    I bought today.....

    Took a punt on the 20% off on the GC4C website. Irons and driver traded in for Titleist T250/150 combo set and a TaylorMade Q10 driver. Here's hoping they're not being re-traded back in later in the summer! :) :)

    When you need to improve - a shout out for club pros!

    I posted before about going to buy some new irons from our pro. Went for the fitting, he told me that a box on the simulator screen wouldl turn blue when they were the right irons for me. The ones I already owned were the only ones that lit up blue. 'Save your money, take the wife on holiday...

    I bought today.....

    We've just taken our two (18 and 14) to New York for the first time at christmas. They loved it. Loads we could recommend if you want any suggestions. Natural History Museum and The Edge are must do's IMHO. (y)

    Shot Tracer App?

    Reviving an old thread.... As it's the time of year I make my annual visit to the driving range, excited about the season ahead, was just wondering if anyone had found something phone-compatible to give some stats and a visual tracer? Figure it'd be good to know a little about my swing and make...

    Ping G440 K Driver

    I was just wondering whether I should get mine out of the garage and give it a whirl again.... however, you may have just reminded me why it's been in the garage for the last couple of years. That said... I do remember it had a lovely, boring flight and rolled out loads. Decisions decisions! :)

    Best golf shoes for season ahead - what do you recommend.

    Footjoy Premiere Series. Lasted 2 summers, playing weekly all year round; never let water in once. Just bought a new pair (in last seasons colours in a sale) for the year ahead. Each to their own though.... :)

    New Putter?

    "After using the same Odyssey White Hot putter for over twenty years, I'm thinking it's past time for an upgrade. While I still favor getting a Anser type blade like my White Hot I'm open to maybe a mallet." Do it! :) I strongly suspect if I got fitted they'd say my stroke suits the spider...

    New Putter?

    I used a Scotty Newport 2 for years - then switched to a spider and my putting has never been better. It's been in the bag over 3 years now and I can't see it ever changing; for me it's just so much easier to get it rolling end over end. My young boy has just started playing regularly so I...

    New clubs or no clubs for 2025?

    I went to our pro just before xmas to say I wanted to upgrade my Ping i200s. After a simulator session in the xmas holidays, and another last week, trying half a dozen brands/models he said this: There's nothing I can sell you which will make you any better, or you'll be able to hit any better...

    Golf in Durham

    Great thread and suggestions. Just my two pence worth... Good luck finding a 'posh' part of Hartlepool. (Tongue in cheek given I live there!) :) You're limited for hotel choices. Prem Inn on the marina is the only real place in the town (Travellodge excepted). A few B&Bs I suppose. If you're...
