ram golf set

[Jason_L]

Good day.

I was wondering if anyone has had experience or has views on a ram golf 3g concept set? I would be very interested to hear. Many thanks.

Hi Jason.

What level / stage are you at?

Try this link to a thread that happened a week or two ago.

Thanks for the reply. Although I have been watching and betting on golf for a few years, I only actually started playing it 2 months ago...had about 8 lessons (most of them on the course), just getting kitted up now to have a crack at it properly (within budget constraints for a 22 y.o.!)

Hi Jason.

When I started I bought a set of Ram clubs (G Force). DG had them on offer for £150 for a full set - 4-PW, Driver, 3&5 wood, 3 iron/wood, putter bag and wood headcovers.The woods were a bit poor as I lost the heads on both. (DG did replace them though!)

Brilliant value to get started with.
With experience you'll end up changing stuff as I did. Still have the 5 wood (looking to change) and the hybrid in my bag though.

I was offered the set for £150..but opted to change the driver to a better one to add a bit more on the cost. I think I'll end up with driver, 3w, 2 rescues, putter, 5-sw + 4 headcovers + bag. Should have them very shortly. Of course, I will now need some of those 'extra' things, like a glove, balls (always helpful), shoes, tees etc!

Does anyone have any tips for winter golf - what sort of equipment would be handy?
Thanks
Jason.

Don't be fooled into buying those winter tees.(rubber bungs held together with string) TAT!

Get yourself some waterproofs if you're playing on a course (not sure if you're playing on courses yet or just down the range)
Warm clothes is a must. You will warm up whilst playing though, so thin loose layers is a must. You will find yourself removing layers as you get warmer.
Woolie hat is mandatory for winter golf.

What kind of a post is this ? Essential kit in my winter bag.....what else can you do when the mat is so frozen it won't take a tee. Might be tat, but they're better than nothing.

DO BUY one of these.

If the mat is that frozen. Should you really be taking a swing on it?

I went apex over base last winter on an iced up mat, that to be honest I didn't think was frozen. Landed on my hip on the concrete edge of the platform that the mat was placed on. It damn hurt. Had a huge bruise, and it was just lucky that I wasn't one of the more senior members.

However back to thread.

A good wooly hat, and some decent waterproofs if you're likely to be out in all weathers.

My sentiments entirely!
