Try the following. USGA but would imagine in the R&A have similar recommendations. http://www.usga.org/workarea/linkit.aspx?linkidentifier=id&itemid=11384

Arrived back last night myself. First time over and had a brilliant week. In addition to the competition rounds we played front 9 at Portstewart on a glorious summer's evening last Saturday (what a spectacular front nine that is!), a practice round at Portrush Valley on Sunday and had a...

Well after a practice round as Portrush on Sunday where fellow forum member Dougie must have wondered how I ever came to be in possession of a handicap of 10, I wouldn't exactly say I was looking forward to yesterday's opening round at Castlerock However I'd obviously learned my lesson and...

Hi Dougie. Should be fine. I've got times at 3:30 and 3:40 on Sunday and there are currently only the 5 of us. I've sent you a PM with my contact details. Alan

Anyone going over to Portrush next week? Flying over Saturday morning and have a practice round for The Valley at Portrush on Sunday. I have currently have two times booked for 15:30 and there are only five of us so three free spots if anyone interested in a pre-tournament round. Been drawn...

Yeah, good luck. Looks like you need the practice. :D

Might take you up on that in the Spring.

Anyone played this in the past or planning to play this year? Sent off my entry today just to give myself something to look forward to after the lack of golf over the festive period. http://www.tullamoredewgolf.com/about-the-tournament/default.asp £180 for minimum four rounds (also entitled...

Managed to get a game at Gullane today - 1 & 2 both open with some temp greens. Course was frozen solid but good to finally get out for a bit of fresh air.

Would be surprised if we get a game in Edinburgh before the new year. Best hope would seem to be down the coast somewhere next week. Anyone know how things look down Gullane, North Berwick way?

Gullane had been open last few days but is closed today. AFAIK there in now nowhere open in East Lothian. Assuming Fife is the same so looks like no more golf until after Xmas. Really looking forward to playing this week as well. :(

The bill will be in the post. Probably. At least last time I ordered the tax invoice was sent by the courier a week or two later. Alan

If you're looking for a new club then why not come up and join us at the Braids United at Braid Hills. Only another £50 on top of your £99. Bargain. We play every Saturday around 12:00 (also have a couple of times around 08:00) and our winter stableford league kicks off this weekend...

I went to Glasgow 5 or 6 weeks and after trying the MX200 and MP-52s went for the 52s 5-PW and MX Fli-Hi 3 and 4. Took a little while to get into my stride with them but hitting them well now. There's a forum aver on the Mizuno UK site with quite a bit of discussion about custom fitting and...
