Interesting thread. I've always, like the OP's link mentions, tended to swing naturally more around my body, whilst suffering from an overswing which reaks havoc with my consistency. Having now looked at a video I took during my practice session on Wednesday (first time I've played golf since...

Agreed, I feel for him but it was the correct decision.

Unbelievable. Able to handle the pressure of a tricky pitch at the side of the green and give himself a great chance to win (in his mind), but unable to remember a ruling which in hindsight will feel unbearably basic and unforgettable. Here's betting he doesn't repeat that mistake in the future...

Have you notified skycaddie? I'm pretty sure in the event of a device being stolen they can switch off the units ability to receive their GPS signal. At least that way you don't have to worry about some low life gaining anything from the theft. It will be useless to them and difficult to sell on...

Being a golfer who plays regularly for a couple of weeks, then not at all for a couple of months (or longer now in my case, but I'm trying to get back into it, honest!) I unknowingly let my skycaddie membership lapse. In doing so I learnt very quickly that the device is useless without an up to...

Here are a few pics I took if you are interested. It really was a 'fun' golf course. That's not to say it's easy though- much of the 'rough' is brutal...well so the rest of the group tell me :rolleyes: :D :D

I played a round here in the first week of July. I'd heard good things and was not disappointed. Firm, smooth and fast greens throughout the course and for many of the holes lush fairways- despite the sheep which freely graze them! The views are also great; once you reach the mid point of your...

For sale: Brand new Taylormade staff bag created especially for the 2010 US Masters at Augusta national. RRP £350 A wonderful bag for either a regular golfer, or memorabillia collector. I won the bag as part of a Taylormade competition, but unfortunately I am playing very little golf at the...

Hi all, I haven't posted on here in a while, and suffice to say life has been getting well and truly in the way of any golf. I really haven't even thought about playing in the last little while. I thought I would make the effort to log on however to share the fruits of my last involvement...

I also enjoyed my payday having received an each way pay out on Casey, and win + each way pay out on Poulter. Not enough to cover my years subs, but still better than a kick in the pants. Leaves me nicely in the plus numbers. Shame about Oliver Wilson for a moment he had me thinking I was...

I had a small £1 ew on O.wilson at 100/1- won his first round match and meets Mcilroy tomorrow which is certainly a make or break tie. I thought the odds were very generous though and worth a flutter. Elsewhere I've backed Luke Donald each way at 50s, Casey at 18s and Poulter at 28s, just to...

The times you look like a knob will be easily erased in the instances where knowing the right yardage, leads to a correct club choice, a good swing, and a pin high ball 6 ft left of the hole ;) . These are usually the same instances where Mr No. GPS middles his 6 iron only to find, as his ball...

Interesting. Certainly whenever I see a yellow ball in the rough I don't even consider looking at it as it's invariably a rock! It may just be me but the yellow coating even seems to make the z-star look about as reactive as a spherical stone. It would certainly take some getting used to, but...

+1 is the best handicap of a player I've played 18 holes with. Quite simply he was a member at my club looking for a quick round one summer afternoon, I was on the range practicing when he was warming up and asked if I fancied a knock on the course. I had some time free and was hitting it well...

He wears a black glove I think. Another reason to hate him! ;)
