How Pings helped Paul recover from 'the shanks'

Callaway's Fusion+ driver

Mae Kember says her purchase of the Callaway Ladies Fusion+ driver has helped her maintain her high standard of a 12 handicap - even at the age of 65 - and as captain of the Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire Ladies Seniors team.

"The club is light and very easy to control. I also have the 3-, 5- and 7-wood to match and highly recommend them," says Mae, a member at Bourn Golf Club, near Cambridge, which has a thriving health club and opens a new 9-hole course in July.

"I have played off and on for many years including West Africa where you putt on a mixture of oil, tillings from the mines and sand," says Mae, who adds: "I would also like to take the opportunity of saying how much I enjoy reading the many articles and views on Golfmagic."

Nike NDS iron

Mark Starford (33) an architectural technologist, has his in-laws to thank for setting him on the golfing path. They bought him a set of lessons for his 30th birthday at the Gubeon Golf Academy near Morpeth, Northumberland.

My first full round came when my company hosted a corporate day at Ramside Hall, near Durham. I scored a massive 132 for 18 holes but loved every second of it. I was hooked," recalled Mark who told us about the Nike NDS irons he bought.

"They're very forgiving and ideal for the higher handicapper, " says Mark who is now the proud owner of a 25 handicap at Burgham Park. "These clubs are easy to hit from 3-iron to pitching wedge. Even with mishits the ball gets into the air easily with a high trajectory.

"I have yet to break 100 but that's my next goal," he adds.
