The best advise I got when first starting out was to get my tempo. Distance off the tee will follow providing you make a good connection with the ball. Take your time with your swing and even take a 3/4 back swing to start.

Hey Shae. Would be a good idea for you to start is to look on gumtree for a good second hand set. Heaps on there and you can get them so much cheeper.

3rd hole. 131 y , par 3. Stuck my pw about 3 f from the pin to win closest to the whole.

Keep going. Wont be long and your handicap will start to tumble. Mine has dropped 6 strokes in 4 months

Dont you just love coming home to find presents on your door step like that? I always get mine delivered to work. Cheating I know but I cant wait till I get Home.

I played a set of Lind Sniper irons which were a copy of the Callaway X18 I think. I used them for about 6 years with no complaints at all. I thought for how good I was at the time and the price I was willing to pay that they were pretty good. I have upgraded my irons to the Wilson CI11 now.

You have to play the new ones don't you? I had the same problem earlier in the year and I chose to go with the new ones. Best move for me. I ended up winning the day.

Just picked up a Cleveland 588 Satin 50/2 Wedge from Golfbox. They have their half yearly sale and I got it for $69 aus. Bloody rippa if you ask me.

Driver 3 months Wood and hybrid 10 Months Irons 6 months ( last ones I have for 6 years) Putter for about 8 years.

When you daughter comes up to you and says that she has been hooking for a couple of years and you tell her that is ok, but she should really keep her head still and that should help

When you can recount every shot you did over your last 5 games but can't remember what you had for dinner two nights ago

What more can be said?? FORE!!!!

I had my brother in-law staying with me and my family a little while back. He showed a bit of interest when I was talking about golf (self confessed golf nut I am). I took him out to the range a few times to have a hit and on one of these occasions I took my whole family (wife, daughter 10, son 7). Daughter was neither here or there. Son started getting into it. Brought him a second hand set for $50 and down the range we went. He loved it. Next time I was going to the range I said I was going to hit a few and before I could finish saying it my son was out of his set, shoes on and grabbing his clubs from the garage. I say the best way to get them into it would be keep it fun and enjoyable. Don't push them into it. If it is meant to happen then it will.

Won the finals of match play in my local club comp. Went to an extra hole. Trust me to pull my drive out of bounds. Lucky for me the guy I was against smashed his into a metal pole used for a safety net. The ball then screwed off sideways and I smashed my 3rd 250 yards up the left side to be 50 yards short. I ended up down for a 5 and up for the win.

For the last few years I have been using Srixon. I am liking the Q Star at the moment. Seem to be working for me

Good looking set of clubs. Good price. I would change the driver. 8.5 degree for beginner not a good idea.

They are both very funny. Its good to see that some golfers haven't lost their sense of humour. Wish their was a Dick Fowler PI at every course

I was just wondering if their was any one else out there that have some one that they just can't seem to beat. Over the last 15 years I must have played about 50 games against my father in-law. I am still waiting to get my first win. Many times I have come close but he always seems to find that shot that shuts me out. When I first started he played of a 13 and I was a 25. Understandable that I couldn't beat him. But as the years passed and my swing got more consistent the gap between our scores started to get smaller. The closest I every got was he won by 1 stoke. I was on the green about 25 foot from the pin for my second on a par 4. he was 10 foot off the green short. Don't know how but he chipped in for a bird and I two putted. Still haven't lived that one down. Am I alone in this or do other people have the same problem as me?

They way I normally get myself out of it is to remember that I play this for fun. If you don't have fun when you play then why play at all? Find a couple of guys you get alone with good and go and have a "Hackers" Round. Don't keep score and just have fun.

Check your grip at setup. Get some one to video your swing so that you can see if you are returning the club to square at impact. Getting some video of your swing would really help you see what you are doing. Helped me.

It would be clear to any real golfer he does not have the true spirit of the game. You owe it to all the true golfers out there to call him on in. As posted earlier, don't ask him what score he got. Tell him. If he argues then say that is not including the penalties. That should peg him back a bit.

I picked up a set of ci11's in March and have shaved 4 strokes off my handicap. I would say that they hold there own. I mean for the price you can't really go wrong. When I was in the market for a new set of irons I did a heap of research. Being left handed and living in Perth, Western Australia it is hard to find clubs in a pro shop when you only really have 2 different companied to choice from. Reading the forums an seeing what the reviewers had said about these clubs made me try them out. I hit the RBZ's the D100 and the ci11 and went with the ci11's. Both the D100 and the ci11's felt 10 time better than the rbz.

The Aussie are having a good show again. 3 in the top ten. Not to bad from the boys down under.

It's all down to really who can put 4 days of good play together. Could Jason Day have a chance?

Phil hasn't hit a driver in months but still won. Why can't Tiger?
