    For a ‘standard’ full shot. How fast does a typical tour pro swing?

    I had a lesson a couple of years ago where the first thing he said was to swing at 80%. It's something I find difficult because it feels slow, even though I still hit the ball far enough.

    Golf Random Irritations

    Buying new golf clothing that goes bobbly on the shoulders after a few rounds because you are carrying your bag for the winter.

    Age for seniors

    Most seniors that I see playing golf have got a lot more money than working age people, they should in no way get a discount.

    Golf Random Irritations

    It only rains birdies when I'm playing, just a shame they're for my playing partners. :confused:

    The Cricket Thread

    This pitch is a road, so watch Salt and Buttler get single figures again, while England's best opener is in at number 7. :rolleyes:

    Golf Random Irritations

    I would have thought it's impossible to have competitions where you could choose if it is qualifying or not. Looking at scores for qualifying competitions at our club this winter, they are on average 2 or 3 shots higher, but nothing drastic.

    I bought today.....

    A Zero Restriction jacket with CME Group Tour Championship branding. Over £200 on their website, £15 in a charity shop new with tags. :D

    A better practice facility is all we are missing, the range is only 150 yards. A simulator is currently being built in the clubhouse.

    Cobtree is in Maidstone too, as is The Ridge and Leeds Castle, so best 1 out of 5. In the area outside of that, I wouldn't join Kings Hill, Wrotham Heath, West Malling, Sittingbourne or Weald of Kent over here either. London Club, Chart Hills, Wildernesse and Knole Park are further away and...

    Kings Hill is preferable to anywhere around here in winter due to being on sand, but it is rock hard in the summer, even when it's not bone dry everywhere else. The layout isn't the most interesting either, and the clubhouse feels like you are waiting for a job interview.

    5.8% increase from April to £1,850. Not too bad considering were are the best course in Maidstone and the surrounding area. Some members had feared it would be higher.

    Best golf shoes for season ahead - what do you recommend.

    I always wear Puma Nitro shoes as they as comfortable as it gets. You can't really beat them for the price. https://www.clubhousegolf.co.uk/acatalog/Puma-Alphacat-Nitro-Golf-Shoes-White-Red-Puma-Navy.html

    American golf under new ownership.

    The shop in Thurrock is good with plenty of stock, but it pales in comparison to the king of golf shops at Silvermere. As a left hander, I've bought most of my clubs from there. The course is decent too considering you can play it for only £30 at the right time. Also, instead of affiliating...

    LIV Golf

    World ranking points should simply be 1 point per $1 (USD) earned on a rolling 2 year basis. This shouldn't include money paid to players to be contracted or the bonus at the PGA Tour Championship, just money earned in the individual format in each tournament.
