    Inexpensive grips advice

    Just check the core size of the grip and butt size of the shafts. If I remember right last time I looked at them they only did one core size. If that’s not the same as the shafts they will either be over or under size when fitted.

    Inexpensive grips advice

    I’ve always used golf pride tour velvet but when I wanted to regrip my irons last year I didn’t want to spend £70 on grips - always managed to find a deal somewhere in the past. I bought a cheaper version called Karma and can’t fault them, they’re as grippy as Tour velvet and still almost as...

    Loft and lie

    I had mine checked this weekend, 7 out of the 10 needed altering. Most were 1 degree weak but a couple were 2 weak so 5yds of my loss of distance isn’t my fault :) A few had also gone 0.5 or 1 degree flat but 1 was 2 flat so well worth the £21 it cost me.

    Skycaddie SX400 - real use thoughts?

    I had this as well. I may just have been unlucky, but there was a little bit of play where the holder slotted into the accessory station and the constant rattling going over uneven ground made it break (stress fatigue if that’s a thing for plastic).

    Charnwood Forest - Sunday 23rd April

    I might be a non runner now :( Hurt my ribs 2 weeks ago, made it worse trying to play last weekend and don’t feel any better now. I’m hoping to be ok in a couple of weeks but won’t risk playing until it feels right.

    Roll Back Discussion

    Do you think that’s what it is now, or what it should be? Or are they one and the same?

    Roll Back Discussion

    What do you think a 400 yard hole should play (club-wise) for an average club golfer?

    Roll Back Discussion

    Since pros don’t have arcoss sensors on their clubs I got this from last years distance report. Looks like the big hike ended around 2005 but it has still increased since then. Arcoss data is all very well but I haven’t heard many people saying there’s a distance problem for regular club...

    I GET SHOTS

    I agree with you that plenty of people don’t understand the new system, but some people just aren’t cut out for understanding numbers and that’s fine. A computer or a notice board will tell them what to write in the handicap box on their card and they can just get on with life without needing to...

    I GET SHOTS

    I’m not considering changing my thinking because I think I am ok with the way I think. I do think about how many shots I get but don’t know why that is a bad idea. Unless I have misread your posts on the subject it seems like you are suggesting that we should think about the new system in a...

    I GET SHOTS

    What I don’t understand is why I need to change my way of thinking. If I turn up and look up how many shots I get on a board by the first tee, how is that hindering my golf game or my enjoyment of it?

    Loving the match play, but ….

    I didn’t notice that, I must be developing some sort of immunity to him 😂 He should get on one of the more lengthy threads on here though since the guy that “dominated” the putting stats and was way behind in the others won the thing.

    Loving the match play, but ….

    PM’s comment that I remember most from this past week… Players that win their first match go through 80% of the time. How does that work when most groups have 2 players that win their first match? Could happily live without his commentary. Dougherty, Beemer and Radar favourites but quite like...

    Hitting Net

    I had a net once upon a time. Although they are very strong, the constant catching a ball that is spinning (I only used wedges into it) wears it out more than any speed the ball may have. If I got another one I would make sure there are 2 layers to the back of it, or maybe a canvas behind the...

    Electric caddy carts - slow play culprits

    I remember buying them from the tuck shop at school, and I’m a senior now! Found them in B&M. No idea why they wrote “share bag” on the front. Lunatics 😂
