    What’s your preferred type of 4-ball game format?

    Yeah we do Better Ball as well. Means we can all keep our own score but a fun match play element to it. We usually do best of 3 rounds then switch up the teams. We all play off scratch also even though we have a range of between scratch to 18. In better ball i think handicaps are less relevant...

    Handicap Change 2025

    Thanks very much a few decent low 80s round and I got a big drop due to the exceptional score rules. Naturally it came back up but happy where i am now at. Try to get closer to 10 next year!

    Celtic Manor 2025

    We just came back from a trip here. We booked through your golf travel as well. We played the 2010 on Sunday and Montgomerie Monday. 2010 was amazing, brilliant course, Montgomorie also very good, we found it the harder of the 2, the greens were lightning quick and the fringes cut longer then...

    Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

    I feel the same, I had about 5 or 6 lessons over last winter and this year my handicap dropped form 23 to under 15! Every lesson I came away hitting the ball better. Hadn't seen him since around April time but over the last month I have been struggling catching my irons thin, so went to see him...

    Think this will be the play if we ever get asked again, although its the first time we have ever had it to be fair.

    Golf Random Irritations

    When you are in a 4 ball as a green fee and the starter asks if he can let 2 members go ahead, tells us they are good players (even said these guys are big hitters 😂 ) and will be long gone. (no one in front). Naturally we obliged and though and behold we are stuck behind them the whole round...

    This happens to me as well, never on the course, only the range. I do the same though and ignore. Although the first wedge shot on the course is always nerve wrecking 😂

    Also, trying to play sensible and lay up short of a bunker 170 yards away with a 7 iron, only to hit the best seven iron of your life and end up in the bunker any way, 😂

    Shooting your best ever round (82) but your handicap going up because it replaces an 83 with a lower score differential 😂

    Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

    Very good, I've gone form 23 in Jan to 14.8 today! Always hovered around 23 since I started playing in 2021, had monthly lessons from October to March and since then my game has improved massively. Only had 1 lesson since March but going to do the same monthly lessons from October until the...

    Think we all have the same mate 😂 Mine always moans about going in fairway bunkers even if he hits a good drive. I tell him that courses are set up so that fairway bunkers are usually at average driver distance so bring them into paly, therefore by going in one you have actually hit a shot...
