    this may seem like a daft question (grass related)

    As the title suggest, this may seem like a daft question, but is the grass on the green a different type than the grass on or the fairway, or is it the same type of grass that is just cut differently and with a different base etc??

    Think I will. No doubt a pro would be able to see the problem and hopefully suggest the best way to fix it fairly quickly

Basically I seem to be hitting the ball with my irons with a very closed face, which leads to the ball going to my left. Is my grip too strong? Or too weak? Or is it my clubs - they are a beginners set with an...

    i normally just wear M&S chinos -about £15 a pair or £10 from their outlet stores. I did get two pairs of cotton traders chinos recently for £30 - they have soem kind of coating on that doesnt make them waterproof as such but they are water repellant and do seem to keep the inside dry in a...

    Slow Play!!

    The course is municipal but they do have a club attached and a vets society. Normally people from both are quite happy to let the single player through. the only time anyone has been stuffy was a fourball ladies group who let me and my mate play through once. 3 of them were great but one was...

    Links or Parkland?

    Having just got back from Ireland playing links golf (see other thread!) i must admit i loved it. The weather was what you migh call typical links - changeable! Breezy one minute, throwing it down the next then sunny again 5 mins later. All this added to the appeal! Sure it was difficult at...
