Good to see you’ve got into the Mizuno’s. If god played golf he’d use a Mizuno blade. Butter I have my old MP4s in steel shafts up north. No way I was selling them. I.use a mix of Pro 221 through to 225s in my set down here. Cleveland RTX wedges - much prefer them over vokeys. driver is the one club where the shaft is more important - I think than the head itself . I use a 65g tensei orange stiff and it fits my swing very well - whether I am swinging hard or slower. I have the ping G425 LST with it, and as a 3 wood. With the G430 now out for over a year you should be able to find a 425 at a reasonable price. I appreciate driver is very much an each to their own , but that combo is worth a look.
I am currently looking at being up north between 9th - 30th August. Trying to sort another stint out may or June .
Been out this afternoon. First time in a couple of weeks. This weather has the course in stunning condition. Fairways like roads mind, run and run and run. Greens in brilliant nick, not a mark on them. Hope some of you have managed to get out and the courses up north are looking good. Coming up to see an old mate in a few weeks and we are out to play Brancepeth. Havent been there in donkeys years but have some canny memories.
PGA Championship starts tomorrow. Looking forward to it, I need some nice, calm sport after yesterday Can Rory do it again? Wouldn't bet against him.
The Rory country club isnt it? I am looking forward to it. Delighted to see Rory respond to Bryson over his comments that Rory didnt talk to him in the last round. As Rory said "what did he expect?" I wouldnt put it past Rory personally. I thought his game was unreal at Augusta. This course is right up his street. If he has that level again will be hard to beat. When he is on it only Sheffler can really compete imho.
Yeah he loves the place. Will be nice to watch him play a bit more relaxed and without the commentators just talking about the Masters constantly.
Played Billingham for the 1st time today. Nice course some very good holes. Greens very good if not a little sslow.Very nice clubhouse. Well worth a visit.
Bit of an update mate. I took your advice. I wanted the Mizunos regripping so went to a place where I could hit a few driver shaft combos. I wasnt getting very far but then the pro gave me a mini driver head. The minute I setup I felt good. I hit a few and he adjusted the shaft to a stiffer one then with a bit less weight. All of a sudden my accuracy is so much better and distance is increasing with each shot. I am back soon to try the PXG mini driver which they are awaiting delivery of. He thinks it might be perfect for me. Fingers crossed. I have to say though, I am hitting my 4 iron at the minute so well. 220+ yards and 8/10 straight as an arrow. The 3 iron isnt worth being in the bag so far. So if I can get a mini driver and find another 20 or 30 yards my game will feel very different. Ditch the 3 iron. But it has to be straight.
Why is this top of the threads? Why is anyone posting about anything other that Sunderland, Wembley or Dan Ballard today. Ban incoming
Interesting to see a few lesser names at the top of the leaderboard while the big names are struggling. Good to see Luke Donald going well
That's Scottie halfway to the career grand slam. What a player, not sure my ankle could deal with his swing though
