Started playing around age 10/11 on the driving range only and was a good 3 years before I broke 100 and did it in style with an 89 breaking both 100 & 90 barriers at once (albeit on a par 64 course) age 14ish breaking 80 came shortly after (18 months) and then maybe another 18 months before I...

Hi Guys, just wanted to say thanks very much for the advice. Speech went well in the end, the only blip was forgetting to thank my opponent in the final however he is a very humble guy and didn't mind. A couple of people told me afterwards that I spoke well, just glad i didnt make an @rse of...

Hi Troops, got our sportsmans' dinner & prizegiving tonight. I'm going to be picking up old big ears (club championship). It's the 3rd time but in the past I've just declined the opportunity to "say a few words" - public speaking is not my forte however every other champion has done a short...

Call head pro at Linlithgow Golf Club - Graeme Bell. Former assistant at my place - they do custom paint and stamping with matching golf pride multiompound on vokeys.

Sent you a PM with a possible solution

I reckon the key is to play sensibly, take into account where the pins are, try to give yourself the correct angles into greens on 4s and 5s and don't shoot at sucker pins (there will be plenty for the Club Champs) people will make bogeys due to the conditions so par golf is a good strategy...

I'd consider this a fairly good year, I have come down from 5.0 to 3.5 with a brief spell at 3. usually I play about 40 comps which makes it hell of a difficult to maintain never mind lower your handicap so missed out on a few that I wouldnt have fancied getting cut due to the conditions.

couldn't wait so started the process in my lunch hour, basically filled the jug with toilet duck (quicker and more effective than coca-cola) left it for about 5 hours and they came out all shiny and silver in colour. the next morning i used the blowtorch to heat the putters when they were in the...

suppose this would be the during stage, a trip to the £1 shop for some toilet duck and a measuring jug after the rust removal process:

quick update on this project, the flaming has been done here are the before pics so you can see what kind of nick they were in. I have a wee bit of work to do just finishing off the paint which i'll do tonight but reasonable happy with results so far

Thanks for the advice, fairly certain it's 1st gen, was planning on removing the insert first and giving it a polish. hoping to give it a go this weekend

Hi guys, been reading up on torching or flaming a putter on golf WRX. has anyone ever tried it? for those who have never heard of flaming it's basically a process of stripping the finish off a putter using coke / vinegar solution and heating it with a blowtorch until it gets a gun blue / oil...

I managed to win mine on Saturday, thought I'd be delighted but now feeling empty and deflated after building up to it for so long with nothing left to look forward to until next year

I was wondering if anyone knew of any open competitions which take place during the week (not seniors opens) - got a lot of holidays to take and would prefer to use them to play golf but hate bounce games

Afternoon all, Query regarding medal play. In a normal stroke competition I am aware of scores being adjusted by stableford rule i.e if you have a quadruple bogey or worse on a hole you are stroking on it will be cut to a treble for handicap purposes and if you are not stroking it will get...
