cushynumber 25,178 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 just back from hols and went up to the practice range - came home and about to head up for 18. I felt like I hadnt held a club in ages and it was only 2 weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Anyone played the taylormade tp5x ball? I am usually a prov1x man but hearing great things about this ball and tempted to give it a try and see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that the callaway and srixon balls are good but feels there is something about the taylormade ball. Might buy a sleeve and see what I think.

Its strange, I love the z star x for putting and chipping, but prefer the prov1x off the tee and longer shots. Bet all these balls are exactly the same and the manufacturing companies have a great laugh at clowns like me thinking one is better than the other in certain areas. hammer93 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to play in loads, I've got two mates who played with Scotland, they are quality so you have got a wee chance. Always going to get a team though with a 10 handicapper, who used to play off 1 (Wait, that's me ) LiviGer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can just get this hip lift thing sorted I know I will be back down to 5 or 6 in no time. Playing this scramble on Sunday with my two mates who played for Scotland, me and my mate who plays off 13. He is off 13 but only ever plays 3 or 4 medals a year because he travels with work. My guess would be he should be off around 7 lol. He hits the ball further than any of the other 3. The shark fins are out!! LiviGer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They run it on the Sunday before fair Monday as a social thing, 9am shotgun start. £10 a head and you get a 1 course meal afterwards with tea/coffee etc. A lot of the time it falls on Open Sunday, so the clubhouse stays full with people drinking n watching the last day of the golf.
