    Best Italian Dish?

    Indeed Italian food, or the American interpretation of Italian food. The 2 have little in common. For the great food I have eaten in Italy I typically don’t have a name for it. In some cases I doubt the chef had a name for it other then mentioning the main ingredients. 2 stand out: crayfish...

    New guy from the Netherlands checking in

    Welcome here. Used to live in Bergschenhoek and played your course quite a couple of times. Hole 2 can be brutal if they bring the greens to tournament speed. Hole 12 TEE shot not a favorite either. Nice course, I enjoyed Bentwoud slightly better for a test if golf. Nice to read about your side...

    I play mine at 7.5, weight forward. Low spin, good launch and it surely is very controllable still.

    TESTED! Bridgestone Tour B Golf Balls

    May I ask your driver CHS? I believe Bridgestone sets the cut at 105mph to move from b x to brx correct? What is your course play experience with the brx? Enough stopping power on the irons into the green?

    Bombs on the LPGA

    Fellow dutchie Anne van Dam hits it a mile as well. I followed her for a round where she hardly hit driver. I assume because it put her in places where she didn’t want to be. Hitting a lot of driving irons similar distance as the other ladies with driver. But since they are so accurate with...

    Could You Go Side Saddle?

    It’s funny reading through the comments. To each his own off course. But I haven’t seen a single reason which let make traditional putting more sense as side saddling. to not want to switch I can comprehend. To Indicate that the method is inferior I can not comprehend. Certainly without having...

    Could You Go Side Saddle?

    Surely it is not illegal. All I can think of is, given there is no history of the sport. Somebody entirely new to the concept of putting. Would he place him self facing the target or have it beside him. Think of a free throw, bowling, darts.

    Could You Go Side Saddle?

    Yes absolutely. Actually to me this appears the most natural, athletically sound way to stroke a ball with precision. No need for power just accuracy. Added bonus 1: not having to coordinate that precision in two arms, a true back and forth motion from 1 hinging point. Bonus 2, no more getting...

Weight forward, 7.5 degrees loft and 1.5 degree flat lie and my drives are flying beautifully and long. it took me a round or 2 to trust I could really go after it without pulling it left. 3h, lofted...

    Looking For Alternative Iron Shafts Other Than UST Mamiya Recoils

    My experience is that with the steelfibers getting into the right weight is almost more important as the flex. They run on the firm side for the stated flex. Combine that with a weight that does not suit you and you have a hard time swinging them. And they just feel very stout. ti My surprise...

    PXG 0811 X Proto Driver

    Received my x Proto, 3w and 3h Tuesday and took m for a spin Yesterday. Driver was awesome, extra lengt, great sound outdoors. Heavy weight toe side to compensate for left worked great. Put it up front couple swings and snap hooked m. Weight system has quite an impact. I hit the 3w the best...
