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.
I always find it somewhat amusing that distance is perhaps the biggest tool used to sell golf clubs. Not necessarily for drivers where I think distance (under control) is a great idea. A driver which puts me ten yards further without altering my dispersion is never bad in my book. No, the thing that gets… Read More »Golf Club Distances: How Far Should You Hit It?
I have played with all sorts of shafts in my irons. For example, I currently have a set of project x 6.5 steel shafts. I have also played lightweight 70g graphite shafts. I have in fact, run pretty much the entire range of weights from 70g to 130g or more and from what might be… Read More »Steel Fiber Shafts: the Perfect Blend?
This could, potentially, be the shortest article I have ever written. If 42 is the answer to Life the Universe and Everything, then surely 14 is the answer to the question “How many golf clubs in a bag?” I mean, it is written in the rules of golf and everything! Actually, this article might not… Read More »How Many Golf Clubs in a Bag?
Golfers tend to worry about dispersion quite a bit. We spend time curing that slice or panic when we pull a short iron five yards left. In my experience, left to right dispersion is actually far less important in most situations compared to front to back differences. This makes things a little bit tricky because… Read More »Creating a Printable Golf Club Distance Chart
As is the case for many people, the golf bag tends to become, over time, the equivalent of the back of the sofa. If you dig around a little bit, you never know what you will find. This might be anything from that commemorative pitch mark repairer you won to a half-eaten cereal bar that… Read More »The Joys of a Small Golf Bag
I have written a few articles recently about the golf swing. My thinking was to maybe find a few tips that could both make practice more interesting and perhaps help people fix their own swings. I am always a bit hesitant to do this because I not a PGA pro, not a golf instructor and… Read More »Golf Swing Basics: What Are They?
I don’t think many of the people who know me would consider me either an artist or even particularly a fan of art at all. To some extent, I would agree with them but this isn’t completely true. I do have an area where my centres of interest (like golf) and my artist side actually… Read More »Golf Art
I have written a huge amount about one length irons and, as a point of difference from most of what you can read on the net, it is from my personal experience. I thought it might be useful to create a Frequently Asked Questions section where those who are looking for an answer to a… Read More »One Length Irons: FAQ
I recently wrote about my preference for a smaller golf bag and talked through my 4 golf bag set up (not as ridiculous as it sounds, I promise!) I also mentioned that I still don’t feel like I have found the perfect bag. As a golfing minimalist much of the time, I feel like I… Read More »The Perfect Minimalist Golf Bag
There is an inevitable link between half sets of golf clubs and beginners. I would guess that every seasoned golfer out there at one point had either a boxed half set or something cobbled together from hand-me-downs or pro shop left overs. Mismatched irons, wooden woods and rusty putters were the norm in most junior… Read More »Half Sets of Golf Clubs
