I've been recently having tons of trouble with my grip (the traditional style - left over right). I've heard from a few people about a grip called 'the lock' or similar, but none are really sure how it looks or works. Just wondering if anyone has some images of this and some advantages/disadvantages? Thanks

I think if he'd have done a full US season, he'd have atleast won one event. Plus, he's got a darn sexy swing.

Come on, she's only 16. Surely she must be a bit nervous. I know I was terrified when I was gonna do a little speech infront of my little class at that age.

I actually had a run of pars going, but I put one in a set of tree's and tried to play it onto the fairway, but ofcourse I hit the smallest tree possible (must have been the width of the ball) and it came right back to where it was before. Thats where I got my one triple bogey. But still, I'm so happy with how I played .

Wow, I just shot my new record score (90), 8 shots under my handicap. I've never played so well, everything just worked. 5 pars and tons of bogeys, and the odd (damn them) double/triple bogey.

The wind has been pretty strong out at St. Andrews, could be why?

I'm undecided. I like how they're trying to innovate, but i'm just wondering if they're trying too hard. As long as they include a standard controller I'll buy one.

I suggest getting a cheapo one from eBay to begin with. Try it out for a few weeks and if you like it enough, upgrade. I bought my Taylor Made from eBay (3 years old) and got it re-gripped and I love it.

So there is hope for all of us...

I just don't get how you can possibly compare a baseball swing to a golf swing. They're like on totally different axis Either way, I enjoyed it. Loved it when the American's couldn't get out of that bunker. Anyone know what handicap that Tommy plays to? Please say its not scratch.

Driving: I just recently replaced my R580 with a new Cobra 454 and its really helping me get into most fairways. The course I play on is really tight with tons of trees overlooking, so even the slightest fade can mean your blocked out. The Cobra is helping to eliminate those huge fades I used to hit, giving me a bit more distance too. I really should use my 3 Wood a lot more, but I just find myself feeling more confident with my driver. My big driving problem right now is my grip, I just never feel too comfortable when I've got my driver, even though weirdly with irons its fine. Score: 3 Irons: I, like everyone it seems, replaced my 3-4 irons with a hybrid and its helping with those long shots I used to hit a soft 5 Wood with. Irons are probably the strongest part of my game, I usually hit it straight and quite long, but I need to get the overswing sorted out. Score: 4 Fairway Woods: Just got rid of my 5 Wood, so I find myself using fairway woods less and less. The course I play is quite short, so I find myself using irons more than not. Score: N/A Wedges: Originally at the start of the year, I promised myself I'd get a good wedge, now at the end of the year, I'm still with my original wedges. I don't use them too much, except the odd 100 yard in sand wedge. I always find myself getting way too far under my wedges, and then balooning them up in the air and loosing tons of distance. Something to work on. Score: 3 Chipping: A weak part of my game, I need to figure out when to use different clubs for chipping. I usually take my PW, when I should use an 8 iron or something. But its got better over the year. Score: 2 Putting: I replaced my various old putter with my Taylor Made and its made a ton of difference. 3 putting was a regularity before I got this club, now I usually 2 putt or less on every hole. Lining up the logo with the hole (something I learnt on here) has helped a lot too. Probably the biggest improvement. Score: 5 Overall: At the start of the year (April), I couldn't play golf. Now I can play to my handycap, which was my goal at the start of the year. So overall, I feel happy with how I've played. Score: 4

It'll make a good change, even if I don't know 3/4 of the players.

I'm just the same. Like today, I started by getting on a difficult par 4 in 2, but I ended up 3 putting, I got over that and went to the next par 4 and got on in 2 again, but I 3 putted, for the last 7 holes I just plain sucked and lost all concentration. If I'm not in the right mindset, I might aswell walk off, because I just don't enjoy it.

Who cares about that , look at the grass...so beautiful.

Doesn't this image just make you want to go play golf? Its a screenshot of the PS3 version of Tiger Woods 2006. Shame its gonna be about a year till release, especially with how crap (graphically) the PC/PS2/Xbox/GC etc. release looks compared (See Preview ).
