    @taniwharugby No idea what he said. I take it those guys don't have much time for each other!

    @tim did you hear what Bryson was saying?

    Was odd it sounded like he had metal spikes on, I thought everyone was all soft spikes?

    Bit amusing really as I think plenty think he is a bit of a douche too!

    Could well be bullshit but ...

    @majorrage If true that's a dick comment, especially from the guy who came 38th...

    It's pretty funny if they're chummy, a dick move if not! Judging by the reaction, I'd say they're not..

    I fucking can’t stand Bryson. He’s just a fucking tool.

    @voodoo I did a google yesterday trying to find out what the comments might be. Couldn't find anything but there were plenty of links suggesting bad blood going back a few years.

    @dogmeat I've seen a few places state it was similar to what was described above.

    Am wondering if this is all a bit scripted.

    They'd be a great pairing for the Ryder Cup though

    Devastating for John Rahm. Way out in front and even a hole in one, but has to withdraw after testing positive for Covid.

    I may have missed it but I can't see any mention from you golf tragics of Mickelson becoming the oldest ever major winner - one months shy of his 51st birthday?

    He's one of my hatiest players. Great win though!

    Ok fellas, I need help. I have been a very occasional golfer at times, just hack around a few holes at times with mates. Never got close to 100 for 18 holes (probably only tried a couple of times, and nowhere near 50 on 9 holes. I have a set of Cleveland HB3 irons, about 15 years old.
    So now I retired and getting older and slower I decided I might try a bit of golf, joined a local club (Eltham) just a small country club. They have a 9 hole haggle on mid week which suits me at this stage etc. Thing is I tempted to get some new clubs, the ones I got now don't quite feel right, ( they almost look like hybrids) and while in gold warehouse salesman reckoned a set of GWX Platinum men series would do me nicely. thay seem pretty flexible graphite shafts, but becuase they had a few trying clubs I didn't get a chance to try them. Anyon got any advice etc, I don't want to spend a fortune and at 67 , I not going to play forever, and swing speed certainly not going to increase.

    @dan54 well you certainly need to try them, ideally on a course rather than just the range.

    I just googled those clubs, and yeah they arent 'standard' irons by the look (personally never been a fan of most Cleveland stuff which tended to be a bit different)

    But at your age, there are certainly plenty of clubs that can assist you, so ideally try a few different ones, there are alot of variables to golf clubs, but ultimately, you will know if it feels right.

    I know this dude is pretty divisive, on tour with players and fans, but I like watching him hit the ball (hate his putting set up)

    Saw a post earlier showing him playbthe 18th, the amount of people ripping him for only making par and shooting 60 was ridiculous.
