Re: The Golf Thread
Was a great day.
40 points, hot as fk and a couple of pints after.
Im not the greatest golfer but hitting 83 gross at a tough course has made my weekend, had a few 3 jabs as well so could have been even better.

Re: The Golf Thread
played langdon hills Saturday - its a nice course and good value for money BUT the greens are in a **** condition - reckon its because they stayed open for the winter and its the wear and tear. played front 9 to handicap - fell apart on the back
played cranham on Monday and the greens here are in tip top condition as always - shot 85 not my best score over there but for only my 3/4th round of the year its not too bad
cant wait for a bit of sun on the fairways so my 2nd shot in is a bit closer to the green

Re: The Golf Thread
Hey everyone, my name Is JH and I've been off the golf for nearly 2 and a half years :lol:
Went into the garage and saw the bats looking very lonely in the corner with quite a lot of dust on them.
Opened the pocket on the bag where I kept scorecards, and had to smile at my last round where I ended up stabbing the card with the pencil and walked off, something like +26 after 15 holes (7 hcap)

Re: The Golf Thread
Just got back from Edinburgh, what a fantastic place to play golf.
Aberdour was a great course, with some spectacular views over the river and £25 a round.
We also ended up playing Glencorse, what a lovely course that is, and only £20!
If you are ever in the area I urge you to play these 2 courses, you will not get much better.
Every club we played, the staff and members were really friendly and welcoming.
Edinburgh city centre is great for a booze up in the evenings, with most pubs closing at 1am every night of the week.

you still played cranham to handicap though - just take solace that you had a good front nine mate
i also found stapleford abbots to be very challenging and managed to play it for £0 (they have me down as a lapsed member for some reason and every year invite me back :lol: ) - love toot hill too though mate one of my favourite local courses
Im playing either Hainault or Abridge on Saturday - then Moor Ride in ascot next Friday

Maylands are a prime example its suppose to be £15 a round on it via open fairways but they insist on charging you the day rate instead of a round rate so ends up £20
Now days you get better deals off TeeOffTimes
Ones to use it on tho is the Hertfordshire, south essex and stableford Abbott’s
