What shaft flex do I need?
Shaft flex is determined by tempo and transition as much as swing speed. As a rough guide: under 75 mph driver speed suits senior or ladies flex, 75–90 regular, 90–105 stiff, above 105 extra stiff — but two golfers at the same speed can need different shafts.

How to choose a golf bag
Choose by how you get round: walking means weight matters more than pockets, riding means a cart bag with a forward-facing top. Carry bags run 2.5–5 lb; cart bags trade weight for storage and organisation.

Electric or push trolley — which should you buy?
A push trolley costs less, never needs charging and is lighter to transport. An electric trolley removes the effort entirely and is worth it if you play regularly, walk hilly courses, or have any back or joint trouble.

Clean grooves after every round, wash grips monthly with warm soapy water, never leave clubs in a car boot over winter, and re-grip roughly every 40 rounds or once a year.
