Angus_Young Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Are there no courses open near you? Naw it's not that mate, I had to pack in the membership last year. Too much on. Family, work etc. I need to make do with work medals which are only once a month. Wee one has started nursery now so should manage more midweek bounce games this season.

It's all about priorities. Before long the wee one will be out on the course with you. Before you know where you are he/she will be beating you off scratch and having to give their auld man shots. Get them started early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Haha aye exactly mate. Tbh I didn't want to get 3 or 4 years down the line regretting not doing stuff with her. As you say priorities. Like I say though, nursery should help and have sacked the second job too now. I have her earmarked for the Olympics, as a gymnast, but I suppose golf wouldn't be the worst thing either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girvanTA Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Im still playing with my Dunlop putter, my dad "borrowed" my mizuno one about 7 years ago. Need to upgrade my 3 and 5 woods, any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Im still playing with my Dunlop putter, my dad "borrowed" my mizuno one about 7 years ago. Need to upgrade my 3 and 5 woods, any suggestions? I personally prefer taylormade,but it's all about what you're comfortable with. Is there a range nearby,where you can try various ones? I would say try a hybrid as opposed to a 5 wood,but again it's a personal choice. And if you do get a chance to try various ones out,unless you really need them,keep a note of them and go online to buy them or even try for used ones. Always much cheaper than pro shops tend to be.

Angus_Young Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) I still use a two-ball putter I got when they first came out. Must be about 11 or 12 years ago? Irons are titleist 690. Again they will be about 10 years old. Paid £90 for them on eBay. Just got them regripped. Edited January 30, 2016 by Angus_Young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 ...and you'll be a damn sight better putter than me. It's been regripped about 3 times and had 2 new shafts and............... There is only one reason why a golfer keeps changing their putter, and it's got nothing to do with the lump of metal in their hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girvanTA Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 There is a range close by but a poor selection of clubs if anything. Ayr is about the closest (25 miles) Never played a hybrid, but would like to try. Got a srixon z 745 driver, callaway warbird 3 and 5 wood but never really got on with them Irons are nike vr All bought from ebay Putter is a Dunlop, bringing that badboy out is like bringing a knife to a gunfight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMcoolJ Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Managing to negotiate the M1 for my birthday. Going to range today to figure out which shaft. However, just got back from Abu Dhabi last week (anyone played there?) and was hitting my SLDR really well for the first time! Went to the Euro Tour event for a couple of days and followed Richie Ramsey. Top bloke. Did pretty well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, my mate works for BA on long-haul, and has become quite pally with Richie. Echoes your sentiments - cracking lad. Just off to American Golf for the last day of the sales!

ByronLoon1986 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Went on a golfing activities week with Richie in 1999 I think. He was in 4th year when I was in 2nd year. Great lad and good laugh. Never looked down on anybody.. He even stopped for a yap at Castle Stewart a couple of years ago during his practice round He played off 4 when he was 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcoolJ Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 So Richie must have half of BA following him at the moment! Two pilots, one of them the lad I described above, follow Richie a lot and are pretty matey with him now. We met them walking round the Abu Dhabi National following Richie - good lads.
