No problem. A face on view would be helpful, it's hard to tell from the back but it looks like you are a bit stooped at address which you then compensate by throwing your right shoulder up and out on your backswing which would cause your slice... It's also possible your ball is a touch too far forward which is why you are reaching for it with an open clubface at impact.

Nothing wrong with your swing, looks all in sync but I would have a look at your alignment as you appear to be very closed at address (although it's very hard to tell from a garden video!!)

My OH was actually hit by lightning once while playing golf and it hasn't done her too much damage (other than coming to in a ditch and needing her 7 iron re-gripped...!!). Gary Player once said that if you are ever caught golfing in a thunder storm, go out to the most open place you can find and hold your 1 iron above your head as according to him, "even god can't hit a 1 iron properly"

I'm about 5 miles north of Witch at the moment sat outside having a nice pub meal on a beautiful evening. No storms here but does need one!

I might be looking for a unicorn but I thought I'd ask.... Does anyone know of a utility that will scan for missing/latest drivers for Windows and install them without (and here's the catch) it either scanning but then charging you for the actual drivers, installing a tonne of adware on the PC or doing anything else underhand? Would be even better if a portable app existed! I'm doing all the driver injection for my Windows 10 image at the moment and just thought this might be quicker than searching for all the unknown device drivers on one off laptops etc... Thanks as always Andrew

Same as a few others on here. Top level folder is locked down so staff can't create new folders, the sub folders are open but amazingly very well maintained (well apart from Spanish which looks like an explosion in a binary factory but I'm working on some "retraining"..)

Couple of things to check. 1) In Recipient Configuration, Distribution Group, (list properties), Group Information make sure "managed by" is filled in. I've seen moderation fail because some older groups had no manager (especially if your system has come up from an older version of Exchange) 2) Bit of an egg sucking one, but in Recipient Configuration, Distribution Group, (list properties), MailFlow Settings, Message Moderation make sure it is actually filled in correctly! 3) The system mailbox users may have been disabled by an overkeen admin disabling strange accounts or even deleted. This link may help. https://theucguy.net/system-mailboxes-in-exchange-2010-how/ HTH Andrew

Had the par 3 course to myself on Saturday morning so did 9 without scoring doing lots of bunkers, chips and putts and then went round again doing a two ball better ball score in the driving rain and scored 24 (3 under). Need to get out on a long course at some point but the next two weeks are manic with no chance to get out

6'2 is quite tall for a standard set of clubs (by standard I mean off the shelf at sports direct etc) so I would indeed look at getting them fitted. Hooking and topping may actually indicate your ball position is too far back rather than too far forwards especially if you feel like you are drilling the top half of the ball into the ground rather than clipping the top on the way up. I know, stupid game isn't it!!! Your pro will soon spot what you are doing and the feeling of nailing one straight is great when it happens consistently. Have fun learning, don't give up and remember a thrown club at best can make 20 yards whereas a mishit ball can easily make five times that especially when there is water or long grass nearby

Normally a player 6 foot or under can get away with a standard set of clubs when starting (unless you have arms like Mr Tickle). I'm very tall, so my clubs are 1 inch longer than standard and 1 degree upright. It's always worth getting a pro or somewhere like American Discount to check your clubs though. Hitting the ball half an inch up (or topping) is usually caused (but not always) by one of three things:- 1) You are coming up on the shot. This is often caused by looking up before you have hit the ball. A very simple tip for curing this is to put the logo on the ball to the back and try and read the logo as you hit the ball. 2) Hitting the ball on the upswing. If you watch a golf swing in slow motion with an iron you will see that you actually hit the ball on the way down, not the way up. topping may indicate that your ball position is wrong so try moving it back 1 inch in your stance and see if that makes a difference. 3) Swinging too hard. The harder you thrash a ball, the more out of sync your swing is. I was once taught that the perfect swing should be timed from start to finish by saying Severiano Ballesteros. If you only have time to say "Seve" you are swinging too fast!!! HTH

Thanks Just looking for a couple of pictures, the 7 wood was downhill from 220yds and nailed it to about 6 foot for an eagle (and several Euros...) and the putt was a curler that lipped out...

It's a long story!!! Back in my youth I was a scratch golfer playing left handed. I suffered a major back injury and as a consequence could no longer play left handed. So I started again playing right handed and as the rotation in my back won't allow me to hit flat out irons it was suggested I used lofted fairway woods instead as it's a longer smoother swing. I do get some funny looks at times when I pull out a wood from 110yds but then I've got my right handed handicap down from 24 to 1 and held the course record at my old club (64 nett 59 on a par 71 in the club championship) so I don't really care. Oh, and I still putt left handed

Well the woods are still OK (I carry 8 in my bag, 1W, 2W, 3W, 5W, 7W, 9W, 11W & 13W) but the irons are all over the place and the putter is talking a different language but hopefully it will come back in time. Hoping to spend some time on the Poultons Park academy par 3 course this weekend, £5 a round

I was a 1.2 handicapper before I broke my foot in Jan 2015. Haven't played since but have had the all clear to start playing again. I suspect I'll be lucky to break 100 for a few rounds...

Yup, 10240 here as well. I take it "netsh winhttp show proxy" returns the correct settings?

Have you got anything strange in here? [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

I've used the following command line for Windows 7, 10 and 2012 windows updates and it always works. I use an unauthenticated proxy as I find it fails with 407 errors if I ever try and run through my authenticated proxy netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="proxyserver:8080" bypass-list="*.mydomain.local" Andrew

It's not supported but still works without issue with 7, 8 and 10

It's a hypothetical debate at the moment as it's not critical for the gold build as we could install SOLUS3 at any time however... It's a PIA having to have nearly 200 PC's plus laptops on for a major upgrade so I'm just thinking of easier ways to do it. Interesting reply from @Banjo though, I'm glad I'm not the only one having these crazy thoughts Thanks for all the input, interested in any other views Andrew

Interesting debate running in my office at the moment so I thought I'd throw this out for some opinions. We are currently finishing the gold build for Windows 10 and the question was raised for how to install SOLUS3 for the staff and IWB PC's. My argument is that SOLUS3 isn't really needed on all the workstations at all, if we just maintain a central shared folder with the latest client files on it (ie manually updated after SOLUS updates an Admin PC in my office) then the workstations can run a quick fastcopy script, update the c: sims.net folder and away they go. This also makes major upgrades go faster as you only need to update the server and one admin PC. My deputy however feels that by not installing SOLUS on all the workstations bad things will inevitably happen further down the line. So what are your thoughts, is SOLUS an overcomplicated solution to SIMS workstation upgrades that can be dropped or should we continue to roll it out to all staff and teaching PC's? There is no debate about removing it from the SIMS server btw, this is just workstations we are talking about Andrew

And then once you have upgraded your SCCM to 1511 you can then find v1602 waiting for you in Administration, Cloud Services, Updates and Servicing within SCCM

File size? Off the top of my head it has to be less than 256kb to work

I thought it would be impossible but in fact it's the easiest hack in Windows 10. Simply delete the images in c:\programdata\microsoft\User Account Pictures and it disappears from the login screen!! You can also replace it with your own schools logo if you use the exact same file names and size, just replace them in the directory and it appears automatically on the login screen.

By turning on the custom oembackground option. This article explains it quite nicely How to Set a Custom Logon Screen Background on Windows 7, 8, or 10

Hi I have removed the requirement to press CTRL-ALT-DEL for login which by default then also disables the lock screen and associated wallpaper so it keeps my custom backgroundDefault.jpg So far doing it this way it always sticks with my custom wallpaper even if the user locks the screen with Win+L
