    What’s the point of competing?

    No not a silly post at all, but thanks for yours and everyone’s feedback. If it wasn’t for new comers to the sport posting “silly posts” this forum would be very dull! Any way I've got it off my chest now and I’ll carry on as I'm doing in comps to try my best at all times.

    What’s the point of competing?

    So now ive been playing golf for around a year and a half my handicap started out at about 38, ive won plenty of comps since then but its been increasingly harder now as im playing off 18. Ive not yet shot under 90 but if my calculations are correct I’d have to shoot mid 80’s to score in the low...

    Using my core

    Hi all, its been a while since I've posted. After playing golf now for about 6 months I've only recently fully grasped my striking of the ball with my irons with little effort of my arms using my core strength with very good results and much further distance. However I’m in 2 minds weather i use...

    Golfing holidays abroad.

    Thanks bratty, warm to hot destinations about 5 hrs flight time, beach costal would be ideal but a must have for the wife to explore the area. Not too fused on the price as they all seem similar in prices online. Just want a personal experience of where they’ve been. Edit, I don’t have a...

    Golfing holidays abroad.

    Really getting into my golf as a newbi golfer and I'm looking to go abroad with my wife (who’s a non golfer) to play a few rounds. Any recommendations on companies to use to do this as there’s so many on the web to choose from and where to go especially if there are places of heritage to visit...

    Golf fitting for a new golfer

    Thank you for all your replies and knowledge so far, i went to a golf store today to have a look at various clubs. One particular brand and model of irons felt different in a good way to me as i could feel the club head whilst swinging the club, if thats a good thing or bad i really don’t know...

    Yes i think I’ll probably change my driver and maybe my hybrids to start with and see if theres any change from changing my irons whilst I'm at the fitting.

    Golf fitting for a new golfer

    Hi Chris, i’ve been looking online at various used clubs but they all have different flex’s with different weight shafts and brands to choose from. Im just thinking that my current set of “starter clubs” so to speak will not make me progress much. My other hobby is clay pigeon shooting sporting...

    Golf fitting for a new golfer

    Thanks for your reply, my instructor did say he was very surprised with my natural swing style( he doesn’t say that often apparently!) My worry is that I don’t want to spend thousands on a set of clubs that may not suit me in 6 months time as my technique gets better.

    Golf fitting for a new golfer

    Evening all, new to the forum my first post. I’m really enjoying golfing even though I’ve only started about a month ago, practise a lot at my local driving range and I've been out on a course several times. My question is that i want some fitted clubs because whilst using my driver i can hit it...
