Frustrating when I'm on with a chance for par and end up with double bogey.Highlight today played a 500 yd par 5 into a stiff breeze.Actually reached green in 4 shots,chipped went a few feet past one putt for a 6,really happy,but I am...

At first I would have said time,but unlike other sports I have played,I started this one at 35 yrs old. Too late,I learn quickly but my body is getting older.So golf is more than just a score for me really,but that won't stop me going...

I agree with leaving the driver at home.I'm a 26 handicapper,and mostly will use a hybrid which gives me around 200 yds off the tee.The times this strategy comes unstuck is if I struggle with the ballflight and it drops short or I don't...

Are we intelligent enough to build a swing of our own from the mass of information on golf?I think the answer is yes.Do we need someone to structure a swing for us or can we allow our own bodies to teach us and tap into awareness and...

I'm very close to breaking 100 and shot 46 on my last 9 hole round,just thought it would be good to ask how much play that entailed in breaking those scoring barriers as frequency of play and practice does have a bearing along with...

Last year played at Bury St Edmunds in UK.355 yd par 4,slighty downhill,with a dog-leg right at about 270 with bunkers on the left.It was a bit windy to our backs,took out driver thinking I would drop short of the bunkers,blasted it and...

Putting and chipping really helped me out this week.Fell off my ladder for work a few weeks ago,did my ankle.So I hadn't played for 6 weeks at all,no full swing practice of any sort,other than the short game work at home. For the first...
