I have been a keen golfer for over three decades. Over that time, I have tried almost everything on the market in terms of equipment. I am particularly interested in single length irons and minimalist golf and would consider myself an expert on both.
The driver, along with the putter, can be the most divisive club in the bag. Some golfers love it and can’t wait to get it out of the bag. Others will do anything to avoid it. Many of us will move from one category to another other their golfing lifetime. This is the case for… Read More »Picking a Golf Driver Replacement
Grip is, as I have said previously, one of the fundamentals of a sound golf swing. There are a range of possible grips, all of which can be effective. One question that often comes up is strong vs weak golf grip. What is the difference, which one should you adopt and ultimately, does it make… Read More »Strong vs Weak Golf Grip: Which is Best?
There are lots of things that we say to each other as golfers out on the course. If you aren’t a regular golfer, a lot of these might not mean too much to you.However, you might also be surprised to see that a few of these golf sayings have made their way into everyday speech.… Read More »Famous Golf Sayings

I will generally say ‘he’ or even talk about things which might be of more interest to male golfers (distance, shaft choices etc) There is certainly no deliberate male bias here and I believe that almost… Read More »Beginning Golf for Women
I don’t want this to become yet another article about my putting woes but suffice to say, I have had my ups and downs on the greens over recent years.
