The points the guy makes are good.

Fuck 'em and as soon as I heard McDowell i thought fuck 'em even more, the wee mid Atlantic accented poof.

Mon the PGA.

Finau coming from nowhere, JT up there again and Fitzpatrick and Mcilroy still holding their own. I think if Rory could find his putter he'd be in with a shout.

Took Clark at 11s when the day started. No looking great but doable.

A need to buy a decent gap wedge, any advice on the degree?

Get 52, 56 and 60.

I've also got a 65 which incidentally, i hit 65 yards and use it to flop over green side bunkers.

Had a shot of a 62 off a boy a play with but it's far too lofted, a get it about 25 yards on a good swing 😂

Am thinking 56 to begin with. Short games been pathetic trying to use the SW

Greater the loft the harder it is to play. Aye 56 will get you good results until you bring your handicap down. Get lessons on all your clubs mate and it'll pay dividends.

Av got a guys number for lessons but no commited to it yet. Ma swing wasn't consistent enough to even turn up for him to correct it. Starting to get there tho so I'll be going down that avenue. 

Putting has became an issue too, changed ma grip to lack handed on the advice of Rick shields to keep the body posture n position more sturdy and it has worked within 5 feet but am 3 putting like fuck. Duffing long ones/firing 15 footers 10 foot by the pin etc 😂

[geneva_ger 9,375]

Go for the lessons and the best time is right at the beginning. I like Rick's videos but he's not taking the putts, that's the part of the game you just have to read yourself.

Drivers and Irons blasting 150 - 250+ yards needs good set-up and technique but putting up to 30 needs a good eye and pace control and even if you are taught set-up it's still down to you on the day. Difficult as fuck but as a beginner just go for the bin lid area and give yourself a 3 footer.

Get a 52 and a 56. 56 is the same as a sandwedge. I have vokey wedges but they are old now. Cleveland used to make good wedges but I've been out the game a few years so no idea on technology these days

Can actually get a really good 3 wedge package from Costco. Kirkland wedges (think I heard cobra actually make them).

£130 for the 3 when you can pay that for one traditionally branded wedge these days.

Only issue is they are completely stock, so no custom fit.

For someone taking the game up, tend to focus on the longer clubs to get more forgiving hybrid clubs, using 2 wedges gives more flexibility up top with clubs. I would suggest going for standard PW, 52 deg and perhaps a 58 deg. I tend to feel getting to wedge range is the most difficult thing so try and make it easier for yourself with longer clubs and choice

Jay Monahan talking about the LIV cunts just now and not holding back.

The media scum asking about a fan letter about the US liv players betraying the victims of 9/11. What the actual fuck.

Just got a Costco card recently and been looking at these. Gonna give them a bash. Sick of paying for pro v1's.

[Malkytfp1 18,617]

Finally broke 90. Shot 89 at Langlands today which for me is a major achievement. Took 3 of the t twice on the back 9 as well so coulda been way better.

This is what made me go for them mate. I've got pro v1s too n actually prefer the Kirkland ones, maybe cause you're no scared to lose them 😂

Mate I've seen every rick shiels video twice and somehow never seen him review the Kirkland's. That was a good watch. Seem to spin well off short irons but less off the driver which suits me having an over the top slice. They compared well with all the prov1s. I'm sold. Think Costco do 24 for 17.99.
