Unbelievable. Able to handle the pressure of a tricky pitch at the side of the green and give himself a great chance to win (in his mind), but unable to remember a ruling which in hindsight will feel unbearably basic and unforgettable. Here's betting he doesn't repeat that mistake in the future...

For sale: Brand new Taylormade staff bag created especially for the 2010 US Masters at Augusta national. RRP £350 A wonderful bag for either a regular golfer, or memorabillia collector. I won the bag as part of a Taylormade competition, but unfortunately I am playing very little golf at the...

Hi all, I haven't posted on here in a while, and suffice to say life has been getting well and truly in the way of any golf. I really haven't even thought about playing in the last little while. I thought I would make the effort to log on however to share the fruits of my last involvement...

Is anybody a member of the Open fairways scheme? I've recently come across it having found out I am entitled to half price membership, and was wondering if people are aware of any feedback on it- good or bad. It sounds similar to the 2-for-1 vouchers on the whole, just with the befit of it being...

Right, as I know we have a lot of very knowledgeable guys / girls on here I thought I would post this plea for help, in a last ditch attempt to save the 5 gb worth of pictures, files etc that were stored on my micro sd card. Whilst they are no work of art pictures, and were never of great...

Just a relatively short post, as I'm not feeling up to a blow by blow account of the round at the moment. But basically I just thought I'd share with you all the fact that having returned to the course after a period of 3 months without playing a single round I shot a score beyond my wildest...

So it seems as if I haven't been around here for an eternity, and unfortunately it has been quite a while. But what with hundreds of other things to do in recent times I have just been too busy to even get in a game of golf, let alone frequent the forum. It was amazing therefore to check in over...

What a refreshing attitude he has. I'm sure some of you will have heard about the one legged golfer playing the the Dunhill links as an amateur this week, but for those who haven't it is well worth watching this video. It just goes to show the huge breadth of appeal golf has. Plus highlighting...

I've noticed in a few posts people commenting on plans, and regimes to improve their game over the winter. Personally, mine will consist of simply playing as much as possible, which unfortunately won't be very much :(, and getting in the odd lesson if time / money allows. For anyone who is...

Hi folks, I'm fortunate enough to be in the golf monthly office at the moment ;) , and thought you may be interested in what is going on behind the scenes. So far this morning, laughs were caused as the suitability of the phrase 'meat and two veg' was discussed in reference to the return of...

For sale: As above, with a stiff Aldila DVS shaft. The head has a few minor scratches on top as a result of two different 'skyed' shots but other than these the head really is in A1 condition. The headcover is undoubtedly one of the best I have seen for a modern wood; it is magnetic, sturdy and...

Stumbled across this accidentally this morning and I have to say first impressions- wow. I'm yet to read into it in great detail, however if this device is as accurate as my skycaddie- with the advanced hole overview mode then this device could be an absolute winner if / when it is released in...

I just watched the start of the coverage of today's final round at Celtic Manor and was alerted by the Sky sports team to the incident with Richie Ramsey yesterday. I'm not sure if everyone will have seen it, but Ramsey having placed his ball (the clean and place ruling was in play due to...

I don't know what it is, but whenever I play match play it takes a run of poor holes, and the build up of a hefty deficit before I pull my finger out. Today was a prime example, during the first round of a club competition. I was striking the ball pretty poorly on the front 9 and just kept...

Hi folks, unfortunately I find myself requiring some more of your wisdom... I was wondering if anyone has any good drills to encourage a good aggressive wrist action through the ball- specifically in relation to using a driver. I am currently struggling with keeping my hands 'square' (like they...

I never get tired of listening to this original version...the rest of the imitations are pretty poor but this is great for those who haven't seen / heard it before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OiHYRlcnAQ

I have my first lesson booked in over 6 months tomorrow with my club pro whom I know reasonably well and have had 4 lessons with in the past. I was just wondering though, as I have obviously got out of the practice so haven't thought about it for a while, as to what people tend to do after...

Hi folks, this is partially golf related but more suited to the out of bounds forum. Does anybody have a good way of downloading youtube videos and saving them to their computer? I know there are various websites and conversion programs to do this but I can't be bothered with trying them all...

Hi Neil, if possible could you give me some useful advice / drills to improve my swing. My fundamental flaw (in my opinion, correct me if I'm wrong) at the moment (as you will no doubt see!) is straightening my right leg on the backswing which I believe to be causing an overswing, however I am...

I have a tendency at the moment to straighten my right leg on the backswing. I know this is a big problem in my consistency as every time I think about it and as such don't do it I am hitting the ball well. When I think about something else (such as shaping the ball) I end up straightening my...
