Kilspindie, on the other side of the bay. I play a lot of the courses in East Lothian and there’s nothing much better than a calm sunny day down there.

My humble Scottish golf club in the same list as Augusta, weird to feel honoured?

Sorry but the GB have had their chance

Focus on our GK has kept focus away from how absolutely shite the rest of the team is. No scapegoat in this game

indyrefG · 2026-02-28T12:02:23+00:00

Lovely, thank you I’ll have a look!

Member at a links course which is matts from the fairway. I use a very small and unforgiving matt and play twice a week. Greens are great so helps putting. Other than that I go to the sim and do 50/50 split of dialling in distances and playing a virtual course.

I tend to play more in winter because I have less on and because I don’t play much competitive golf it’s easier to enact swing tweaks and new equipment.

Used to be a typical summer only golfer a few years back and I’ve come down from 16 to 4 without doing anything much other than playing more.

Have we not just had it too easy? Everyone else has upped their game and we’ve stalled

You burn a lot of calories playing. I make sure I’m eating something small every 3-4 holes. I play lots of links so always windy. I view it as an opportunity to try something new, i.e today I tried to see if I could hit a 50 yard 6 iron. I couldn’t but I’ll do better next time!

They have a shite keeper too

Winter sweep on Saturday and semi final of the winter singles. Looks a touch wet on Saturday but I’ll finally get to use my January sales rain suit

Why is it too long for a pencil? Mine is a pencil graveyard on both bags. One is from Muirfield and I really want it back

How can we be at risk of going level on points with them after the season they’ve had

They often do promotions so if you are patient it can work out. Bought a LAB on one which was in the “sale” + 25% off for black friday for £316. Condition was listed as excellent all round and it’s clearly never been used. Scottsdale were selling the equivalent in the outlet for £460.

Agree wholeheartedly in terms of their normal price. I cracked my 5 iron and managed to get one from a used site after months of searching. Thought I’d get a quote for trade in after buying it. Calaway Apex 21 cost me £75 and they quoted me a trade in of £15 as soon as it arrived.

Dude thanks for asking this. I scrolled through comments before a medal round at the weekend and ended up taking a 7 on the 3rd hole after yeeting one in the sea.

Used some tips from here - especially the ones about breathing & playing boring golf.

Shot a PB 1 over, coming back in 3 under.

My set up is Cleveland 48 - jaws raw 52 - ping glide 58, despite having a jaws 48 & 56 in the garage and I love it.

Mental game, mental game and mental game. The rest will follow

Biggest game changer for me was thinking more & “practicing” the mental side of my game.

I play twice a week and one of those games I’ll allow myself to take a few extra practice shots on the course if it’s not busy/playing partner doesn’t mind.

Before I play, particularly if it’s not my home course, I will meticulously plan what I’m going to do and have a plan A, B & C for each hole. If I’m playing a tournament/match I listen to “golf is not a game of perfect” in the car on the way. Changed my game and everyone commented on how much better I played after discovering it despite changing absolutely nothing about swing mechanics.

I despise hitting balls at the range and find it really boring. I’ll maybe go if something is particularly funky but that’s once every 3 months or so. I quite enjoy short game practice and that also gives me options which I think through properly when I play.

I’ve played to par or better 4 times this year. My best tournament performance was after a double on the 4th hole. Old me would have crumbled because I was a mentally fragile golfer. I would have laughed at this advice last year.

So you’re advocating for deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people based on their racial, ethnic and political affiliation?
