    Hole Length at 2024 Open

    Might not even need the wind. I'd imagine Troon will be baked fairways come July and they will get about 80 yards of roll out.

    Hole Length at 2024 Open

    My new course has the 2nd hole as a 557 yard par 5. Last 3 times I've played it I've hit driver, 3 hybrid, 3 hybrid as it runs south to north and has been into the wind on each occasion. It's only stroke index 12 so I'm assuming that during the summer we get the normal south west wind but still...

    Membership cost increase

    That's fairly generous of your club, I'd have told them to go find somewhere else to play.

    My Swing Speed Journey

    LOL, no. About 20 mins for Super Speed. It's been a combination of the rain having the garden like a bog (I'm now doing them on the path in the front garden instead), working late some nights, doing family things, walking dog etc. With the lighter nights now coming in the last few sessions I've...

    New golfer wanting to invest...

    I've no doubt the Benross irons would be good for you and they will last as long as you want them to, the trouble with them is that they lose so much resale value. Also as others have said, if your budget is £500 then you could get a quality set of Ping's 2nd hand for that. Any of the G range...

    My Swing Speed Journey

    I remember Sasho saying in a podcast that the real key to speed training is the frequency and being able to be really consistent with it. He said the biggest part of it was being able to do those 3 sessions per week, I guess that's why the Stack tries to gamify it with the schedule score. It's...

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    Was supposed to play in the comp tomorrow but the forecast looks horrific so we played this morning instead. 2 general play rounds in a row submitted now for me, a new record. Tried the Eureka swing again today with mixed results. Hit the driver ok in that I never had a single drive (15 in...

    WHS doesn't work

    I’ve told plenty of project managers my acronym of SISO when they have handed me a functional spec. Sheet in Sheet out.

    Electric trolleys

    I wouldn't have put the phone down without buying it at that price.

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    I’ve been watching Steve’s channel for years so knew all about it but just never tried it due to my miss being a pull and the feet pointing left terrified me. I think it was the flatter swing plane and the feeling of taking the club back slightly inside that really helped me. In saying that...

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    Tried it out tonight as well. Was striking the ball poorly to begin the round but scrambling was saving me. Thought I’d give this setup a go halfway down the 5th as my ball striking couldn’t get any worse and it totally transformed my round, had my best ball striking round in probably a year...

    Cheap Top 100s

    I've played Bellisle and Lochgreen, definitely a good deal.

    Knockouts

    When did they start? I've not even played my first round match yet in our knockouts, doesn't need to be played until the end of next month. As for the question, I'd definitely do them separately.

    ClubV1 query - Unlinking from a previous club

    I was getting the same issue, I was still getting the updates from Arcot because I hadn't unlinked them in the V1 app but when I clicked on the notification is would say something like "your account for this club is locked" or something like that. I then found the unlink button behind the...

    WHS doesn't work

    I'm always sceptical of the US handicaps since so many of their rounds are general play and even then a lot of them submitted scores when they played on their own. It's like a podcast I listen to, both the guys are now down to 3.something yet the majority of their scores seem to be them putting...
