Hi... I can't host as we're staying at Slaley for the week, but would be happy to meet up somewhere if logistics work!

Hour on the range then 14 holes with my boy. From nowhere (last 2 months?) he's now suddenly striking it better than I can, and a similar distance! I've promised him he won't beat me till he leaves school, but I might have to eat humble pie on that one by the end of the summer!!! Loving the...

Back to my original post... and sorry if comparing footy with rugby offended anyone. (Disclaimer: I've played footy for over 20 years, never once played rugby. Have only been to about a dozen rugby matches, compared to thousands of footy ones). The original point was about VAR. VAR works in...

It works perfectly well in the 'chaotic' world of rugby union across the globe. The referees in rugby union are infinitely better than their football counterparts. And don't have the same credibility concerns. Foul and abusive language is already against the rules. Tell your players to behave...

Experimenting with irons... So, I bought some new irons, and think I've plumped for the wrong shafts. Anyone know a decent marketplace/site where you can buy second-hand shaft sets (or swap out ones you don't want!)??

My fixes for football... before it alienates the general population! 1. VAR needs to be more like rugby/cricket etc. Clear language/only when needed... it works in other sports really well. It's the culture and poor implementation that's making it a nightmare. And that's all down to Howard Webb...

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! :) :)

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...

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)

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...

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! :)

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.... :)

"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...

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...

Yep, I'm happy to attend a meet up, holidays permitting. Don't mind hosting something at Seaton Carew too if that's of interest to anyone.
