    Favourite Golf Glove

    This. I bought a set of these just for the range. Found I actually prefer them to any fancy cabretta gloves so use them all the time now. They sail through getting wet without a problem and last ages. I find a lot of premium gloves the stitching round the end of the digit digs into your...

    The Cricket Thread

    I remember the early T20 World Cups were super-compact affairs. Done and dusted in 2 weeks. Made a great tournament that held your attention throughout and just about every match had meaning. I know more nations is a good thing but his one is starting to feel like a slog already...

    Phew! Fair enough. 😊

    Annual subscription 2026

    We're £150 for juniors and for that they get monthly group coaching included, a tournament with a free meal after, and a couple of free indoor sim sessions over winter. All but the most short-sighted clubs want to encourage junior golf and all but the most hard-hearted accept that a small...

    Professional Golf

    1) No, just don't. 2) I'm going off a paraphrased quote only, but just assuming you can be Ryder Cup captain whenever you want and that you'd be doing other people a favour by doing so (rather than it being an honour for you) seems on the arrogant side. I realise the full quote, and how it...

    Replacement Golf Bag

    +1 to Motocaddy Hydroflex if you want a carry bag that also works well on a trolley (especially a Motocaddy one). Does both jobs well. The new Elitelflex looks like a slightly souped up version of this so may be even nicer. Having said that, little Squirrel has a Motocaddy SOLO which is...

    If you’re going to finance it but you/lender need a % deposit up front then it makes sense.

    Random Irritations

    And if they all want the same holidays? In some sectors you simply can’t have whatever you want. If you’re in an office that’s one thing, but if you’re running an ambulance service or a power station…

    Strokes Gained, kind of!

    They’re already struggling for computational power, haven’t even added trees into their model which will exponentially increase complexity. Despite what they think, their maps are not all that clear and give little data beyond the fact that hazards are bad and closer to the hole is better...

    Should golf be more judgemental?

    Extra marks for taking the tricky route through the windmill blades? 😆 Although if you want to add a 1 shot penalty for not completing your round in a certain cutoff time I’m all in favour. The clock stops if you’re being held up by the group in front but otherwise up to you to get round. I...

    OWGR

    Not sure how that’s relevant with three streak breaking finishes below 10th in it 🤷

    OWGR

    18 top 10s in a row now - if he keeps it up to the Players then he will have been top 10 in every event he played for a full calendar year!!! Did Tiger ever do that - if we exclude time periods with long injury layoffs? 27 is the record I think. (Yes I know Byron Nelson had loads more than...

    And now has to wait for who knows how long while poor Bridgeman plays on the beach! I had no idea that was still in bounds!

    Morikawa had to wait an eternity on both 17 and 18 tees. Not what you want, especially in a strong wind.

    It’s just somehow encouraging to the rest of us (me anyway) that don’t exactly look like NfL linebackers that you can be scrawny and speccy and still be top level. OK you’re right - it makes not much sense 😆.
