Also, this week's round up https://bangaveragegolf.co.uk/2021/08/03/olympic-round-up-captain-america-fails-but-x-man-delivers-silver-for-the-slovak-hatless-rory/

Since I stopped writing for ESPN I was looking for some other freelance work to make up for the loss of income. I didn't really want to do any more footy writing as I prefer just being able to write whatever I like and to not have to worry about editorial policies, so TLW suits me perfectly on that front. I don't think anywhere else is letting me use the phrase 'slobbering goon'. Anyway, I've landed a nice gig reviewing golf equipment for T3.com and I'm also intending to do a golf youtube channel. I'm working on that, but unless I can get more comfortable in front of the camera that's never going to see the light of day! Hopefully I can solve that problem as I've got good ideas for interesting content. I just don't know if I can pull off the presentation. So I'm starting this thread for any golfers on here and for anyone that wants to support me just by following the social media accounts and then - if and when the time comes - liking/subscribing/sharing the videos. I'll post some of the links for the golf stuff I've reviewed, so any clicks would be appreciated as if they're getting good views that's obviously helpful to me. The youtube channel is called Bang Average Golf TV but there aren't any videos on there yet. I'll post the link to subscribe if/when there's anything to subscribe to. There's an instagram account - https://www.instagram.com/bangaveragegolftv/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/GolfBang and the website which isn't finished but will be soon - https://bangaveragegolf.co.uk/

Nice one mate. I'm using the Max D at the moment. I love my Cobra driver but if this is giving me even a few yards more leeway and keeping the ball in play it makes sense to use it. Depends on what they want reviewing. I don't get to choose. Hope they don't ask me to do grips though, it was hard enough trying to find enough words on gloves! https://www.t3.com/features/best-putter This is a really subjective thing though. You might find your better with your five pound putter than you are with a new one. Most golf shops have a space where you try them out though so even if you aren't buying, its worth just having a little go of a few to see what you like. The first thing to decide is blade or mallet style. Mallets are a lot more forgiving when you don't catch it in the sweet spot.

It was going on for ages. Hendo used to get it too, but eventually that stopped and Gini (and Milner) were the ones targeted by the knobheads. You'd see them in the replies of any post he made or any post from the club mentioning him.

Still two weeks for him to pick an injury yet.

Leaderboard at the Olympics is class. Final day should be good. My only chance of getting any cash back is if Straka can sneak a medal, but there are so many big names up there now I don't like his chances. Hideki probably going win due to the home advantage.

Videos like this make me resent him even more, and that's not even his fault.

I can sort this easily enough. Whichever team has Chiellini in it wins.

That's hardened gambler talk! I have no idea about all that stuff, I'm pretty basic with my gambling. All that in play shit and laying off, it's all way over my head. Wish I'd have been able to last that last week with that bum Fowler though. -7 after round one and in the lead. Ends up -6 for the tournament three days later.

Speaking of bets, forgot to post mine. I have... To win Cam Smith Sungjai Im Si Woo Kim To be in the medal places Straka Bezuidenhout Leishman Badly need a result here. Checked through my history and I made £265 profit in my first month golf betting, and I'm over a hundred down since then. Si Woo Kim winning gets me the biggest payout so I'm rooting for him, with Straka and Bezuidenhout in the silver and bronze ideally.

I see what you did there. Wonder if he has a bracelet that says 'Rodney' on it?

The transfer grim reaper James Pearce will probably shoot that one down later.... Contrary to claims by a random Scotsman in a supermarket, the Athletic understands that Liverpool won't be signing players for £39m and £90m respectively and there are currently no plans to sign anybody.

I've heard that's good but I've avoided that because of his accent!

I watch loads of youtube golf but I don't think I've ever seen him. Will check it out. Stacked Golf is a guilty pleasure. I don't even know why I like it, I just do. If you haven't seen it, it's a young couple who live in Florida and they go around flea markets, garage sales and charity shops looking for old golf clubs. Then they go out and play with them. It sounds shit, and I can't really even explain to you why it isn't. I just like it. SAS Golf is another one.

Yeah he's hideous. Just doesn't look after himself at all and he's defo got a drink problem.

I doubt he lost any sleep over it and it certainly didn't affect his performances. I don't blame him for calling it out though. He's playing his arse off, sacrificing his attacking play to do the job the team needs from him, he's available every single week without fail and then he logs onto his social media and there are loads of little nonces telling him to get out of their club because they want Keita in the team or Thiago to join us. He should have just responded to a few of them by telling them to fuck off and calling them FIFA virgins, or if he wanted to take a higher road post up pictures of the Barcelona game. The only thing I'd say to him if I had the chance is that for every one of those comments there will have been loads more supporting him. I'm not saying it was just a handful of knobs as it was more than that, but they're still only a tiny percentage of the overall fanbase. "The fans inside the stadium and those on social media are different". Yes and no. There are more clueless dickheads on social media than in the stadium but it's also about which comments stand out to you the most. Gini probably scrolled past loads of supportive messages and it will be the knobhead comments that caught his eye. In the stadium if you have a hundred people sitting there muttering "Fuck off Wijnaldum" and ten thousand singing his name, he's only going to be aware of the ones singing his name. He needs to look at it with a different perspective, but he wasn't wrong with what he said. He's just over-stated it.

Yep I remember it well. Fucking shameful business.

Considering I've been ripping those FIFA virgins in the diary for years, I'm not going to pull Gini up on doing the same. In fact, I'm glad he did it. The shit he'd get from them pricks was embarrassing, all because they wanted "Naby Lad" in the team instead. Hendo was getting it just as bad until he started lifting trophies and it died down a bit and they moved onto Gini instead. That had zero bearing on him leaving though, but then he didn't say it did, unless I've missed that?

Feel like negging this for the omission of Fabinho.

Matt Fryer seems a nice enough fella. I don't mind watching his videos. Ali Taylor has some decent stuff too. I don't watch any of them religiously, I just dip in and out depending on the content and whether it grabs my attention or not.

He's a good little golfer though. Some of his tips have been useful and he's more likeable than most. Shiels' videos are really good and if I hadn't listened to his podcast I'd probably not have anything negative to say about him. His video this week with the world's smallest blades was boss.

This week's round up https://bangaveragegolf.co.uk/?p=259 Feel free to share with any golfers you know.
