Golf 365
Your Say

From the Editor :

A very warm welcome to the new-look Golf365.

Our plan was to build a site which offered the best of both worlds - all the latest news, features, live leaderboards and in-depth analysis from the pro side of the game coupled with a mission to get you out there playing.

So as well as tracking Tiger and Rory's footsteps, we'll also keep you up to date with the latest equipment reviews (look out for our special Nike feature coming soon) and open you up to some new forms of the game.

Last week our team went down to Watford to take part in the first TopGolf Journo Masters where we ended up hitting 'clever balls' into targets from heated driving bays - see our Exclusive features section to find out more.

In the coming weeks and months we'll also be delving into PowerPlay Golf, the new nine-hole version of the game, and also trying out the new indoor offerings which are springing up.

Whether it be 18 holes in golden sunshine or a quick whack at lunchtime we'll be bringing you tips and instruction to improve your game and we'll pull all that together with a brand new feature called 'The Guinea Pig'.

Golf365 columnist Matt Cooper is the man handing himself over to science and he'll use every avenue open to him - swing coach, psychologist etc - to try and get his handicap down from 15 to single figures. By tracking his progress and seeing what works you might be stimulated to try something similar.

We wanted a strong visual content to the new site and hopefully you'll see that shine through in our video and gallery sections.

Our video content includes a daily news report, European Tour highlights, tips and comps and look out for the new 'Golf Show' coming soon.

Fancy a bet? Well, if you do, this is the place to come. Our tipping team have made huge profits so far in 2009 with 66/1, 35/1 and 18/1 winners (twice) as well as some juicy each-way returns.

On the US Tour we're already 250pts in profit and we're now gearing up for a crack at the US Masters.

Talking of Augusta, we'll house a special Masters section within the new site on Monday with everything you need to know (player profiles, course guide, special features) about the year's first major.

But it gets even better. If you're out and about and want to keep track of what we're up to you can follow us on Twitter while you can also join in on our Facebook page (see bottom of the page to click through).

And coming shortly we'll have a fun and games section where you can test your golfing knowledge on a daily basis and win great prizes.

But this isn't a one-way street.

We want your views and opinions too. Which are the best clubs, where are the best places to play and who is the most likely to give Tiger a run for his money?

Go to our Mailbox section (see Opinion on the top of the page) to give us your thoughts on all things golf. And, of course, don't be afraid to tell us what you think of the new site - good or bad.

Anyway, I've warbled enough. Click away and enjoy!!

Hi grahamwilliam - have you got your tickling stick ready yet? Doddy made the top 5 both the last 2 weeks. Ho-ho! More seriously, looking forward to this week. Not sure the Welsh boys will do much but you never know.

Hi I thought you might like this poem i wrote GOLF Golf is a very special game so often I've been told played in the height of summer and also when tis cold. The tidy and well maintained lawns are full of little holes to keep smiles on the faces of the happy little souls A pleasant walk in summer, short sleeves and lightweight trews, some have a trolley with a sest, from hole to hole they cruise. Fore! Good shot and well done there is uttered while in motion tops of balding heads are white, with lashings of sun tan lotion If by chance during the game you score a hole in one your dream come true, you jump with joy then realize what you've done for later on when in the bar you have to buy a round then every golfer in the world comes out from underground regards Susan Haywood susiehaywood@hotmail.co.uk

I'm going to Celtic Manor too. Been going for the last few years and want a second look at the 2010 course - wasn't too convinced last year. But let's give it a chance - 12 months could have made a difference. Be nice to see a Welshman win - great to see the Irish go berserk last week. Perhaps Doddy or Dredge can oblige ...

Really looking forward to the next 3 weeks - I don't have Sky so some Euro golf on the BBC, then off to Celtic Manor for some golf on my doorstep! Should be great. Think the young Brits can go well - Ross Fisher, Oli Wilson, Rory McIlroy, Ross McGowan, Dave Horsey.

lost the will to type after the brian gay eposide. The obvious winner this week is nick watney because ive backed him every time apart from when he won and my gambling money has ran out so not done him this week so law of averages say he's the winner. i'm that unlucky lately black cats run a mile when they see me

brian gay was not a gay day for me. stopped backing him this week. done him every week until this week. stewards enquiery how he won by ten unbelievable shots. i feel ill, gutted, devastated, in shock. bookies are laughing at me. i feel under par. missed out on an 80 to 1 winner. wrote it out said not worth it. devastating. giving up

Thought I'd better come back and report on results of our Masters comp!! Not sure is worth doing though - geez we were poor. Not a point amongst us. Perhaps grahamwilliam is right and he knows eveyrthing and we don't. except ... graham wasn't so on the mark either!! really stoked by last sunday though. got 4 easter eggs and ate the lot on the back nine, haha

Oh Graham, you make me laugh. I thought it was a great Masters. Pockets of exciting play from most of the big names, late surges, a play-off finish, even your much anticipated Woods/Mickelson pairing - it was great. And that green jacket looks great on Cabrera. Amazing it fitted so well, considering it was tailored for Woods ;)

Cardieboy: I dunno. Also not so sure Campbell will stay up there. How about a Garcia v Tiger finish? Could be exciting too. I'm still backing Ogilvy though - especially now that my other two picks have slumped. What a round from Kim though! It'd be awesome if he could do more of that. Graham: Mate, given your spelling and punctuation, we'd be hard-pressed to learn anything from you. Just getting the gist of your posts is a Herculean task.

How do we all think it is going? Can't see Chad holding on. Nor many at the top. Think Weir + harrington looks good with Tiger to breath down their necks. said I wanted Mickelson v Tiger but changed my mind. Padraig v Tiger. How good would that be if they both went at it?
