Managed to get out this morning, we had 1 temp green and water everywhere. We didn’t realise at the time we were lucky to go out early as it was mostly frozen and we only noticed how saturated everywhere was when it started to thaw. Think it was a feels like -5C when we teed off, the flag on 16...

Shouldn't have to do that, Trackman has it built in (well a Trackman 4, not sure about the range one). I often play a practice session that I'll set between 50-120 yards and it will give you random distances with random pin positions on different shaped greens. It will also give you a Strokes...

Drivers are too easy to launch in the air, loft isn't your friend unless you have a low ball speed and need the carry.

Amazing results. You definitely need to start hitting balls as your timing is likely out. I used to get that at the start of every season, I’d do like a month of Superspeed to get back the speed I’d lost over the winter and I’d play terrible golf for a few weeks before getting it back. This...

We went to Gran Canaria last year at February half term and the plane was full of pensioners.

Or wait until they are on sale at GC4C, can get them for under £200 if you really want to try one out. Can also send it back if you don’t think it’s worth it.

If you are driving it well, would you want to change? I'd only change if you think you are seeing a ball flight that is too high and balloons into the wind, if the ball flight is still good and you are hitting it well then a change might mess things up.

I’ve seen these on Teemu and AliExpress and was thinking of replacing the 3 shelves I have in the garage with one of these. Let us know what it’s like when you have built it.

Course closed again. What’s also annoying is that my driver side window on my car had stopped going down, I’ve got the parts to fix it but it won’t stop raining long enough to give me the time to fix it. Checked the Met Office app and from 2pm this afternoon until 6pm on Friday there is...

Saw someone last weekend with a North Face puffer jacket with the hood up on the first tee. Thought he was out for a walk with his mates until he went and got his driver. No idea how you manage to play in that. When it’s cold I usually have on a thermal base layer, polo, a thermal 3 quarter...

So I did a little more digging into this and found a document from Foresight with a table for club and ball speeds. My iron swing and ball speeds are right in those ball parks, probably between 2-3mph slower inn ball speed in PW-6 on normal swings. i.e. 6 iron on a normal swing is around...

Agreed, that's why I've been hitting balls after doing the speed training. Even the first few swings with driver after it are pretty tentative. For some reason I can really go after irons hard, as I said in another post I can now get my 6 iron to 96mph yet a flat out feeling with driver is only...

Managed to get the green stick to 125mph last night on Trackman. Hit balls afterwards and couldn’t crack the 160mph, fastest was only 158.7mph. Definitely plateaued, think I’d probably need to do 3 sessions a week if I wanted to get faster. The encouraging thing though is that I can get my...

Was supposed to play but course is closed due to heavy rain. No sign of the rain going away either, MetOffice has it raining every day next week. Definitely feeling like a couple of years ago when it rained for months.

Don't see why you couldn't get to low teens at least, especially if you are having 6 or 7 pars per round. Age shouldn't have anything to do with it unless you have a long standing injury/impairment, it's not like we are out there playing 7000+ yard courses. Just depends how much of a natural...
