Wilson Staff Di7 Irons

After spending the last few weeks fighting with my Titleist AC-108, I decided that they weren't the clubs for me, which is the unfortunate side of buying online. They may be cheap, but if they aren't suited to you and you haven't had a chance to try them before buying, then you've just wasted however much money you've spent on them. My problem with these clubs were that the heads were just far too small, or at least in my mind...

Trying to cure my slice

After self diagnosing myself with one hell of a horrible slice I decided to research online as to what could be the cause and was fortunate to stumble across a few fantastic video tutorials and guides about correcting your slice. Some were saying to just aim more to the left, but I didn't want to go through life always having to aim about 40/45 degrees left of target just to compensate for my slice. I wanted to actually have the ability to aim at the target that I want the ball to travel to and hit it there. After filming...

Buying Golf Clubs

I decided that I was definitely going to start playing again and went on the hunt for a set of cheap second hand golf clubs.

I did a bit of googling, but couldn't really...

I didn't think I had the confidence or the skill to tackle the full 18 hole course just yet, so opted to play the smaller nine hole. The course is moderately simple with most of it being comprised of straight up and down holes with some rough on either side and a few bunkers. Only a couple of the holes have real hazards in them, one being over a gully and the other is downhill with a water hazard and a river...

I'm Peter, I'm 26 and I'm a beginner golfer

It was coming to the end of my time of being a student at university and having got to know a few guys in the class, it turned out one of them was a keen golfer. I began wondering why I hadn't kept playing from when I was younger and started to question it even more as the days went on. I had always quite enjoyed whacking the ball up and down the local park across from my house, but had never really been properly involved in the game. I was given a junior half set of Regal clubs from my grandparents for my 11th or 12th birthday....
