    The left hand/arm in the golf swing

    The left arm for me is important in controlling width - especially in the backswing and tempo. Rory is a big advocate for the left arm in the golf swing and he talks a fair bit about keeping it as straight as possible. Any large break in the elbow can lead to inconsistency. You don’t move...

    Gym before or after work

    Has to be the morning so long as you can get a breakfast in. There’s been a few studies on training time and I do not think there was massive differences. When I used to train I just could not go after work. Literally zero motivation to go.

    Fairway woods

    I would recommend getting a fairway wood as as you get better you do need one as part of your set up. I think brand wise... I would probably look at a TaylorMade or a Ping. Reason being is they have a friendly shape to them from above and especially how low and flat the face is. Allows for a...

    Nike RZN Tour Platinum

    Iv used them for about a year purely for the value. Don’t try the black version they are terrible. Full shots they are fine although they are rather loud and feel a bit dull Spin and trajectory and distance all very good. Don’t check up as much as I would like on chips and off the putter...

    getting people in their 20's into Golf?

    Scrap joining fees and lock membership fees until 30 or so. Might also be an idea to do a season rate from April to October or something instead of the entire year. Or even a system where you get a heavily reduced rate and you can play 20 times a year or something. I'm 27 next month and it...

    End of season handicap results/ stories/ excuses.

    Thats totally bananas. You have to be the most improved golfer of in the country. Unbelievable! Set a goal of 8.0 and managed to achieve exactly 8.0 from 11.7. Unfortunately got injured for the Medal Final which I was gutted about but a great season and a good £160 in winnings from...

    Does shaft weight really matter?

    Heavier shafts will tend to go lower and straighter as they are less whippy as a rule of thumb. If you have the strength and can sacrifice a few mph in club head speed then go for a 70g shaft. I'm being very generic.

    How much?!?!

    So much hate in this thread The flags post whoever did that made me chuckle. £650 is not a ridiculous amount of money if they keep the driver for a number of years and play a lot. I'm sure people for example eat out a couple of nights a week or have the ultra HD sky package. It's just about...

    How well do you understand the mechanics of a good golf swing?

    I think about my swing A LOT but don't really have a clue about the mechanics. Keep it on plane and try to get everything turning in sync. That's about it. A 3 at the most.
