what bats do you guys recommend? not too pricey, MAX of £500 for the set (I still have my bag and trolley though)

I would get a cheap set from Decathlon maybe before you spend lots of dosh. Then if you really get back into it, look at a more expensive set.

Sorry, I don't mean to play Mother but I did a similar thing with mountain biking, spent loads on a Specialised Stumpjumper Comp and used it twice (so far)..... that was two years ago.
I know EXACTLY what you mean. looking online I'll prob spend half the amount mentioned in my opening post (but this is PH, I didn't want to look tight/careful with my cash wink )

I already have shoes, glove, trolley and bag

cheers

shout FOOOOOORE !!!

The reason they don't always put out is because it is match play.

If their partner has already got the ball down in four and they miss the put to match it then they just pick the ball up because they can't match or beat the score their partner has just got. The partner wins the hole.

Yep, bigbubba is correct. The Walker cup, the Ryder Cup, and i think the Vivendi trophy and the presidents cup, are all matchplay tournaments
was wondering that too

thanks
