Sometimes you just can’t I just can’t help myself but make comparisons that don’t necessarily ride with the crowd.
I don’t know about you, but for some reason peculiar things often jump into my head and I try to make sense of them by using comparisons to every day things, and more often than not with my golf game.
In fact the ...

Looked at in the whole, golf is a lifestyle as much as it ever is a sport, the same goes for blogging. Blogs/Blogosphere are to Writers what Golf Clubs/Country Clubs are to Golfers, just places to hang out, socialise and show-off how well they use the respective tools of their trade. There are a lot of other comparisons too, enough ...

You’ve got to love the first long weekend bank holiday of the year. It signals the start of the best time of year to be outside and playing golf, or even just being outside for that matter.
After months of being cooped up inside like battery ’sapiens we can get out and start to enjoy the fresh air, without getting ice burns on ...

OK, so we started the Drive for DOH! series with an introduction to some basic concepts of how to keep your esteem intact on the first tee of the day.
This is the second article in the series where we will be exploring the mindset of the approach to getting that first nerve-ridden swing into play. This is something that affects ...

You can’t be married to your swing, or your grip, or your equipment.
As you age and also evolve over time you need to leave your old mistress and find a new one that fits with where you are today as a Golfer.
You can’t stay true to your thoughts on how to approach to the game, how to best manage a ...

I modelled this article from that age old saying: Daylight Robbery. I don’t think any other sport suffers from it quite so much as Golf does. So, I thought that whilst we can stick two fingers up at father time, I’d write this article at the best end of the year.
I am purposely writing this article on the weekend before ...

I’ve been looking forward to writing this post ever since the incident last Saturday at Bromsgrove Golf Centre where we played our first competition of the year.
Somehow I am going to have to try and capture the absolutely magical inadvertence of this tip, by trying to describe just how innocently it was given, but how powerfully it was taken on board. I’ll try ...

Your average 40-something guy doesn’t get the chance to show off his fashion cred’ too often. Hell, most of us haven’t had too much that we’d want to show off in a while. But all that look-at-me-’bility can come back in your reborn life as a Country-clubber.
I made an interesting observation recently whilst playing a round at my  local Municipal. ...

When you use a Golf Course or Country Club, there are certain aspects that we all need to comply with. This isn’t rules for rules sake, it’s golf’s way of showing you how to conduct yourself in real life.
This is an article for absolute beginners, but possibly of value to those who are more experienced in club life but who ...

FORE LEFT!
Have you ever been hit with a ball? Have you ever hit anyone with a ball? It happened to me once, but I’ve seen it many times and I just wonder how nobody has been killed, or maybe they have?
This is a post about not just thinking of others, but staying patient, but also watching out for others so ...

If like me you think that the golf ball Fairy is going to steal all of your balls if you leave them in the garage while you play, then like me you may have far too many balls in your sack.
This is something that I only noticed I was doing just lately, why I do it I’m not sure, but ...

Golf Purist or Golf Pragmatist

Which one describes you? I know which one describes me but I’m not going write it outloud, you’ll guess for yourself by the time you get to the bottom of the post.
In trying to decipher if I’m a pragmatist, and pursuant to us collectively trying to determine if technology of this type is acceptable even in ...

Do you take a divot when you hit a shot into the green? You should, but it’s one of the most difficult things in golf to master.
You will find that in most ball sports there is always a shot, or a pass, or a manoeuvre that requires you to spin the ball in some way. This is no different whether your ball ...

‘Drive for Show and Putt for Dough’ is a famous saying in the golf world, but how do you get off the first tee with your esteem in tact when playing in a society?
I can get a little anxious prior to my first tee shot of the day, even though I know I’m a relatively capable golfer. Relative in terms ...

You’ve been there when the group of grump-meisters behind you are getting impatient and starting to encroach on your personal golf space. Maybe you’re playing with your son who has just started the game, or with your grandfather who plays off 42 in reality? It doesn’t really matter, the problem is not you it’s them.
A post about the ignoramus buffoons who are ...
