Thanks for the response. 🙂

Just a quick question about the sizing, I tend to be XL or XXL depending on the brand. I’m 6′ 1″ and 17st. Anyone able to help. I find that sometimes the XL is a great fit and the XXL too big BUT sometimes the XL is a bit tight and the XXL is perfect!

I’m out – no offence. 🙂
I can understand why the players have done it. Eye watering sums of money involved, especially for the likes of Poulter and Westwood. I think that it is an example of a more general greed that is prevalent today – not just in golf. When is enough actually enough? If you gave anybody on this forum 10 million from the lottery they would be set-up for life and their family would be set-up for generations. They wouldn’t be going “I need to the win the lottery again”.

I don’t think there are many players that are missed massively except Rahm. I cannot, however, comment on the quality of the golf or the format as I don’t watch based on my principle above. It could also be that I’m quite traditional in my golf thinking – the Masters is amazing because there are no phones on the course, the Open should be a different test for the players (links + wind is always fun).

If somebody, such as yourself, likes it then that’s good too. I like watching the ladies tours which some guys I know don’t like. It’s about freedom to choose.

Keep enjoying LIV. 🙂

I’ve got a Garmin S70 combined with the sensors. I really like it. Not the cheapest (I had received a wee bonus from work) but is pretty decent. Automatically registers shots, etc. Started using it at the start of last season and I’ve no complaints. I’ve recently added the Garmin Z30 laser that works in conjunction with the watch. Zap the flag from the tee box on a par 4 and it gives you flag distance for the rest of the hole.

I’ve no personal experience with any others.

Hope all goes well for you fella(and the gang). Up the golf mates. I’m in West Cumbria so if you want a cheeky wee links challenge give me a shout!

[John Owens]

Hi, I play at a cheeky wee hidden gem in West Cumbria. Our greens have just had bit of aerating. Nothing major. It’s a 12 months of the year type of place.
