I’ve been waiting nearly 25 years to make my first eagle on a par-5. Poor I know, for a six-handicapper. But after taking the Srixon Z-Star XV for a spin recently on the Duchess Course at Woburn, I was finally able to cross that feat off my golfing to-do list.

Split Dual crown design helps lower the centre of gravity to produce a higher, more forgiving, more powerful ball flight. Twin sole tuning cartridges help improve acoustics of the 460cc head, with less twisting at impact. Mid-Trajectory Aldila Voodoo shaft. Available only in 12-deg loft.

The shape is proven. Sleek and low-slung with mechanical lines that appeal to the putting surgeon, wield a Newport 2 and you’re in Tour-company. Many of the world’s best players depend on this design for their livelihood, and it’s no wonder. The proof is in the details.

I’ve made no secret that golf clubs don’t really turn me on the way they do many of my peers.

If you’re looking for golf shoes that are comfortable, do the job in wet underfoot conditions and don’t break the bank, then look no further than the Hi Tec V-Lite splash.

I’d previously never used an electric trolley until last week. I think it had something to do with being traumatised as a kid when watching someone drive theirs into a lake.

It’s not just the name that gives this stunning white-headed TaylorMade driver its claim to fame. RocketBallz, the new word in the golf dictionary for 2012, was born after TaylorMade staffer Dustin Johnson described the ball’s explosive release as ‘like a rocket’. Not half, DJ.

Usually, the safest place to stand when I’m hitting a wood off the deck is on the green. After picking up the RocketBallz Tour 3-wood last week, I needed all my *imaginary* fans standing behind the ropes. Quite please!

AirFoil Design aerodynamics and trusty Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue shaft as standard. Available with 8.5-, 9.5- and 10.5-degree loft in right-handed (9.5 and 10.5 for LH). Also a Draw version (10.5 deg RH) and women's model (12- and high launch in RH)

It's rare these days to pick up a driver that doesn't come with any nuts, bolts, nooks or crannies. But if it offers you a true ball flight, who cares? Right? The Mizuno MP-650 driver might be aimed at the better player but it's an extremely no-nonsense club.

I rocked up at the local golf club the other day waiting for my good friend and playing partner to arrive on the first tee.

My mother has always been telling me to wrap up warm before I head out onto the golf course. She’s never quite understood that three or four layers of clothes can be rather restricting on the downswing.

I was crawling around in nappies when Cleveland Golf released its original 588 wedge 23 years ago. Today, having tested the brand-spanking new CG 588 Forged wedge for myself, I’m pleased to say I’ve found my own little baby.

If you fancy taking more aerial pictures of your playing partner's ball then this is the app for you.

Cobra has made one of its boldest statements yet with its spanking new AMP driver. And it hasn’t been tangoed by accident.
