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.
It seems that I currently have an attraction to controversial topics. Minimalist golf, blades and single length irons are all particular favourites. If there is one thing that is destined to set the golfing internet on fire, it is swing theory. Generally, I don’t worry about this too much, but a recent video from the… Read More »Time for Another Look at Stack and Tilt?
Are single length irons a good idea? Yes, thanks for reading, goodnight. OK, you probably want a little more than this, but given that I have written a lot about single length irons and my personal experience with them over several sets and the best part of a decade (for example here, here and here… Read More »Are Single Length Irons a Good Idea?
I friend at work asked me recently about getting his son started playing golf. As a non-golfer, it isn’t always obvious knowing how to get yourself or someone else into the game. I explained to him that a lot of clubs over here do what they call golf schools and organise regular sessions for kids… Read More »What is the Easiest Golf Club to Hit for Beginners?
I have written quite a bit about minimalist golf in its various forms. Each time, I feel like I have said what I wanted to say and will probably move on to something else. And then I realise from talking to other golfers and thinking more and about things that there is always more to… Read More »Can You Play Golf with Less Clubs?
Depending on where you are in the world, you might be in the same boat as me. The weather is still hot but the rain is showing its face. In another month or two, humid conditions are going to be the norm. While I certainly don’t mind this, it does present a practical problem or… Read More »How to Dry Out Golf Grips
Most golfers will hit a fat or thin shot or two every round. A lot of us will probably slip a hook or fade in there at some point too. While none of this is good and won’t exactly leave us smiling, rarely does it have the same effect as one other type of shot.… Read More »Is Shanking the Worst Shot in Golf?
If you are halfway serious about getting better at golf, you are going to be putting in some sort of effort on practising. It isn’t realistic to simply turn up at the weekend and expect to see constant progress. There are plenty of choices of things to work on whether it is putting, the short… Read More »Why I (Usually) Don’t Use Golf Practice Mats
Drive for show, putt for dough is one of the most common golf sayings. Its meaning is quite simple. The idea is that although hitting driver off the tee is something people will see you doing and bombing a long drive certainly looks good and feels good, we really make or break our score on… Read More »Drive For Show, Putt for Dough…..or Not?
It is every golfers dream. Standing on the tee and seeing that tee shot land and start to roll towards the cup. Maybe throwing the club into the air or jumping into your caddie’s/playing partner’s arms as the ball drops. As someone who has played a lot of golf over the years, it feels like… Read More »What Are the Odds of a Hole in One?
My current golf club collection is a far cry from what it was a few years ago. I think, at one point, I had 8 iron sets alone in rotation! This wasn’t clubs that were just gathering dust in a corner either. I was basically alternating sets from one round to the next. Given that… Read More »Building a Back Up Golf Bag
