I would take the offer of playing RND up. Played it last year on a twilight offer ( £25 i think) Its a great links course and some ways quite unique,Although it shares many of the traits of a typical flat links layout eg hard fast running fairways etc. What makes it difficult is the sea...

I wonder if goes back to the days of metal spikes, Over the years no doubt that metal spikes would damage the tarmac. but more than likely like a previous post, you would not change into swimming gear in the car park idea.

I have already arranged a number of other courses with the guys I am meeting up with. Crail, Eden and Levin. But i am arriving a little earlier than then, so can fit in one more round: So which course would you play, Budget around £120 ish.

I remember watching a leadbetter video on the short game: He ethos was to use the lowest loft club lands on the green to allow the consistant roll. Should really think about using it myself, easy to forget and always play the fly it high or bump and run opition.

Stuart C Your at Lee Park arent you? I went back a couple of weeks ago, I agree they where in fantastic condition. Played Blundells hill also in the same week, the start of the good weather, apparently they took a chance and did their work early on the greens, although they did not roll as...

I have had the pleasure of playing Filey twice when visting the area. 1st thing, IMO having played a number of links courses, this is not a links course in the slightest. Yes its on the coast but thats about it, but its a classic parkland set up. But it is a course that is well worth a visit...

Thats very true, but they also have stock shot and only shape the ball the other way when the shot demands it. They generally dont shape the ball just for the heck of it unless your name is Bubba

A soft fade, is a very nice shot to have. Its often considered a safe shot but that i mean there is little that can go wrong with it. If you draw the ball you open yourself up to blocking the ball straight right or overdoing it and hooking it. So any given day when its not quite on the mark...

Pretty sure this has been proven as a fake.

Which one are we talking about? I think there are two with very similar names? If its the one in warrington, although i have not played it, but having spoken to other guys who have and said its a very nice course. Good price for membership also.

I have no doubt, if they ever get the money to do what is promised at bootle it will probably be the best Muni in the Liverpool area, I believe it was already meant to be finished but the company that leased it off the council asked for more time due to lack of funds. Bootle has a links like...

First of all good luck with your venture. I think a lot has already been mentioned: Depending on competition in the area, setting up a well stocked shop could be both a good idea and bad. Great if there are no other shops about, but you need to have the expertise to sell the equipment, Custom...

Cheers for the comments guys, I will give sherdly park a look in, what worries me about it, the back 9 i could probably just about drive 4 of the holes. I wonder how much of a challenge it would be, given that the SSS is -3 under par even of the whites and no par 4 over 400y. Again Allerton...

Cheers PeterLav, Sums up my thoughts pretty well. What are you paying membership wise for Kirby?, Do you know when they run there comps? and how do they work? Do they have a block booking on a saturday morning? Is pretty high up on the list, as i only live in Whiston so is only 10mins down...

Still think about what to do for my golf this year While full private membership is out of the question. I have the choice of playing social golf with some comps attached although without handicap rights or i could join a local Muni Club: I know there is a few guys in the merseyside area on...
