    LIV Golf

    First time I’ve posted on this thread for 2-3 years, only came on once I saw the rumours… No gloating. Have to say, Brookes was probably the one i was most gutted to see go to LIV. Always loved his game and his competitive spirit. Would be great to see him back on the DPWT next season, where it...

    GPS vs. Laser Rangefinders What Do You Actually Use on the Course?

    A combination of both. Mainly gps (hole19) on my watch, but when hitting into the green I like to know whether the hole is front middle or back, and so I’ll laser the flag to get a better idea.

    Fastest finger first. Booking tee times

    No doubt it’s a tricky situation, but the evidence I sent was pretty clear. 1 slot filled with 4 names, all of the others still available. Not a chance in the world anyone can type in 4 names and confirm the booking within 3 seconds. It comes down to whether the club are bothered about it. If...

    Fastest finger first. Booking tee times

    As mentioned, we have BRS and there’s no way around it. Saying that there was a fourball who always got the same tee time every week, without fail. There was a rumour that one of them had created an app that automatically booked the slot as soon as it opened. One weekend when I wasn’t trying to...

    Fastest finger first. Booking tee times

    I can’t remember the exact process on IG but it was definitely quicker on the app where I was. I spent about a year booking them on the desktop (by desktop I mean website on my phone) getting frustrated at not getting a decent time, until another member told me quietly ‘the app loads quicker...

    Fastest finger first. Booking tee times

    5.55pm? You don’t even know you’re born! Try 6.55 in the AM! Yep, 7am it opens on weekends. We try to play in the 9-10am slots, as you say, the most popular times. It’s not so bad if you’re already up at that time to get ready to play that day, but it’s a killer getting up at 6.55 when you could...

    YouTubers.

    Christ, another Billy Foster interview! Is there anything new in there, or is it all Seve stories including accent, plus a couple of Fitzy at the US open?

    I bought today.....

    Interesting. My swing speed isn’t fast enough for a stiff shaft, but the g425 came with a tense orange av stiff, and it’s been amazing. Straighter and longer. So I kept it and put it in the g430.

    I bought today.....

    I had the g425 max driver, it was great, best driver I’d ever had. I then believed the hype about the 430 10k max and bought that instead. Prefer the 425. For me it was longer and still had enough forgiveness. I’d highly recommend it.

    Golf Random Irritations

    I had a similar thing booking Spain for a few ‘newbies’ next year. I normally go with a society and someone else books it, he always moans about the headache of getting people to pay, and so I should’ve known better thann to take the lead on this new one! When I say new, it’s some old school...

    Membership Quandary

    As per my own recent thread, I’m going through a swing change this winter, practicing at the range once or twice a week, but still playing at the weekend in comps. Nerve wracking because I’m never quite sure how each shot is going to go due to the new swing. My old swing wasn’t great but I knew...
