and the ball won't roll on very easily, so taking woods, which won't stop on the green. So it is a par 3 that is nigh on impossible to hit the green in regulation, what's the...
