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.

Putting is something of a touchy subject as far as my own golf game goes. It is, happily enough, trending towards “slightly less horrible” but I feel like I am never that far from disaster. I have tried all sorts of things in an effort to improve and some of them have even worked. This… Read More »Choosing Putter Length by Height?
I played an evening round with a few friends last night and as always it was an enjoyable few hours. We played in one of the most enjoyable formats that I know, a scramble matchplay.
