+1 on get used to it. Sounds like you're tall, if you're using irons at +1/2", choke down a bit if you need to, and get some more of them there lessons :)

Yes people exaggerate, men especially :) It is possible to hit it a long way though... A decade ago when I first took up golf I remember going to a Ping fitting session in London and selecting and buying my T-ISI driver, it was a nice...

No Ping can change the lie angle no problem on all recent clubs, the only exceptions are the older exotic material clubs, BeCu etc. that have lost there malleability with age - and Ping will even bend them, they just get you to sign a...

The Sand Trap has a much easier volume of postings to keep up with. GolfWRX has been driving me nuts recently with so many near identical 'I'm this handicap, can I play these irons?' threads. In both cases it would be better if newbies...

I used to play with glasses or prescription sunglasses according to weather - led to a couple of twilight disasters where I'd left my glasses in the car and had to play the last couple of holes blind :) Had LASIK 3 weeks ago, it rocks, I...

My 61 goes 80 yards exactly with a full swing. Awesome on a couple of the holes on the local pitch and putt - I'm horrible at hitting with a partial swing, something I need to work on. Hitting SW and LW saves me the embarassment of the...

It's the lie that varies by dot. Mine are White - 3* up, which is probably a bit much, but I was fitted for them 10 years ago by someone who hopefully knew what they were doing, they seem to work for me, though I'm only 6'2. I just...

I try to be good and stay away, at my level new gear ain't gonna make much difference...But then I was stuck in traffic Thursday night and figured if I just popped in and killed half a hour it might subside a little, and anyhow I could...
