Hi Darren, Well played in the Open, on TV it looked as though you had gold shafts in your irons? What brand and specification are these? Regards Andy

Andy Bell

Hi Andy, They are True Temper shafts called "Monaco".... and are steel shafts but heavy ones....the finish on them are to make them different!!!! Regards, Darren.


Hello, Darren, How Are You Doing? I Currently Play Off A Handicap Of 5.7 And Am 15 Years Old, My Target Is To Get Down To Scratch Before I Am 18, Can You Give Me Any Tips/Advice On How To 'Possibly' Do This? Kind Regards, Jack,

Jack McColm

Hello there Jack, very good so far getting down to 5.7, well done. To get to the next level you really need to tighten up on your short game. So, I would suggest practising your shots from 100 yards and in - accuracy with these shots is critical in turning good scores into even better scores. I wish you luck and hope you get there! Cheers, Darren.


Hi Darren GREAT NEWS on the Ryder Cup appointment, truly deserved. Still think you might make the team, either way it will be great to see you at Celtic Manor.. Best wishes Mark Freeman

Mark Freeman

Hi Mark, thanks for that - I must say it's a real honour to be a vice captain and I'm really looking foward to it - it's a really good team of four to inspire the team to victory! Cheers, Darren.


Darren, Congrats on win in Adare and 2nd Place in Loch Lomond. You seem to be very relaxed in Loch Lomond letting the golf come to you rather than chasing it. I always seem to under perform even when I know I should play better. Aside from 3 whiskey's before tee off what do you suggest?

Patrick Kehoe

Hi Patrick, thanks for the message. It was a frustrating final round at Loch Lomond but at least it put me on the road to St Andrews. I think probably you need to practice a bit more and get to really trust your swing and know where the ball's going - if you can get a bit of consistency on the range then you'll feel more confident and that in turn should make you play better. Dump the whiskey and try a Guinness instead! Cheers, Darren.


Congratulations on securing the last qualifying place at the Open Championship starting tomorrow! I will be following your progress and here's wishing you all the best and hope that you do well and maybe even win the event.! RODDY FOO
