A lot of guys at the club have been suggesting getting a set of irons that are custom fit. I got my current set back in 2012 from Direct Golf and have never had the lofts and lies rechecked since my first alteration when I purchased them. I feel that my swing speed and mechanics have probably...

Our course only has markers in the middle of the fairways so a GPS watch is more beneficial than a laser range finder. I’ve got the Bushnell Neo iON which was about £110 when I got it last year. Good watch with loads of measurements and also a shot distance measuring tool which is great when...

I’ve got three pairs of Nike Explorers from about two years ago which are lovely and comfortable and retailed at about £50.

I was thinking that because last years was played on the Bracken it would be the same this year... could be wrong though!

The NAPGC National Final. Hahaha, well you’ve just sorted out my practice schedule for the next few weeks 😉

Playing the Bracken course in a few weeks in a National Comp. I'll assume a few people have played it before... what is it like? Any tips or things to look out for? Also, does anybody have a stroke saver I could buy for a small fee? Cheers!

Paul Lawries son qualified for the next round. With Paul missing out due to injury it would be great to see his lad qualify and have Paul on the bag!

Don’t see why somebody’s handicap or ability would impact on whether they should play with them or not? Perhaps they are very good friends and have played golf together for years? Just so happens one is a single figure player and the other guy just isn’t as good? Handicaps reflect your...

Cheers for the reply! No I’m not a member at the course I am playing today. Looks like I’ll keep hold of the card at submit at the next review!

Just wondering if you are able to submit a scorecard (I’ve already got a CONGU handicap btw) from a society round of golf where the format is Stableford and off the yellow tee’s? I am aware that you can submit one from a casual round as long as another CONGU member signs the card. Playing...

Had the same thing at start of this season. The winter we had meant hardly any golf and so first league game in April was first competitive round I had played all year. Played absolutely awful, found every bush/set of trees imaginable, shot 24 points and felt like giving up. Finally the last...

Absolutely love Poults! I've had the pleasure of meeting him and talking to him twice. Proper down to earth guy who came from a background where he had to work hard to get to where he is. I have a lot of respect for him because of that and the passion he shows for the game. The vid of him...

I would have still gone out and played. My first handicap card was with two lads off 5 and 8, they were top lads and really helped me round, showing me rules and offering the odd bit of advice. I’ve played with them many times since then and they have often complimented on how far my game has...

I went to a range near Walsall that had bays with screens on etc. The yardage’s were way out though. It was coming back saying I was hitting a 7 iron 190 when I know full well a 7 iron is 160 tops! I had it confirmed by the pro that was present that these yardage’s on the tech were not the...

Sorry only just had chance to update this thread. All four pairs were sold to one buyer yesterday afternoon! Thanks for the interest though!
