YES....but i am not good enough! The TRUTH is that 99% never will be good enough. Even if you get down to scratch your still going to struggle to make a cut.........most pro's play off big+ handicaps now. Listening to sandy lyle comentate recently he was talking about how he played off PLUS...

i hit my 5 wood a similar distance to you......220. to hit the distance your looking for i use a 23* mizuno hybrid. i think you are looking for a 21-23 depending how you hit it! or a 4 iron :D

i only took the game up 18 months ago at the age of 40 something :D my best score so far is 91 but my weakness ( i guess like alot of people ) is chipping and putting. I focused on tee shots and irons to begin with ( and i reach all the greens/or near to them in regulation alot of the time )...

It is a question of budget and ability. As you are just returning to the game i am assuming its safe to say you are a high handicaper 25+? In which case you would be better off ( in my opinon ) with as forgiving a club as you can get at a budget you can afford. Pricebuster golf (.co.uk if you...

Obviously something went wrong here! You and your playing partner called it 7 but he called it 6. As others have said it can be really intimidating marking the card of some1 more experienced than you. He may not have been cheating but merely have made a mistake OR you and your playing partner...

they are good for beginners to try out golf ( imo ) if you are going to continue to play regularly i wouldnt recommend a packaged set. look round on the internet and you can find many deals for all the components of a set cheaply. sure you will pay a bit more than the cost of a set but you will...

i play the mx-17's as i slightly preferred them to the 19's and they are a hell of a lot cheaper now that the mx-19's have replaced them and they are just being sold off. i think the di7's are excellent clubs but they are not as game improving as the mizuno's ( imo )

it would depend on what the hole is like! is there a safe area if you miss the green? its no good taking the 5 wood if you need to carry the ball 190 over water but if its a long bit of fairway running upto the green maybe you can take the 5 wood and chase it up the fairway onto the green? you...

the mizuno mx500 driver is on sale for £89 online in a few places (american golf for 1) the problem is i am left handed so there are limited supplies of them. i could get a 9.5 degree driver or an 11.5 degree driver from them but i want about 10.5 and they haven't got 1 unless i get the aldila...

Re: Best course for winter golf...best post round drinks suggestion i think i have to agree links golf IS winter golf! Links courses generally dry out very quickly because they are more exposed to the winds so i am finding that i am still playing courses in tip top condition. i know hillside...

ok so i am opening up a huge can of worms here BUT i am thinking of buying myself a new driver (currently using a ram fx v series )but i dont want to spend £200-£300 on the latest greatest all singing and dancing model! mainly because i have only been playing for half a season and my swing is...

i haven't tried 1. the reason being that i am happy with my ben hogan baby ben by bettinardi if you want a bettinardi at less than half the price then several of the ben hogan models are being sold off at big discounts! they are excellent putters! however as i use mizuno irons i am sure the...

i would sell his granny too! but funnily enough i would kinda miss the agony of that tricky 5 footer sliding past for your par and making you want to tear your hair out! i don't think there is a much better feeling in golf than holing a denis wise (nasty five footer) for a 1 or 2 putt!

not sure if it has been done but i would like to see best 100 courses in the uk for under £25. Its all very well naming alot of the top courses in the country and putting them in a top 120 but at least 1 of them you couldnt play unless you were a member,several of the others you cant play...

for a great golfing holiday i can recommend the isle of arran! u wont find the courses in the magazine and (and if i remember correctly there is only 1 18 hole course on the isle) but there are several 9's a 14 a 12 all weird shapes and sizes..lol. why go? the courses are immaculate the isle has...
