    Hi everyone, is anyone still looking to transfer tickets for any of the 4 days? I wasn't successful in the ballot this time around, unfortunately. Thanks for any help.

    Shaft Identification

    Googling KBS CPI doesn’t yield much information. None that gives me a definitive answer anyway. What am I missing?

    Shaft Identification

    Hi everyone, I’ve just obtained an new old stock Nike Vapor Speed 3 iron and it doesn’t have a shaft band. I’m sure it’s a regular shaft and the etched number at the butt confirmed this I think. But I can’t find any further clues as to manufacturer or model. I realise the end is the date of...

    Course Planners / Yardage Books: Dead or Alive?

    I used AutoCAD and Illustrator and InDesign. I toyed with the idea of google map images and PhotoShop but you can guarantee good quality images and I prefer the simple look.

    Course Planners / Yardage Books: Dead or Alive?

    Thanks for everyone's feedback. It's an interesting topic - but I was never planning to quit the day job! (I'm an architect) As for Hole 1 at Prenton, I'm taking 7 iron and flipping a wedge - I don't want a 6 on the card after the first hole!!! :ROFLMAO:

    That was my fear, its a shame really. There's something to be said about keeping your electronics in your bag while you're on the course, especially phones with GPS apps. Thanks for your reply.

    Yes, unfortunately the production costs are higher than that. Thanks for your reply.

    Course Planners / Yardage Books: Dead or Alive?

    Hi everyone, I've recently undertaken a mini project to keep my software skills going. I've created a simple course planner for my home club. I'm fairly good with layouts and software etc. and I've had it professionally printed. Do you think these still have a place in our modern game? I'd...
