Everything about golf equipment from clubs to bags and balls
I have tried some ‘interesting’ stuff with my golf equipment over the years. Three wood shaft in the driver? Check. 30 grams of lead tape on my seven iron? Playing with four chippers?

Golf is full of controversies. The whole blades vs cavity backs debate, for example. Or what about belly putters? Single length irons, anyone? People tend to have strong opinions on things. Unfortunately, a lot of these opinions aren’t really based on much, certainly not on any actual facts! I have lots of golf opinions. One… Read More »Should We all be Using a Chipper?

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!
