I searched for a similar thread but found none...anyway, I stumbled across these while browsing t'internet. Made me laugh so I thought I'd share: A Diego Maradonna - Nasty little five footer. A Paula Radcliffe - Ugly, but a good runner. A Kate Winslett - A bit fat but otherwise perfect A...

:crying: Absolutly Gutted!! I fractured a vertebrae today whilst playing American Football, trucked a DB but obv caught things slightly wrong and hurt my back. The good news is that it's not too serious so there'll be no lasting damage...but still gutted I'll be out for so long. Just as my...

Played this course on Saturday http://www.manorhousegolf.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE_HOTELS/the_club.aspx I got a book for Christmas listing all the top "championship" courses in the UK. This little gem was in it and when I found they had a special winter deal on for only £30 per round I had to give it a...

Hi Andy, I was wondering what your favourite putting drills are that you use for practice. As I realised I don't really know any and I feel like this section of my game could be key to my progress this season. Thanks PS. I read the thread below about the mirror and getting eyes over the ball...

Here's a few shots from my 7 iron in the net: EzdKjTxdGlM Me and my pro are currently working on getting everything on plane and keeping the swing short/compact, I naturally used to come over the top quite a bit. Therefore, to obtain a neutral ball flight he's asking me to really rotate my hips...

Hey guys, I've been having thoughts about this so as always figured I'd come here for your thoughts and to act as a sounding board ;) Having only started playing golf last April/May time my initial problem was producing a consistant stroke and therefore hitting the ball where I aimed it was a...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/golf/9287706.stm Haha! I mean I'm obv a Euro fan and appreciate he's done a lot to contribute to previous Ryder Cups, however, surely he can't get back to the level required to compete with the current crop of youngsters coming through. Still, I guess everyone...

Here's a link to a load of pics: http://s804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/Dazinkster/Wolf%20Creek%20Golf%20-%20Sept%202010/ Pic upon entry We played Wolf Creek back in September this year, unfortunately it was just after their overseeding and the white (Masters) tees were the furthest back we...

Right, so I'm just about entering my first ever winter season of golf. As you may have guessed from the title I'm having trouble playing out of the thick stuff. As it rains a fair bit in the UK the rough is now all juicy and thick. In particular I'm having trouble judging how far shots will go...

Anyone seen these before? http://www.stupid.com/fun/CAMO.html

As some may have seen I've got a fair bit of cash to spend in the pro shop. I'm thinking of getting a laser range finder as I'm a massive "yardage" golfer. I like to know that I've got for example 148 yards to go...therefore its a 7 iron with a slight grip down etc... Anyway, what one should I...

Wooooo! So happy right now! It was a 9 hole stableford off the back tees open to anyone that won a mid-week qualifier over the summer. I shot level par gross over 9 holes...and that was after starting double bogey, bogey. So a final stableford score of 26 points, pretty much the best I've ever...

Just thought I'd share this with you guys as I couldn't quite believe it earlier (neither could me mates)... Anyway, me and 2 friends went down the range. I was testing out my new clubs, one of which was my re-shafted R9 Super Tri. I was pretty pleased with how I was swinging all session (both...

Right, a playing partner had an interesting scenario come up a few weeks back that I am hoping you guys will be able to help with. My course has a few blind driving holes, therefore there are big 6ft+ red and white aiming posts at the top of the crests (I'm sure you know the sort). Anyway, my...

Thought I'd venture into the whole recording swing and posting it up thing. As I've mentioned in other threads, I've been playing since late April and tbh I'm very very happy with this current swing compared to where I started. Thoughts welcome please. I have my own thoughts but I'll let you...
