Hey guys,

Found the forum in google and been having a look around. Looks like there is some really good advice on here at the moment! I hope to stay and post a bit here and there.

Currently playing off 20 and back into the game after a couple of years lay off. Loving every minute of it and desperate to get my handicap down! I'm sure everyone is

Cheers

Dave

I'm also a new UK member.

I'm currently an infrequent player (circa ten times a year), but a relatively long time golf club member (over ten years). I've been playing football on saturdays, and what with family commitments and british weather this means that I've never committed to golf. This changes this summer. Although I have a handicap of 21, I'm capable of playing much closer to 14-12 with a few rounds under my belt. I currently have a set of clubs that don't suit me (Callaway graphite shafted clubs, a hand me down from my father), and research has led me to a hungry lust for a set of Ping S58's (which I shall buy second hand as all the S58 users shed their clubs for the new S57's). I've trialled a set of these, and I hit them like a dream - both long, straight and consistent; everything my Callaways are not. I've not hit a club so striaght and consistent since my original £70 training set (no joke, they weren't as long, but I miss them.....).

Playing at Beeston Fields in Nottinghamshire.

    • The 2026 Thread is here:
    • Just like the 2022, 2021, 2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025 topics, we're doing it again in 2026! Once again, I'd like to birdie every hole at Whispering Woods in 2026 (and maybe every numbered hole on other courses). I'd like you to join me on this quest. This year's spreadsheet is below: 2026 TST Birdie Challenge - Google Sheets   Please click through, add your name, home course, and location, and when you make a score on the holes as you play them, update your line in the spreadsheet with your ringer score, basically. The idea is to score a birdie or better on each hole on the course this year. If you're above a certain handicap and would like to make it a par challenge, go for it! Just add that note to the Notes column. Please leave the formatting as is. And note that you only write down one score - if you birdie a hole three times, you aren't writing down -3. It's just your best individual score for each hole. We can all cheer each other on and see where this takes us! If you truly play a TON of different courses, then follow these two guidelines: If you just play a lot of golf, but still get 20 or 25 (or more) rounds in on one course, consider making that your home course and just doing the birdie challenge there. If you truly play only 20-40 rounds per year, and never more than a handful at the same course, consider trying to birdie holes numbered 1 to 18 across all of your courses. Or even doing it twice. Yeah, some hole #17s will be easier birdies than others, but that's why you might do it twice.
