The big Friday afternoon Golf Monthly office debate...

[JezzE]

Much heated debate has just taken place in the GM office as to one's prospects of breaking 100 with a set of junior clubs I have just purchased for my 4-year-old daughter for Christmas (secondhand goods off the editor)

You get a 3 'fairway' driver, a 7-iron and a putter that's 19ins long - that's even shorter than Robert Garrigus's.

Me, Tappers and Jim Mason reckon we could do it (we're all off 5, 6 or 7 - something like that); Mike, Alex, Westers and Tom say no way.

What do you reckon?

 

[DaveM]

Eeer do you normally break 100.

 

[ADB]

Not a chance.......your back would never make it Jezz.

 

[need_my_wedge]

Presumably Mike broke 100 before he gave them up for your daughter? :lol:

 

[pokerjoke]

No i dont so.

 

[RichardC]

At least you won't need to put them on a trolley

 

[need_my_wedge]

I reckon yes. I've seen the pro teaching my son hit the junior clubs, and he does it with ease.

 

[chrisd]

Course length and par?

[JezzE]

I do keep it just under three figures occasionally off 5... (though not by a sufficiently wide margin this year!)

 

[JezzE]

Let's say my home track at Crowborough Beacon - about 6,250, par 71. A bit concerned the carry across the gully on the par-3 6th may be a problem, but might find some way of playing round that

I stand a better chance of climbing Everest in fishnets with a grand piano strapped to my back guys!



Or more simply .... No!

clubs for a 4 year old, definitly NOT

clubs for a 7-8 year old you would probably do.

Do I feel a GM challenge article about to be appearing in the February (slow month) edition?

 

[richart]

With clubs for a four year old, no chance, and you would probably injure your back.

 

[bladeplayer]

Wouldnt think so Jezz , have a small set at home in the house that the kids ocasionaly use , couldnt see me doing it anyhow .

 

[Oddsocks]

jezz, it depends on one crucial key factor. Will you be using a trolley or even a buggy to transport the said heavy items around a golf course.

I'm not a 3-foot midget, and Tappers has already offered to caddie for me (looks great with the tiny double-strap bag on his back somewhere around his neck!).

 

[patricks148]

Jezz, only ever seen a photo of you and you don't look that tall, so 'im going to say yes you prob could...

Watch it all that lot might break his back

 

[Oddsocks]
