Hello.

This is my own opinion,

I am a 5 handicap, when i was growing up i hated golf it was the worse thing ever invented, however when i was 16 i watched my dad play and he taught me well since then i got hooked, i went up after school to the council courses in scotland to hi the same club every day which was a 5 iron, and now 9 years later i am 5 handcp, alot people ask me how i got good i say practice all these golfers coming in today need to relax and practice i have seen people tearing up these great course but cant play, so practice first,

in regards to the wedges i have a set of nike vr blades 4-sw, i also have the taylor made r11 driver and the mizuno 3 and 5 wood, also have a grosso putter from taylormade, however they are nothing compared to the £20 wedges i bought, i bought a slazanger 56 degree, a mitsubshi 58 and 60, not matter how you hit the ball or your touch it will always produce the slazanger is a bit off sometimes but you have to open the club face, but i only use them around the greens, now and again i will use it for an approach shot of maybe 120- yards. so if people struggle go to your local jjb, golf shop, pro etc, feel the club swing it, and see how it goes,


Although now I am a 5 handicap, when I was growing up I hated golf! To me, it was the worst thing ever invented. However, when i was 16 I watched my dad play and he taught me well. Since then i got hooked! I went up after school to the council courses in Scotland to hit the same club every day (which was a 5 iron), and now 9 years later I am 5 handicap! When people ask me how I got to be good, I say "practice". All these golfers coming into the game today need to relax and practice. I have seen people tearing up these great courses but can't play properly. So it's important to practice first!

I have a set of Nike VR blades 4-sw, a Taylormade R11 driver and Mizuno 3 and 5 woods. I also have a Rossa putter from Taylormade. However they are nothing compared to the £20 wedges i bought: a Slazenger 56 degree, a Mitsubishi 58 and 60. No matter how you hit the ball or your touch, these will always produce. The Slazenger can be a bit off sometimes, but you have to open the club face up to get it to really work. I only use wedges around the greens, although now and again I will use it for an approach shot of maybe 120 yards. So if you're  struggling with your short game, go to your local jjb (golf shop, pro etc) to feel the club, swing it, and see how it goes!

    • Day 167 - 2025-03-16 Hit balls after a long day. Junior Elite and a few lessons. Meh.
    • It kinda is… and Tiger isn't super young anymore. You're missing the fact that Tiger changed the game. Golfers put far more strain and stress on their bodies now than they did fifty freaking years ago. The sport is different now. It's faster, and you have to be significantly better now to even make it to the PGA Tour let alone stay there than you did in Jack's day.
    • Well, at least it got fixed & you’ll be back nonetheless. 
    • Day 5 March 16th, 2025 Went to the range for about an hour. Worked on backswing and downswing piece. Finally got to making shorter backswings. Feeling like the swing stops when hips get to hip height. That is more of a feeling for how much the hands move, the hands get closer to A3-A3.5. 
    • Seems like Jack was pretty "old" when he won his last Masters. And Gary Player is still playing, despite being a fitness freak all his life. Years ago, Cary Middlecoff stated that Tiger was going to have back problems after he reached the age of 30, due to the body torque he used in his swing. But Tiger has also had plenty of issues with the rest of his body. And the car crash certainly didn't help. Has any golfer been as "injury prone" as Tiger?
