    Whats your best/worst and average for the season so far ?

    Update : Course par 72 . Best was 81 (nett72), but managed to shoot 80 (nett 71) for 4th place in yesterdays 1st club champ qualifier, and get my first cut of the season as css was 72. Course is in poor condition and feel like I'm leaving a lot of shots out there just now which I suppose is a...

    Entering comps on HDID

    Played Ballochmyle last year on a works outing and really enjoyed it. Thought course was excellent and like you say really friendly club. I'm sure you'll enjoy it there. As for HDID bookings at my new club, I'll need to ask about this in the morning after my round. Not sure how it would work...

    Entering comps on HDID

    I've not been able to book thru HDID site at the past 2 clubs I've been with, but neither of them have been very up to date as far as the online stuff went. Website, Facebook, twitter were all very slow to be updated, they preferred pieces of paper and club noticeboards to any of the above...

    Most you have paid for a round of golf ?

    Me and bro in law were on holiday with the families in Cala d'or and decided to ask at reception if they could arrange a game for us somewhere. We got sorted out with a round at Val d'or golf club . Can't remember what the round itself cost but given that we had to hire all our gear on top of...

    Golf this weekend

    Wasn't expecting a game this wknd but managed to find some time to sneak in a round on a local 9 holer yesterday :whoo: Course has held up better than I was expecting. There was 1 temp green which made a short par 4 even shorter, yet I still managed to take 5 on this (even with one of those big...

    Clicgear 3.0, icart one or something else...recommendations please!

    You're right, jazz does have a good sized boot for such a small car. My reason for lack of space was cos I'm a lazy git. I preferred to keep my trolley (bulky electric one) and cart bag in the car incase opportunity came up to get a hit at the last minute, but Mrs divot kept complaining that...

    Clicgear 3.0, icart one or something else...recommendations please!

    I had an electric for couple months and got rid of it for same reason. Have you looked at big max iq lightweight trolley ? I done a bit of research for same reasons as yourself (was driving a Honda jazz so lack of boot space ) looked at the clicgear trolleys too but the big max iq was smaller...

    Evening Golf

    Don't get to play too often in the evening due to having two kids to contend with at home. Work shifts tho and play a lot first thing in the morning after a night shift, you can't beat it. I can clock out work at 6am and be on the 1st tee by 6:15, course to ourselves, full 18holes , then back in...

    Your Best Golf Achievement

    Not done anything of note in medals/comps but last summer I played a bounce game with a friend and shot gross 4 under (68 on a par 72) . I managed to get to the turn in 3 under which was unheard of for me (don't usually get too many birdies) , but what pleased me most was how I managed to keep...

    haddington gc open comp

    Thanks Just paid my fees for new club yesterday and waiting on a fixture diary , so I'll check to see what's planned for that day at our club then make a decision. If you were talking about a round you've had there recently then it sounds a bit more promising than I thought it might.

I know it's down east coast which is usually great for golf (I played whitekirk last week and conditions thru there were night and day compared to courses thru...
