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?

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 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.

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...

29 for me. Reckon I play 50+ times a year.

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...

Yeh, I know it’s irrational. More aimed at UK YouTubers who will have gone to Blackpool as a kid and seen ‘the sea’ because it’s the Irish Sea, or over on the east coast they’ll have seen the North Sea. Even in southern Spain you know it the Mediterranean Sea! Now, if you’re in west Scotland...

YouTubers calling it ‘the ocean’ when they mean ‘the sea’.

Thanks for the recommendations all. I think I’ll go cheaper on the trousers because I won’t wear them as often, probably go for the craghoppers, and then spend a bit more on a jacket. Much more likely to wear a waterproof jacket more often with an unexpected yes shower or 2. Is there such a...

It’s been a while since we’ve had one of these… Recently lost weight and have gone down from XL to L, current water proofs are hanging off me and making me look like a sack of spuds! So I need to replace them. Having to replace lots of clothes so can’t go mental, I haven’t got Galvin green...

Only if there’s a big pile of lion 💩 nearby
