    Honours Board Errors

    Yep, my surname was incorrectly spelt on the honours board at my old club. When I pointed this out, they had it corrected. Fortunately, the trophy was engraved correctly!

    Why do people smoke?

    Initially, due to peer pressure, image, boredom or other socio-economic reasons. Latterly, it is habit forming and ultimately addictive.

    Most expensive Club membership and joining fees

    College system, same as all the other top athletes? Despite scholarships, I imagine the majority come from wealthy backgrounds.

    Crash Dieting

    You'll feel much better eating 7 x 1200 than your proposal. Feeling good about the 'diet' is key to sticking with it. For the sake of 40 days, I'd ditch the curry and beers completely. A decent curry, extras and beers can be 3000 calories. Eat 6 of those in 40 days and that's the equivalent of...

    Crash Dieting

    800 calories per day is not sustainable. Minimum is probably 1200, but it'll be relative to where you started from. As already said, Im sure. Cut out all sweets, treats and fatty snacks. Eat good quality protein ie from chicken etc not shakes. Plenty of fresh fruit, veg and complex carbs...

    On Friday, I took the Aimpoint Express course......

    Dynalite Gold XP R300 info

    Cheers for the reply. The two sources illustrate my point nicely. One describes it as a high launch shaft, the other at the lower end of mid-launch! Cheers, Confused of Cambridge.

    Dynalite Gold XP R300 info

    Could anyone be so kind as to direct me to some specs for this shaft? Weight, torque, flight characteristics, suited swing tempo etc? I've tried the TT website and googling it, but there is little accurate info. Are these a superseded shaft type? Cheers, Paul
