getting a lesson once a month or so is very sensible, just to keep you on the straight and narrow.

Guy I played with Saturday, who used to teach, asked if I minded him giving me a tip with my driver - “just widen your stance”, and bingo. Stopped the slice/block.

Just need to tweak my alignment off the tee as I ended up bombing my drives up the left. Want to get back with the big stick as bored of just hitting a 2-iron.

Its so fcuking annoying, the swing is really simple, turn your body and keep your balance, arms stay connected.

So why do we mess up...

Ps a like my 2 iron, except it has morphed into a hybrid 2
 
The best advice I ever received has been great for me. When I go to the range before playing I spend 5 minutes on long irons and woods, and spend 30/40 minutes on chipping and putting...My short game has saved my about 10 shots a round since that tip.

I'm slack if i'm honest. I never warm up or practice before a round and i've never had a lesson

And Bubba's never taken 5 to get out of a bunker. I could teach him a thing or two :))

Warming up... its obvious we should...for me in particular, the guys I regularly play with know that can probably go a few holes up until the 5th or 6th, until I have warned up!. If I don't warm up and go straight off, I need to be liberal in the use of WD40!

We use port or grappa, much more enjoyable :)

Any of you lot into the golf/masters?

my job has tv in the background and will hoy a tipple on

any tips lads and lasses?
 
My least favourite of the Majors. When they decided to call fans/supporters ....patrons, then they lost the meaning of what golf is about. Furthermore there are fewer players in the Masters than any other Major golf tournament; arrogant ****ers.

I'll watch it but if Danny Willet can win it then anyone can. So its a difficult one to predict. Personally I would like to see a resurgence of Dustin Johnson or anyone other than Jordon Speith.

One player in form is the Aussie Cameron Smith. Worth a punt but betting on golf is a lottery. Good luck

I'll dip into it. Mainly in the late evening. Scotty Scheffler winning loads recently so won't be good odds. Hoping for a British challenger. Maybe Fitzpatrick (if he's in it).

Nearly as tedious as snooker...and very bad for your back!
 
I will be glued to the masters. One of my favourite sporting events. Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffelle would be my two picks for a punt at this stage. Joaquin Niemann at a big price might be one to watch as well. E/W pays top 10 in some bookies as well so worth it thinking of that.

I've always fancied a flutter on golf but never sure how it worked.
