Scored my first eagle playing with a stranger; it felt more special knowing someone witnessed it, and we played a few more rounds together after that. also had some fun rounds playing with players in their twilight, some great characters

Been talking myself in changing my Tensei av Blue 3 wood shaft for an av raw orange, as I am having the best time with my driver and hybrid with the orange, so had a look and saw one today on gc4c and I had a £10 voucher, so stuck a new tour velvet on it and all in all a bargain under £40...

Amazing, isn't it? I've used Tensei Blue stiff shafts at one point or another in all my fairway metals and drivers, and have always had good results, but the Tensei Orange is some sort of magic wand that's even better, even thought I thought an X-stiff would be a bit too much, but it's exactly...

The same thing happened to my stealth HD last year when I was playing a Kal'li White stiff at 9 degrees upright, my driving was all over the place, but recently changed over to a Tensei Orange Xtra Stiff at 9.75 normal and it's been nothing but straight bombs and an extra yards on top of it, its...

Last October, I decided to take some time off from playing golf, due to changing jobs and golf burnout, I guess, and sold everything. Fast forward to November 2025; I decided I wanted to start playing again, so I had to buy everything again, albeit 2nd hand. Which was nice, I had to buy a club...

the ones i have are these - https://www.golfworx.co.uk/product/proquip-tempest-waterproof-golf-trouser/ not too baggy IMO.. i have some FJ Hydrolite trousers which are a much slimmer fit, pretty much in the same style as a usual pair of gold trousers

Broke 100 for the first time since starting to play golf again, and got to have a good look at my performance by playing my home course. They seem to have made the fairways wider by 30/40 foot since I last played there, which is great because all the places I would have been in trouble, now, I...

Footjoy Hydrolite trousers and jacket (same as in my profile pic) were good, but I haven't found anything better than proquip - although if you want a non-golf brand, Patagonia Torrentshell H2No jackets are incredible.

After my range session this morning, I decided to finish off my bag. I hit 2 new clubs today, a i500 5iron, which literally blew me away getting up to 200 yards with it, unbelievable club, and a g425 max 3 wood, which is straight as an arrow at 240, which left me with an easy purchase of a G425...

Getting back into the swing of things (pun intended), I've basically had to rebuild my bag. Now that the gear I wanted two years ago is at the perfect price now, I decided to build up a Ping bag from previously being all TaylorMade. However, I kept my Stealth HD and put a new X-Flex Tensei Raw...

I think I just had golf burnout in the last months of last year I was forcing myself to go out then just going through the motions. At the time, my old job was super toxic, so I couldn't really relax playing golf, as I always had it on my mind. So I sold everything and got a new job, and was...

Went out for the first time in 16 months, was a bit cautious of hooking my drives into the motorway, so played pretty conservatively - swing is randomly better than before, my irons game was spot on (bought different clubs than I had last year, went from TM-770 to Ping i500), shortgame was mega...

I bought a few Tom Hagan polo shirts. Really nice polos that fit great, and they have that added '70s vibe.

I've been using The Grint, it works well, fortunately, I started to pay for the full version before they hiked up the price, which they kept the price the same for subscribers before the price hike. I think you can use it without subscribing, but some of the features are missing. If I didn't...

Bought a brand new 10.5* Stealth 2 HD driver head, to replace my OG Stealth HD, and after a pretty confusing and lousy range session in which the range balls were beyond usable, a few shots I did hit nicely, I was impressed. Dropped it down to 9.75* from 10.5*, cut my shaft down to 44.5'' put...
