Irons are great to hit especially off the deck when you have 170-180 to go and it lands on the green.It looks fantastic,but I voted for a striped drive right down the centre. You know it's a risky shot even in a wide fairway,because...

I loved the story about Billy Casper and Hogan when they played a round together.Apparently it was towards the end of Hogan's career,and he was was just hitting perfect shots around the course,and made a 70 without hitting any bad...

I would say this is only an issue if you are new to the game.I didn't entertain going to a course until I had about 4-5 months practice. I hit 110 last week worse round for about 4 months,my playing partner hit 80 and we were done in...

Friend of mine was late to the course and we started with no warm-up to beat the dark.Hence my iron striking which is a critical part of my game was bad,the worst it's been in six months. This made me resort to just reaching for the...

I just read "Putting out of your mind" Great read.I have to say that the mental approach of any sport is more important than the mechanical side.It's fine to know the mechanics of a stroke,but it's how you apply that that makes...

I think the general consensus here is that the good golfers on here have hit a 300 yard drive,heck I even hit one once,downwind the wind was funnelling through a tree lined 355 yard hole with a slope downhill.I caught it sweet out of the...

This thread has made me laugh,i think this is maybe a boast of younger men. I'm in my mid thirties and gave up on the distance thing within the first 6 months. I hit 99 on my last 18,and left my driver at home.I putted so badly that...

For me I have no problem taking a 6 iron off the tee,then a 7 perhaps and wedging in for three,then I have 2 putts for 5 or if I miss the green I can chip on and still take bogey at worst. The whole key to golf for me are the par...

I voted swinger,but don't conciously engage any hand action at all.I swing on plane like Jim Hardy teaches,but turn aggressively at the start of my swing with a hip turn,and then that momentum is the trigger for me to freewheel the rest...

I found the same thing with length of swing.I have only just started playing 18 months ago,and found the one-plane teachings interesting. My problem came from feeling that I wasn't turning enough,but after using a mirror,and knowing...
