I know this thread might seem strangely random, but we've been having some thunderstorms lately and I wanted to go and play. Just wondering what you're supposed to do? Just drop your clubs and step away from them, or grab them and run inside or something? Always best to be prepared imo Has it ever happened to anyone here, or do they know of it happening?

What if you're playing a round of golf and it stards raining with thunder and lightning? Surely carrying around metal golf clubs isn't safe?

thanks the problem with that though is just a dunlop tp13 bag is £32 ($50) the golf set for £100 is 65i so I think the clubs are the same as the 65i Iron set

thanks. so do you think I should go for the Dunlop irons, or buy a Dunlop set? or just buy 7-9 irons maybe?

I don't believe it. I put a bet on Westwood to win it on day 2, and on sunday when he was 3 (I don't know what you call it, 3 shots?) ahead of second place, I thought it was a guarantee for sure :(

thanks everyone! I forgot to mention I currently have a Dunlop (TP12) PW, SW, Driver and Putter. I have literally just started and only play pitch and putt, and practice at the range (usually just the PW) I don't know where the 32.1 HCP came from, I thought I set it to 999 They seem to be okay but I think I need some irons to practice with as well at the driving range, or even using 7-9 on the pitch and putt course. I was also thinking maybe I should just go for a Dunlop set (£100) which would include everything and a bag too? thanks again everyone

Can anyone tell me why it is that sometimes, a player will hit it onto the green, then place a marker and pick up their ball so the other guy can take a shot However, sometimes they hit it to the green, then take their next shot straight away, and the other guy goes after?

I tried that. It just sprayed sand all over the green

Just between these few Dunlop 65i Shaft - Graphite 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,PW,SW £60 ($90) MD Golf Surefire X3 Shaft - Steel Large Sweet Spot for Maximum Forgiveness 5,6,7,8,9,PW,SW £65 ($100) Go TP1 5,6,7,8,9,PW,SW Shaft - Steel £65 ($100) As I'm a beginner, should I go with the Dunlop set just for the extra 3 and 4 irons?

went to play today. 80 balls on the driving range to practice and then pitch and putt, really enjoyed it. found the driver so difficult to hit though, but did well with the PW and was quite consistent. wish I had bought some irons so I could practice hitting some balls a bit further than with my PW. also, once on the actual pitch and putt course, I found it much more difficult to hit it properly. I don't know if it was the weather or just the difference in grass length/texture compared to the range. funnily enough I hit it straight into the bunker on the first shot, and after 4-5 attempts I just couldn't get it out with the SW, so me and my friend (as we're both beginners) just agreed I could put it back on the green next to the bunker

no worries :) always good to have extra info/opinions I went ahead and ordered anyway Got a PW, SW, Putter and I actually went with a Driver instead of a 3 or 5 wood decided that I can then just buy a set if irons after

hi thanks for the reply this is a "par 3 course with holes varying from 77 to 118 yards" last time I played I used a friend's 7I I think, but if I got good contact it went way too far, although I was hitting it quite weak to focus on actually hitting the thing lol. the guy I will be playing with soon is left handed though so I won't be able to use his clubs how about these? Dunlop Tour Graphite Iron (SW) Dunlop Tour TP12 Graphite Iron (PW) Dunlop Tour TP12 Steel Wood (3) Dunlop TP12 Putter then, if I decide to continue playing and aim to play on the proper course I can get a set of irons? Thanks again

Thanks. The used ones I've seen are all collection only and far away, but I could get the following for £30 ($45) new in total tomorrow Dunlop Tour Graphite Iron (8) Dunlop Tour Graphite Iron (SW) (do I need this?) Dunlop Tour TP12 Graphite Iron (PW) Dunlop Tour TP12 Steel Wood (5) (or 3-wood if you would recommend it) Dunlop TP12 Putter Would they be decent starting clubs for pitch and putt (and the 3/5-wood for the driving range to practice long(ish) shots)? Right now I'm not even considering playing on a full course, I just want to go out to the range and play pitch and putt while we have some nice weather over here and I'm off work, which is why I don't really want to invest in a full set. I can't guarantee that I will take up the sport forever, but I know I will play enough to warrant buying some clubs instead of renting them. I mean, could I get by on pitch and putt without even getting an 8-Iron or SW? and then I could go on to buy a set if irons if I want to play on a full course I was actually struggling to decide between the 3 and 5-wood because I've used my friend's driver before and found it so difficult to use, I thought the 3-wood may be similar, and the 5-wood is a better choice for a beginner. Thanks again

hi everyone I'm going to start playing golf soon, and at first I will just be hitting the driving range and playing pitch and putt to get used to it. I played once before with someone else's clubs and enjoyed it. now I am going to go quite regularly with another friend, and on my own as well, but neither of us have clubs. I was thinking about getting a 5-wood (also, is a 5-wood the same as a 5-iron?), an 8 or 9-iron (or both), a sand wedge and a putter. I could pick them up quite cheap brand new. I'm not too bothered about the brands right now. will this be enough for a pitch and putt, and the 5-wood for the driving range? I tried a driver before and could hardly hit the ball straight could I get by without a sandwedge and just use a 9-iron? so it would be 5-wood (or 3-wood if you guys recommend it) 8-iron or 9-iron sandwedge (if needed, could get an 8-iron and 9-iron instead) putter would you guys recommend getting anything else for a start? thanks
