I played my first 9 holes with them on Thursday and was impressed. Then my first competition with them yesterday. 39 points, first place. My best score on my home course since I was a junior.

Garmin S1 Approach watch, tried out today for the first time over 9 holes. Had a pretty average experience with a laser so was sceptical about going the GPS route but must say I'm very happy with it. Distances were very accurate to front, middle and back of green, exactly what it says on the tin!

You can be humbled with such accurate measurements though; on the 2nd, I had 125 to the front edge, walloped a 7 iron right out of the screws and just about crawled onto the green. Icy, blustery wind notwithstanding, I'm probably not as long as I thought I was

scrubber72

Toilet golf - pray tell! Is this anything to do with the stress ball and the extra forearm strength?!

You would think so! Waterproof the advert said and they were.... for about a week. They were stored inside and slowly dried after a wet days play. Simply, just a poor quality shoe from Nike.

What do you expect for €50?

I expect if the advert says "waterproof", then they are waterproof for longer than a week. I also expect the outer material not to start peeling and ripping after 3 months.

So going by the monetary value, the DryJoys were €110 so should I expect them to be waterproof for 2 weeks and the outer integrity to last for 6 months? Hope I get more than that.

Only golf stuff I got this year was a few books. 'Golf is Not a Game of Perfect' by Bob Rotella and 'The Greatest Game Ever Played' by Mark Frost.

Only about 80 pages into Bob Rotella's book and it's really interesting. Haven't started the Mark Frost book but really looking forward to it.

Purchased a few months back but "arrived" XMas morning...

A couple of lessons in Fota golf academy.

Have you tried them out yet?
My hybrids are 10 years old and I am considering upgrading to these this year. So I would be interested to see how you liked them.

Two great books. The Greatest Game Ever Played is just fantastic. It's a long book but you'll come away with it with a huge knowledge of the game and its origins, apart from the actually story itself of Ouimet. Enjoy!

And then you will go out and buy the other 2 books Mark Frost wrote.....

The Match and The Grand Slam

And if that really floats the boat it will mean you then buy more books on Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Walter Hagen

Only got the one (4 hybrid).

Played 14 holes with it and was pretty pleased. Hit it longer than my old 3 hybrid but I suppose that's not really the most important thing! Hadn't played since last July or so so it's hard to judge as I was fairly abysmal for the first 5/6 holes.

Will post again if I can get out in the next few weeks!

Don't suppose you could get on to Santa and ask him where he managed to pick up the Ryder cup DVD? I'd love to get a copy - I still find myself regularly watching coverage of the last day on youtube.

Ya you saw something like it on sky over Xmas, either final day singles or just highlights. The DVD is 262mins long, my kind of entertainment no breaks or watching wildlife in between shots, all action!! Going to round up some golfing mates and a case of beer, perfect combination to watch the greatest comeback of all time!
