I bought a 5 wood from affordablegolf last week.

The best I can say is that they refunded me immediately when the club was lost in the post.

That sucks but at least you got your money back.

I had a few too many drinks last night and spent £435 at affordablegolf!!

My driver is a 15year old R7, I hate it. Treated myelf to a Callaway Rogue 2020! Down to £270 from £450......

Vokeys are great wedges!

I played terrible today, just didn't enjoy my round at all.

How the hell can you go from hitting fantastic shops and stringing good scores/rounds together one minute, to completely forgetting how to swing a club and then second guessing your own grip!

God dammit golf

I've got past the stage of doubting my grip for me it's it's huge doubt about my backswing and as soon as I have a bad shot I tear myself apart like a shark on bloody meat and make a mess of my round

Yeh I totally understand.I hate golf so much.

Can't wait for my next round

Just had my worst round for months, for absolutely no reason I couldn't sort my alignment.

If I'm teeing off down a straight fairway I'm fine, but if the teebox isn't parallel to the fairway (such as the fairway starts to bend/dog leg so I need to aim 'off') my brain has an absolute meltdown. Even picking a target a couple feet Infront of my ball didn't seem to help.

......stormed off on the 10th :rolleyes:

Sounds like a mental game there, I drop down to a 4/5 iron in those situations and play it safe.

That is the best video I've ever seen for Golf tips. I am 100% one of those body aiming right/club aiming at target people!

100 yards and in is where 90% of my practice goes.

I spend as much time putting as I do on the range.

Think I'm going to book a putting lesson with the Pro. Get myself a routine I can keep replicating.

Any of you guys getting the new PGA Tour 2k21 game?

Andr3w · 8 Oct 2020 at 12:28

What type of jackets/outer wear do you guys wear in winter? I only really have one jacket and it feels quite bulky and almost restricts my swing, I don’t like to play in it.

I need something warm/wind proof/showerproof and yet isn’t restrictive! Does such thing exist?

I wear a baselayer, tshirt and gilet in the winter, I cant have jackets as they feel too restrictive plus if the weather is that bad, Im not going out.

Yeh I've tried this and I'm absolutely bloody freezing

!

I don't mind playing when it's cold/frosty! I'll also play in rain (not storm) and wind! I'll generally avoid if it's wind AND rain!

7 years ago to the day that I started this thread! I got down to a 10.4 hcap a few years ago. I haven't swung a golf club for nearly 3 years due to work/life/busy family.
