  1. I dont beleive this for a minute no course would do this.Therse a guy at our course who plays off -3 which means that he has to shoot 3 under all the time to remain level par.

    He pays his fees the same as anyone else.

    I take it you mean +3?

    The free membership thing is pish unless he has been a member for 50 odd years, has won the championship 30 times and laid the greens himself.

  2. Me and my fiancee's brother are looking to take up golf this year. We went to the driving range on saturday and hit 100 balls, i hit about 80 of them decently, a few fresh air swipes also :ph34r:

    We're just thinking of getting a cheap hundred quid set to begin with or should we go for something a bit better?

    Unless you are hitting a lot of short chip shots I wouldn't ever go and hit 100 full shots on the bounce at the driving range as a beginner.

    50 is the most I ever hit (unless the aforementioned chipping conditions apply)

    If you are a complete beginner go for a cheap set of clubs including bag and putter etc. The quality of these sets are not the greatest but if you are testing the water to see if you like it, it would be rather expensive to buy decent equipment at this stage.

    The beauty of golf is equipment is always wanted by someone else, so if you do progress your cheap set will sell in the club or on eBay.

    Good luck with it, golf is the dugs boz.

  3. I have been having an unprecedented run of form lately, amassing around £80 off an initial £5 bet solely by backing 1/2 or less shots. I am keeping an eye out for really good prices on games and it's paying dividends in my relatively lowstakes aproach.

    Only 3 or 4 more good bets and I'll have paid for my Scotland away trips this year I reckon.

    That's good that's good. Are you re investing all your winnings each time?

  4. Why do the adverts for Sky HD look a lot better on my telly which is not HD than the rest of the shite thats on it?

    Are Sky giving us an inferior product on purpose so we will upgrade?

    If they can do it in the adverts do it all the time.

    It's the bit rate of the broadcast. If they wanted they could broadcast all of their content in HD. They may do this with adverts to show you what you are missing.
