I replaced the shaft of my ping G410 with a stiff shaft instead of my normal regular, wow what a difference. I always had a draw that i needed to be wary of, setting the ball out right and bringing it back in.
Now i just need to aim it down the middle and there it goes.:thumbsup: After years of not realising, i'm much better with a shaft that does not have a bit of whip. :greengrin
Yeah. Graeme did my current clubs a few years ago. Actually he double checked the irons after getting fitted elsewhere and me not being certain they did a good job recommending regular shafts for the first time ever.Quote:

Random golf question...why have some pro players started wearing hoodies? They seemed wholly impractical for golf, potentially interfering with your swing or getting sopping wet if it rains. And you'd surely never actually put the hood up to play golf?
They get. Paid a **** load of money for doing so. Getting old duffers to buy sweaters and polos is easybut it’s a n ever decreasing market. There’s a whole new generation of younger players to entice to the game and the manufacturers reckon it’s the way to go for increased sales and profits.Quote:

I'm hoping to go back and play with him again with my game in slightly better working order.
After months of turgid, brutal golf I appear to finding a bit of life in my game again.
84 today, which is my best score this year after regressing like mad.
I'm all over the place. I can't find time to play enough and I feel like my initial improvement has stalled. I'm moving back in a few weeks so I'd like to play with better players to try and improve still.

Superb.
Never played Nairn. It’s on the list.Quote:

Must be good. Was actually playing with a guy from the Johnston area yesterday at Cochrane castle. He was a full member at Nairn and went up one weekend a month to play. His full membership was around £500 a year less than the courses round that part of Glasgow/ west. Spent the rest of his time playing opens.Quote:

It's a pity the Course Manager is heading to Gullane at the end of October as he'll be a huge miss.
Back from our long weekend in Dundee.
Ballumbie(think I said a different course previous) hhmm pretty poor tbh. Lots of changes due to them selling off some land navigating the course was tricky due to poor signage and nobody’s gps worked properly as nothing had been updated.
Drumoig. Really is a top class course in excellent condition the water holes are a challenge!
St Michaels. Brilliant value 11 quid each via Groupon some superb holes and a really friendly clubhouse.
Lucky enough to play Dundonald on Sunday there. Cracking links course and very friendly staff and welcoming clubhouse.
Definitely a course for keeping it in play - any further than the first cut and you'll be lucky to find a ball.
Booked it through the Golf in Scotland boys.
Loved it!!!!
Played it a handful of times including late last year. Thought last year was the best condition it’s been in. Back down there next month funnily enough for the Golf in Scotland Senior finals day.Quote:

****ing shambles from the council. Nearly every club in West Lothian has it will have one shortly. They’ll be for hire to any Tim cock and Harry. Meanwhile council swimming pools close. And I’m a golfer.,Quote:
