So I posted a review of the G20 driver which seems to have stirred up some mocking and such like. I asked DCB (he is local to me during the week I suspect) if he fancied putting his money where his mouth is. I am willing to extend this to anyone. So if you think I can't hit my driver 300+ on a regular basis feel free to offer me cash to prove it. I would like a new putter at some point and why pay for it yourlsef when I can take cash off someone on here. As I live in Yorkshire its easier for me do to it during the weekend, range or golf course not bothered which though the golf course would be better I guess.
So come on chaps put your cash where my wizard sleeves are!
but can you put? cos if you can't I'll take you on a crazy golf course for cash?

999 long, straight drives out of 1000?
Mostly over 300 yards....?
More chance of getting a favour from Maggie Thatch.........
With a 115mph swing and a regular shaft...?
Now where's that ignore button - haven't used in since the last monster hitter was filling us with his BS..

i don't disbelieve you either but what gets on my goat is the fact that you believe no one can hit it further?why is this?
and for that reason i will take you up on the offer of a challenge,you say you are up in scotland during the week near edinburgh so how about you travel up to callander one day and we'll have a game.
we can choose one of the holes to have our wee long drive comp and lets say whoever hits the furthest drive out of 5 balls is the winner.i think 5 is fair as we might not hit the best ones but i think we shouold manage atleast 1 real good shot from 5.
how does that sound?

he's probably getting 115mph because of the regular shaft.if he caught one good it might go further than he would get with a stiff shaft but i would question accuracy with that sort of ss with a regular shaft.but surely they would just bomb straight up in the air,maybe 300yrds with the wind behind but i wouldn't expect much roll out either.

In defence of timgolfy, I still believe his approach to learning golf was right, learn to bomb it, then control it, then the short game, etc.
It was just his relentlessness on here about it that grated.
I liked the guy. At least he put it on the line, and didn't hide behind his keyboard. He should get more credit for that, and less derision.

In Steves defence Murph he is willing to do so also .. its his arrogance rather than his ability that bugged me , if you can drive it 300 yards even 50% of the time, great , dont come on with the attitude of the OP tho ," put your money where your mouth is! , front up to a forum meet & bring it .. as with Tim, lads will respect that

How long have you got ? Tim came on here with distance off the tee is God & boasting 371 yards (i think) . prob is every thread/post got back to the same .. In fairness to the guy he fronted up at a forum meet & under serious pressure & scrutiny he made a mess of the 1st .. theres a link below , but the guys reckoned he was a top man & good company & in fairness i do believe he did bomb 1 or 2 that day ..

I think he blobbed the first 6 holes. But was good company, and in the end, that is all that really matters in a golfing way.
His mantra was length, and more length. To be fair, he was working on the rest, just didn't bang the drum as loudly about that.
Had a view that there was no point in getting a handicap til you could play a bit. Well, mainly bomb it a bit. And then a bit more.
It might have worked, and was an interesting project, but he was a bit in your face, and got the hump with some negativity from certain parties. Shame, as it would have been good to see how it progressed, rather than the usual short but straight brigade.

Intersting seen the video. Can put that down to pressure though. Done many of those myself when people are watching such as medal play without having the pressure he put himself under. Having said that the distences some people claim to be able to hit are unreal. My best is 268 yards including roll on a nice Summers day last year not hit one close to that since and don't expect to do so soon either!!! Where is Timgolfy now then has he vanished into obscurity? or is he out on Tour somewhere!!

No idea mate slipped away into obscurity , some of the banter did get a bit hairy tho so maybe that did contribute
Four or five fourmers qualified for GM final on FoA in october , has to be the most nervous i have ever been on a 1st tee ever , Mike H & Jeremy E from GM & their photographer aswell as the other players standing around watching .. squeeky bum time i tell ya
Think that was all the beer the night before. To be fair you only squeaked once on the 17th when you had an eagle putt from 20 feet, a birdie putt from 6 and a par putt from 5

I was there too but I didn't stand up to the pressure, trying my damndest not to slice I ended up hooking into the bushes on the left and blobbed the hole.

Very very straight, split the fairway, longish .. as long as Steve? , nah mate , but then again i have one thing from my ok long & very straight that he will never have ha... (& in fairnes he might never want) driving does get harder with an audience tho, wont mention drives on 9 or 11 but rest went ok
