To be fair, graphite shafts are normally associated with bladder problems and other age related infirmities :lol:

I hate you all :)

just wait till the handicap challenge is concluded, then we shall see if my wee stained old mans clubs perform better than your young whippersnapper ones,, Could have been worse, Ping clubs with Graphite shafts :)

However from a point of order I think that the OP is in danger of being hijacked , lets keep on track gentlemen :)

Did you not move from Ping to graphite shafts. Frying pan to fire.

And skirts surely :confused: ;)

Really enjoying using my irons so far although I don't particularly like the stock grips but merely a minor complaint.

Hi, I am a member @ West Berks Golf Club near Newbury and I play off 4.

I play in a lot of opens though (best way to get to some top courses) - Off to Royal North Devon next weekend and then Saunton (my favourite course) on the Monday!

Cant believe i didnt sign up to the fourm earlier!

Welcome

Group of us, including a few off the forum went to Saunton last November. We played Burnham and Berrow on the way down, and that was virtually flooded. Next day played Saunton East, and the course was completely dry. Couple of puddles in bunkers only sign it had rained. Saunton drains as well as any course I have played.

Good to hear Saunton is your favourite course, one of mine as well. I assume you prefer the East over the West ? Certain GM guy on here doesn't rate it.:whistle:;) Must admit I am not a fan of RND, and apart from the Pro, one of the unfriendliest clubs I have ever played (twice)

Firstly, Welcome aboard.

Secondly, 24 from my club have just returned from 4 days at Saunton (I usually go but went to Formby & Hoylake instead) and they said, although the weather was unkind at times, the greens were still as dry and fast as ever!

Thirdly and more importantly, I'm already following Alex and have chatted with him about becoming an Orkaite and when my house sale goes through next month, I will be having a fitting session and go from there.

Enjoy the forum :thup:

The more I read on this forum about these guys, the more I'm thinking of putting off my wedge upgrade until the end of the year and getting a full fit for irons and matching wedges. The gear looks and sounds superb.

Not a worry for me, have been fit for what works for me and Im not the sort who goes through a variety of different clubs depending on the weather direction like some on here, go thorugh the right process, get some that work and stick with them, mine will be in my bag for a good 5 years minimum

100% if you are properly fitted with a set of clubs, like all orkaites are, you don't need to buy a new set every year, I intend on keeping mine until they are no longer worth anything

I am just going on what the saunton website says, but maybe their version of wet is actually, a little damp but still amazing. I love the east course such an amazing challenge!
Must say when I played RND last time they were very friendly, and for £25 at a weekend you cannot go wrong!

Love links golf, but couldn't play it everyday. Makes me feel inferior!

I prefer a brand that'll hold its value as well as perform. Would never touch a lesser brand again even if they have a cult following as you'll get pumped when you try to trade in or trade up.

Good luck all you whale lovers.
