OH NO a British person doing well at something. Better shoot them down in flames then and say they didn;t deserve it. WELL DONE LEWIS

Me and some mates are planning to play the Old Course at St Andrews next Spring. Up to end of March its 64 quid, then for a few weeks its 90 then goes to 130. Their website says fairway mats are in use to end of March. Are they what I think, a bit of astroturf you have to take round? Is it...

Had a game with my mate today, on the 3rd he went into a greenside bunker. First 2 attempts he didn't get out, on the third he caught the lip, the ball looped up and back and landed on his shoulder against his neck, and stayed there. We were playing matchplay so he conceded the hole but whats...

Re: www.s-h-g-c.com I'll let you know where I stand......I'm out

Has anyone used the David Leadbetter Swing Setter? I'm thinking of buying one but not too flush at the mo so trying to justify it by checking if they are any good. Anyone here wanna sell one?

As a fully paid up member of Slice Club, I thought I'd tried most things to cure my out to in swing path. Seems all along I was trying to fix it from the wrong place, ie the start of the downswing. Was trawling through youtube looking for inspiration and spotted a vid where the fella placed his...

Sounds very nasty mate. Think I'd rather have a bad back myself. ;)

But surely a hole-in-one competition can't be classed as a proper event can it ? Its a bit of fun , not something thats going to affect any handicap and i'm guessing anyone could have entered the initial comptetion . What would happen if a non-golfer entered and won with a flukey shot into the...

Tony, you can only win £500 in an amateur event. To accept this money you enter a sort of no mans land where you have no official handicap and cannot take part in amateur events, but you do not become a professional as in teaching for money or entering pro competitions. This happened to Bobby...

Tony, my grip is ok, yes I must be casting somewhere in the swing, you can see my left wrist has broken down. I think the club is over the neighbours fence

Looks like this.

One of my many swing faults is "flipping" my wrists towards the target at impact. The causes the club to lean away from the target and opens up the clubface adding loft and encouraging a slice. I know I have to keep my left wrist straight with a slight bowing in the back of my right wrist but am...

I think you'll find its only illegal to hunt golf balls with hounds. Otherwise its ok to dress up in a red jacket and chase them on horseback. Still cruel though.

Sounds weird but bear with me. Am I right in thinking its best not to visualise striking the ball directly on the target line? That is, at the 3 o'clock position when looking down on the ball. Is it better to imagine hitting it at say the 4 o'clock position to encourage an inside path? I find it...
