Yeah fair play to lowry.He's carrying his good form from the end of last season over.

watching a bit of that today- they both played well, if Lowry's putter had held over the weekend he could have taken it...
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

Lowry's now into Top-100 at No. 89; fair play to him.
My hands are stained with thistle milk ...

Watched most of this over the weekend-as Heganboy says, if his putting was better he'd have won it, some superb golf played by him.

Kaymer was good value for the win though-will be an important part of Monty's squad you'd imagine.

Hey. Am currently a 21 handicapper whose driving let's me down a bucketload.
I am playing at the k club on Sunday. How is that for wayward drives? Is it forgiving? Or should I drop down a club?
Am really looking forward to the day but don't wanna ruin it by playing like a p***k.

I wouldn't use clubs if I were you. Try a snooker cue.

Have you tried shortening your swing or holding the driver further down the shaft??

Well I actually had a lesson the other night for the first time and he said that my backswing was way too long. I didn't realise before but I can actually see my driver out of the corner of my eye at the top
of my backswing.
I know what I've to work on but I haven't had a chance to hit anything since so
am a bit wary about trying it in k club.

I've never played there but if you're more confident off the tee with a 3 wood or hybrid
stick with it until you get the driver sorted.
