There is little pleasure in scraping mud off your trolley and having the wheels looking like one of those monster trucks after half a dozen holes. Neverthless, it is becoming more and more a part of winter golf. The courses... View Article

Like most... View Article

Will they be as hopeless as ever? The PGA Tour has kicked off in the Hawaiian Islands and the European Tour (now known as the DP World Tour) is underway in the middle East. So, it must be time for me to make my usual appallingly bad... View Article

By far my favourite of the games that you can play in your bay is the Closest to the Pin.

November 10, 2024 12:32 pmPublished by Nick WakeComments Off on Jon reviews his golfing predictionsAs we approach the end of the 2024 golfing season, I thought I would have a little look back on my confident predictions for the year made in March and see how I got on. As usual, it is an epic fail on my part! Missed cuts I’m convinced that Viktor Hovland is going to win a major, so went... View Article
November 8, 2024 11:45 amPublished by Nick WakeComments Off on The mental gameThere are many things I admire about the best golfers in the world. But their ability to leave the previous shot behind is the best of all. What is done…is done. It’s the mental game. I bet you behave similarly to the way I do. When I hit a poor shot that has ruined the hole or I miss a... View Article

You will have a handicap, so use it. Let’s make the maths easy. If you are an 18-handicap that means you have a shot a hole to play with. So, on that terribly difficult 425-yard par 4 hole, you do not need... View Article
