Regardless of whether you watch golf on TV, spend all your time at the course, or love hanging around the golf shop, the chances of seeing a steel shafted driver are essentially zero. Twenty years ago, there were still plenty kicking about on tour and certainly in the bags of many average golfers, but today… Read More »Playing with a Steel Driver Shaft
Hitting the ball further is an easy win in terms of playing better golf. Nobody would argue that another 50 yards of the tee would hurt your game. However, a lot of us aren’t really sure just where we are in terms of clubhead speed. We see the numbers from Rory McIlroy or Dustin Johnson… Read More »What is Average Golfer Swing Speed?
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?

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
