I bought today.....

Would be as well as putting on your laminate flooring.

Is it still quick if you have the mat on top of carpet? I remember years ago I had a cheap mat and on the flooring it was lightning quick but on top of a rug it really slowed down.
It was meant as a joke to describe fast greens, "like putting in a bathtub and trying to stop the ball before the drain." :)
 
And a our Vessel rain hood by Seaforth, because the ones supplied with their bags is bulky, stiff and pretty useless and there's still a lot of rain to contend with.

Pretty decent value at £39 and it'll fit all my bags.

I'm collecting some branded work stuff tomorrow and bought a spare ball pocket cover, which is getting my business logo stitched on, so looking forward to seeing that too.
 
My Motocaddy trolley is going really slow even with the speed set to 9 so I think the battery is on it's way out (over 6 years old, think I bought it in November 2019). Was in two minds whether to get a new trolley as it's the big five oh this year as a treat or just get a new battery. As usual I cheaped out and went the battery route when I looked at the prices on Motocaddy although they did have an ex-demo remote controlled one for £699 which was tempting.

Even cheaped out on the battery route, bought a lithium battery in the right spec, bought the connecting cables and a carry bag for a total of £86 from eBay. It's a 30ah battery so should be good for nearly 36 holes and I think I should be able to use the Motocaddy charger to charge it. Cheapest aftermarket 36 hole battery I could find was £140 and I suspect they are doing what I've just done.

If the new battery doesn't fix the speed I guess it's the motor that is going and once I change that I'll have changed the gearbox, motor and battery so should get a few more years out of it.
 
Following on from my recent driver/fairways fitting, I've been waiting patiently for the shafts to arrive, but the latest update is they are landing sometime this week.

I asked SGGT this morning if they'd build my driver in the meantime. They did exactly that and it's been through QC and I have tracking details to be delivered tomorrow.

With their updates, they sent me this pic, which I thought was a nice touch...

How did you find SGGT for the fitting?

Chesterfield store is only around the corner from me, definitely interested in giving them a go when the time comes to replace my driver.
 
13 knockoff golf pride align midsize grips from AliExpress for £30.64 delivered. Roughly the same price as 2.5 genuine ones, so if they are crap then I guess 2 of my wedges aren’t getting new grips. 😂
These arrived yesterday and as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

They say “align” on them but there is no ridge, it’s completely flat. The corded top part feels smooth, not sure how much grip it is going to provide.

I might put one on a wedge to test but if I have to chase my wedge down the fairway after it slips out my hands I’ll know not to put the rest on. 😂
 
GolfClubs4Cash have just opened up a new shop in Southampton. It’s conveniently on my commute so would have been rude not to pop in.

Traded in my old set of irons that have been in the garage for a few years and picked up an almost immaculate sm10 60 degree wedge to have a play around with. 14 day cooling off period so if I don’t get on with it then it will just go back
