Apart from putting them in my bag and taking them on and off, absolutely nothing. As I say, my ebay putter cover and my golf club logoed driver, fairways and putter covers are all still going strong.

Some Chinese factories are better than other Chinese factories, but the ones tendering at the lowest price get the work.

If they give a phone number on their website, give 'em a call and ask. If they tell you to complete the form on their website, tell them you don't own a computer or a smartphone.Golf clubs not putting their membership costs on their website, and asking for a bluddy form to be completed to get that information, when you know they need members.

Playing in a 4 ball this morning and being held up by a 2 ball. 6 holes later they let us play through.

Early last year we had a spate of quad bike attacks on the course. It has multiple access points so the club spent a bit of cash on fencing, gates and locks which seemed to have cured the problem.
This morning, the world woke up to find that our friend had returned with a vengeance. They had come equipped with bolt cropper and cut the lock off one of the larger gate that the greens staff use, accessed the course and absolutely mullered the 15th green.
Needless to say, the members are a wee bit upset and our phantom quad biker probably needs to keep his head down. But I suspect he knows that.

Had a lesson a few weeks ago, a round and 3/4 range sessions and felt I was starting to get the changes bedded in - cue a round which involved 90% tops and the occasional shank and a total of 15 points! Was painful, but on the plus side, the ball never got high enough to get affected by the wind so mainly went straight- just not very far

Lower back spasm’s. Walking around fine, even playing golf is ok, but they hit and are debilitating.

I feel your pain. Before the lesson I had I told him I wanted to break 80 more. Can't even break 90 now and barely broke 100 yesterday.

Last winter I had 6 lessons, one every 3 or 4 weeks. But, my pro was clear from the start and said there’s no point investing in the process unless i practised. I therefore planned 45 minutes practice time on a Monday Thursday and Sunday (luckily I have a range 10 mins away). The pro sent me a video after each lesson with 1 or 2 things he wanted me to bed in before the next lesson.
I also practised hitting the positions when I walked past large mirrors in the house (sad I know). I also got worse before I started to get better, so what I’m saying is stick with it and try and get a few reps in at the range. Easier said than done but structured practice after the lesson is key. (I started the season on 5 and finished on 2

In the club winter scratch foursomes we need to win and draw our last two games to win the league again
The game today was the one that was more “winable” - so the captain decided to “rest” a few of the better players to “freshen” things up - the four players that replaced us were given a thumping and managed to squeeze a draw- now we need to win the last match but he has annoyed a number of the players he “dropped” and they won’t play now
Guy is a clown and didn’t learn from when he didnt pick his best team last year as well

If that's the amount of time investment it takes them I've got absolutely no chance unfortunately.Last winter I had 6 lessons, one every 3 or 4 weeks.
