    From Despair To Boundless Optimism!

    In the space of 3 days! Played in a competition at our place on Saturday, and played like a complete bell end, as if i've never swung a club in my life, with more shanks than a Lamb factory. To be fair, i'd been playing awful for around 6 weeks. Going down the 18th, I said to my playing partners...

    Good sites for buying used balls?

    Yeah, i've found that too, probably chuck away 2 or 3 out of each bag, due to cracks on the ball mainly, but it still works out at less than 50p a ball!

    Good sites for buying used balls?

    Don't Direct Golf still sell refurbished Pro V's at a tenner for 24? Bought some ages ago and still have plenty left.

    Ryder Cup betting.

    So who has had a flutter this year? Really pains me to say it but I fancy the USA this time around. 2 major winners in the side, and it seems our guys, McIlroy being the exception have struggled a little this season, especially across the pond. Think it will be tight but can see USA snatching it...

    Disappointing deadline day

    As a Huddersfield fan, i'm not happy at all. Sold our best striker in over a decade, Jordan Rhodes, to Blackburn for £8m, and by leaving it so late we have been unable to bring in a replacement. We've signed Adam Hammill from Wolves on loan, and whilst he is a decent player, he isn't a striker...

    Magaluf

    I love Majorca, but never been to Magaluf, not my scene. Heard from friends that it's just a 'sunny Blackpool' which puts me off. Been to Alcudia loads though, my favourite holiday destination by far.

    Anyone bank with natwest and get paid weekly?

    I bank with RBS, yet our work's business account is with Natwest, so we haven't been paid our wages yet. Went to Barclays today to transfer £300 into my RBS account and that hasn't showed up yet so that was a waste of time. Hopefully it will all be sorted by monday.

    Hobbies besides golf?

    I like to play guitar and videogames when it's chucking it down!

    For God's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Believe it or not, the exact same thing happened to me yesterday, and on hole 4 which is also a par 3! 4 old blokes who were pottering about and playing as slow as Ben Crane and Kevin Na. Stood behind them at the tee box expecting them to let me through, but no such luck. I was a bit peeved at...

    Belly/long putters - to ban or not to ban?

    Voted no, because I use one!

    Sorry if this is a taboo question around here (beginner!)

    I started with Dunlop clubs from Sports Direct, and they were fine. Traded up to the Cleveland's once i'd joined a club and started to get into the game more. The Dunlops should be ok for the first year, especially with a baby on the way. It's amazing how much extra stuff you have to buy once...

    Jubilee Weekend Plans?

    No golf for me until sunday when I play my mate, then on monday i'm taking the missus to see Prometheus in 3D which i'm really looking forward to. Couldn't care less about the jubilee to be honest, it's just an excuse for a day off work to me!
