    Spain or Portugal...where is the best golf?

    Been here since October 2008 and yes, we can sure have a game or two. I can book you in with the societies I play or sign you in as a guest at La Finca - one of the best, if not the best, in this area.

    why dont we look after our own first

    I left in 1991, so will bow to your better judgement about being allowed to buy and use your own body armour vest as opposed to the issued one. I know we used to use "self purchased" jungle boots and shirts, but not things like flak jackets etc....

    Lessons

    I have lessons on a fairly regular basis. Don't class them as "lessons" as such, just a bit of fine tuning and a check to make sure I've not slipped into any old bad habits. Even Tour Pro's have "lessons".

    Difference between different manufacturer's wedges

    I had a lesson recently, another one from my professional friend, and we went back to what he told me the last time!

    Pay for Custom Fitting or not?

    Got to admit, the best thing I ever did was go to the TaylorMade Centre of Excellence in Germany for my birthday treat to myself in June this year. I had the full fitting via the MAT -T system and no, it wasn't cheap, 250€ for 2.5 hours, but they did everything that is possible to do with...

    Any Experience of Direct Golf Price Match

    I use AG and Golf Europe for most of my purchases as they don't charge any shipping to here in Spain if you spend £100 or more. I often play them off against each other and got myself my new RBZ 5 Tour wood for £142. If my order is for under £100, I buy some more Z Stars, 2 dozen for £50...
