played on thursday, on the 4th green when a 4 ball decided that they were going to start on the 5th hole! they could clearly see us finishing up on the 4th green but decided to go ahead and tee off anyway. so f'ing annoying! we confronted them at the first chance and funnily enough claimed to not see us on the green and thought nobody was coming up behind..yea really.

I personally have never heard of the brand, but im in the UK so maybe its an american brand. If you are just starting out they seem ideal, very cheap and have all the clubs you will need. If you enjoy the game and want to upgrade you can do it piece by piece. I would go for it as spending hefty amounts of money on something you are new to might not be the best idea! golf is an expensive hobby so this set seems a good place to start.

Im in the UK and these are the balls i use too, i get them for £7.50 a dozen at a sports shop over here. Great ball

i honestly have no idea.......i dont have a gps either. i play the same course every week so i know what club i need to hit from most parts of the course. sometimes im long or short but i go with my judgement and get it right a surprisingly high percentage of the time.

http://www.americangolf.co.uk/product/Wilson-Staff-Golf-Ci11-Irons-4-PW-Steel/p100635.aspx they can be found a lot cheaper.

i have just bought the wilson staff DI11's, they are for high handicappers like me (28), but also in the range are the Ci11's aimed at mid-high. I tried the Ci11's but found the Di's more suitable for me, so the Ci's may suit you. They look great and can be picked up fairly cheap.

my driver never comes out of the bag cos i just cant hit it. my 5 wood is my club, 5 wood off the tee on par 4's, i can hit it loooong so im not missing out too much cos my driver goes further right than it does forward.

so if u cant break 80 you have to rush......i dont think anyone got good enough to break 80 by just "grip it and rip it" method......Iv never broken 90 but still take my time on every shot. im not excessively slow but i cant stand p****s behind who think i should rush because they are better than me.

Rory Mcilroy, Ian Poulter, Keegan Bradley, Louis Oosthuizen, Rory Sabbatini......Dont know why i just really dont like any of them. iv never met them of course but Poulter is an Arsenal fan, thats enough for me.......

maybe, just maybe he was speaking hypothetically and isnt actually expecting a call from Mr Furyk......

thanks for the advice......fitting it is then

I play with the same group every week, we are all close friends. 3 of us tell the truth, then we have the "golf liar", none of us are very good, all shoot mid 90's on a good day, but the golf liar hacks his way up the wrong fairway, 3 putts and declares a bogey. we all watched you slice your tee shot, chip out of the trees, duff two approach shots and 3 putt...........

whats pulled from thin air?

i would give it back to Louis. I would love to play at Augusta but would need 2 days to hack my way around

The offset head has really straightened out my drive, maybe im just improving but i can on the odd occasion hit a draw with it. the slice comes in when i see my golf partner bomb the ball 300 yards and i try to take the skin off the ball to do the same and lose all control of the swing. so are stiff shafts for higher swing speeds?

what is the major difference between reg flex and stiff flex on ur driver? i have 2 drivers one of each flex, the R flex has an offset head to help with my erm "fade". but i prefer the stiff flex shaft. i have no idea what my swing speed is so do u think it would be worthwile having the stiff flex shaft pulled and fitted to my offset driver head???

Today, 147 yard par 3...into the wind slightly, hit 8 iron to 4 INCHES!!! yes inches!!!

ojus found he member swings thread :-)

You all bring out some good points, and perhaps it is just a little tweaking that i need. If i were to video my swing can it be uploaded here for people to look at?

No I mean Srixon Distance, they are a ball in their own right. They are cheap and cheerful but not a bad ball for my game. Give the Soft feel balls a try they are v.good

Just wanted to see how many people are in a similar situation to me...basically i started playing golf about a year ago, nobody actually taught me how to hold the club, how to swing, club selection etc, i just picked up a right handed golf club (im left handed) and started trying to hit balls! i loved the game instantly and if it wasnt for my job id be playing a hell of a lot more than i do. so i started watching the PGA tour on tv and reading magazines to show me how to play. A year on and my best round is +23 on quite a long, challenging course. The dilema i have now is do i get lessons and have somebody tell me my swing is fundamentally wrong and try to change it and start from scratch? or stick to my "homegrown swing?" It would be interesting to see how people learned to play!

Lee was definitely the best player tee to green, by a country mile. He burned the hole with so many putts, but unfortunately missed some ridiculous putts too that cost him in the end. If he had putted like louis did yesterday on staurday and sunday he would have won by 4 or 5 shots!

i like the Srixon distance balls in the winter because i seem to get more carry and can stop them on the wet greens quite well, when its hot and the greens get rock hard i like the Srixon soft feel balls or the Nike PD soft. my long game leaves a lot to be desired lol so im chipping onto most greens and find both the srixon and nike balls really good. When i first started playing i thought "a golf ball is a golf ball" but obviously thats not the case and it took me a good while to find my preferred ball.

yesterday, 400 yard par 4 dogleg left to right. everytime i try to go over the trees i clip the top and end up hacking out, so i hit 5 iron off the tee, slight draw perfectly round the corner, leaving about 190 downhill to the green. 5 iron again, pitched just short and ran up to about 3.5 feet, made the putt. im a 28 handicapper, i avg 6 on this hole so for me this was awesome. i birdied the next hole as well and shot my best round of 23 over.
