    Golf Mindset

    Interesting reading everyone's thoughts. My teacher is a big 'instinctive golf' guy, somewhat old school and since taking up with him last year my game has improved tenfold. Went from never breaking 100 to regularly breaking 90 and shooting a PB of 84 last weekend. The thing he's drilled into me...

    Books - what are you reading just now?

    Been steadily working my way through all of Stephen Kings stuff in no particular order. Gotten round to 'Carrie' earlier this week and whilst it's a touch dated, it's still very readable.

    Wilson Dynapower Irons 6-SW

    Put a few rounds through the weapons now and have to say I'm very pleased. Listed a few pros and cons below to save me rambling on. Pros: Forgiveness - Poor strikes still provide poor results, but generally speaking there'll be no significant shape to a toey pull or a heeley push. Distance -...

    Golf Random Irritations

    Superb idea and implementation for the buggies that! Never seen that before, though a lot of the courses I play aren't particularly lavish... can barely afford to pay the greenkeepers it seems.

    Golf Random Irritations

    Good idea but a touch ambitious I feel. If some clubs can't even be bothered to put a bell up then I doubt they'll front the cost for tags, especially as it'll be costly to replace them. The head pro at my local is forever morning the loss of buggy keys because people forget to hand them in...

    Golf Random Irritations

    All jokes aside, it's a bit of an issue that I really do think needs to be sorted. The mirror on a stick thing is a great idea and surely not that difficult to implement? Not sure how you'd gage the distance though...

    Golf Random Irritations

    Groups that turn the 18th into a ceremony ground for saying there congratulations and goodbyes. Ludicrous. Also, lack of bells on holes with blind tee shots. Why?!

    Golf Random Irritations

    Big one for me that. I finish every session with 2 goes on the approach challenge and at least half of my pitch shots never get picked up. Beyond frustrating when the only one it decides to notice is the only shank of the day :mad:

    Ryder Cup 2023 - Italy

    They'll just never understand. I've given up trying to get her an board. I remember when Villa got promoted 2 years after relegation and I couldn't hold it together, she said it was the most pathetic thing she'd ever seen (and she's seen me cry at the movie Babe at least twice in our long...

    Ryder Cup 2023 - Italy

    For all the wonderful things about my partner, she'll be stubborn about her dislike of sport until the day we die. She's absolutely resolute on showing no interest whatsoever

    The GFs birthday tomorrow and we've got a load planned up until Sunday... I could weep...

    The Footie Thread

    Recent history still lingering and a fat wage packet, no doubt. Chelsea are falling into that trap of feeling entitled to high finish positions and cups every year and are just throwing money about thinking that's the only solution. You'd think with the rise of Brighton and Emerys success at...

    Wilson Dynapower Irons 6-SW

    Been playing for almost a year and a half now. Used to play a lot in my teens and got pretty decent at one stage playing off about 12, but I may as well have not played at all when I picked up a club again. Since starting up again I've gamed a few sets of irons. Nothing particularly new, Ping...

    I bought today.....

    Deal of the century today. Was fitted for the new Dynapower irons about 3 weeks ago and had my nose to the grindstone saving up for them. £579 5-PW. Was meant to pick them up next Friday. Go check FB marketplace last night like you do and there they are, EXACTLY to my spec aside from tape layers...
