    R&A website is probably your best bet? Their site has context led scenarios and I think they also have a rules app. Usually most clubs receive a large stash of mini rulebooks which they give away, handy to get one of these if you can as it's much better having everything in one place rather...

    What a difference a week makes..last Sat 1st in my division, mad 40+ mph winds and beat my handicap. This week, completely perfect conditions for golf, hardly a breath of wind and lovely sunshine, 22pts from 18 holes, an absolute horror show :) Will reset for next time

    Tough day out there today weather-wise but played some really good stuff. Stableford off the white tees and 4x winter greens today. Was +2 for the front 9, steady run of pars and bogeyed the two hardest holes in blustery conditions. Weather turned really nasty on the back 9, winds 40mph+ and...

    Get a card box and put it a few cm in front of your ball (i.e. perpendicular to your target line) If you hit the box then you're likely going over the top. If you don't hit the box then your swing path is neutral or coming from the inside. When I was getting lessons last year I was coming in...

    Yeah, it was good - I've had a few fittings before and I'm a total geek when it comes to all the tech and numbers etc. First time at Scottsdale and I liked their setup and the guys were all sound. Straight off the bat the driver (stealth) was performing as expected and he said it would be...

    18 holes today, fairly solid. On full greens and fairly bumpy so there were a few daft putts missed, hopefully they'll be better next weekend. Bit of a mixed bag overall but good off the tee and hit plenty of GIR. Got a driver + fairway appointment at Scottsdale tomorrow which will be...

    Yep us lanky folk tend to have quite large wingspans / ape index as well as long legs so standard length may not be as uncommon as you'd think

    Could be if your swing has changed so that your hands want to be at a slightly lower position at impact now, e.g. if your posture has improved or you are opening your hips properly at impact rather than trying to stand up I'm about 6'3 and +1 inch always seemed a bit much for me over the years...

    So err, What’s Happened to the Princess of Wales?

    A lot of the current phones have an ai assist / "best take" function where it'll merge a few shots into one, maybe that's the explanation? I'm sure I read it was Wills who took the photo.

    5H definitely the way forward, mid handicap guy I play with has one in the bag and it's like a cheat code for him, so versatile in different lies and off the tee. He even does knock down shots with it on some par 3s choking down the club and taking the yards and spin off and it still holds on to...

    Yeah totally, my best rounds below 80 were all with Chrome softs or Taylormade tour response balls, I just seem to get on really consistently well with them with my irons. Used to love the Snell MTB black ball as well but I wasn't impressed with it's replacement. I like the Vice pro ball as...

    I felt Cookies and cream on its own had a really strong artificial sweetness, I actually quite enjoyed it by doing 1 scoop cookies and cream, with either 1 scoop salted caramel or vanilla

    *** Big Fat Weight Loss Thread ***

    Thank you very much. Yeah things will be very different when I'm back at work in a few weeks so I'll need to take a more balanced approach to it rather than staying "all in". I think if I can get to 85-86 I'll try to stick to around that for a while, will see what happens though!

    It felt like I haven't holed a single putt all winter (despite our greens being not too bad over the last few months) so I reverted my putting grip back to standard (had previously putted left hand low for about the last 6 years) and the last few weeks have been a birdie bonanza, holing...

    *** Big Fat Weight Loss Thread ***

    It's been about a month since I last posted, I'm 44 and 192cm. I was 99.4kg at the beginning of Dec and now down to 86.9kg which is slightly lower than my pre-pandemic weight. I'm not working currently so this process has been at the absolute forefront of my headspace / mental focus for the...

    Hey jaybee don't let it dishearten you, I'd suggest book in for another round sometime and as an experiment pick up a cheap winter fairway mat from Amazon or the pro shop. (We have to use these at our course by default in winter so they're fairly common) Then when you're out on the course, use...

    Out today paradym testing, had the course to myself it was a lovely afternoon. Had a couple of nice birdies including an absolute worldie from a fairway bunker to 6 inches - it's always the case when no-one is around to see! Anyway, paradym standard everything stock shaft, distance was as...
