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.
My golf swing has never really had a huge movement off the ball and back, but I have noticed over the last year or two that I don’t always stay as far on top of the ball s I would like, especially towards the end of a round when I am a bit tired. I… Read More »How to Stop Sway in the Golf Swing
Out of all the different places you can find your ball on the course, I find downhill lies in golf to be amongst the most annoying. Playing with my feet above or below the ball can be tricky and I have hit my fair share of horror shots from this sort of position. However, I… Read More »Downhill Lies in Golf
Hitting out of the rough isn’t the same as finding yourself in a fairway bunker but it isn’t quite the same as that perfect lie in the middle of the fairway either. This can affect everything from club choice to the type of shot you should try to hit. Here are a few things to… Read More »Hitting out of the Rough
There are undoubtedly a lot of frustrating parts to getting older. As far as golf is concerned, the big one is loss of distance. That 7 iron becomes a six then a five and probably a hybrid.

As a golfer, I am always surprised by the image non-golfers have of the sport. Boring, old-man’s game, upper-class and so on. I understand perfectly why these images exist, it is just that they don’t fit with 99% of what goes on in golf today. One of the most wrong, I would say, is that… Read More »The Funniest Golfers in the Game
If you are looking to take the plunge into the world of single length irons, well done. It isn’t the only way to play the game by any means, but as someone who has had a few one length sets over the years, it is one of the simplest. Every iron being the same, from… Read More »How Long to Make Single Length Irons?
Whilst many of us don’t think too much about the finer details of green-keeping, it is actually a complex subject. The quality of course that we play and the enjoyment we get out of playing them is closely linked to their upkeep. In fact, some of the most important aspects of golf course quality are… Read More »Bentgrass vs Bermuda
My current wedge set is somewhat particular. I have a 46 degree Titleist instead of my set pitching wedge for the versatility it provides. My gap wedge has become a chipper for reasons I highlighted in this article. I have gone into exactly why i currently have ‘just’ a 56 sandwedge rather than a lob… Read More »The 54-degree Wedge:Covering All Your Bases
When I was young and starting playing golf, I didn’t really think about handicap. In fact, I am not even sure if that meant anything to me at all. I took a few lessons from the local pro with the other kids. I watched Seve, Faldo and the rest on TV. I didn’t play in… Read More »Plus Handicap Golfers:Golfing Untouchables?
The highest lofted club currently in my bag is a Cleveland 56 sandwedge. I have had a more lofted option in my bag, most recently a 60 degree callaway PM grind that was a great club. However, I made a conscious decision to play with less loft. Why did I do this? Simply because I… Read More »Lob Wedge Lofts: How Much is Too Much?
