    Waterproof jacket and trousers recommendations

    Adidas Rain Rdy jacket and trousers bought combined for £150 ish are perfect for me. Jacket actually has a hood which is unusual but handy and can easily be used off course also. When I purchased looked at reviews and it was implied that it had many features of the more expensive offers on the...

    North Wales Golf

    That’s a shame, I get the feeling it gets a lot of repeat business (we booked again whilst there for this year) might be worth giving them a call asking for other recommendations where to stay as they are very knowledgeable about golf in the area. Worth bearing in mind that around Criccieth...

    North Wales Golf

    Out of the two loved Porthmadog again stunning views and some really interesting holes. Pwllheli is unusual as the 1st eight holes are parkland then you play along the coast and it transition to links. All 3 are worth playing. We stayed at Plas Isa Hotel in Criccieth owned by keen golfers and...

    North Wales Golf

    Played Nefyn last year during September. The Point was available to play for free after a certain time in the day (late afternoon). To be honest a lot of the “Old Nine” were damaged in storms a couple of years ago and as such condition wise, no where near as good as the main course. The Point is...

    I bought today.....

    Bought last week and used yesterday. A MacGregor V Max Speed Driving Iron. If I’m honest purchased more though hope rather than expectation as a bit of an experiment. I have rather a love hate relationship with hybrids (especially off the tee, may as well shout “fore left” in my downswing). Any...

    Funny things kids say...

    If only this was how it worked. Sat down for Sunday lunch today and the youngest asked “who decides when Easter is?” Think he was trying to understand why sometimes he is on holiday from school for his birthday and sometimes not. Quick as a flash eldest says “it’s up to the Pope and how much...

    Do I not like that....

    Allegedly changed his flip flops in the car park also.

    Do I not like that....

    Folks that stand on the tee and laser every feature in front of them, from flags, to trees, to bunkers, to players in front, to mole hills….. hours later with the understanding exceeding that of an ordnance survey cartographer they usually slice into the nearest bush 🤷‍♂️

    Do I not like that....

    I once got challenged in a club car park by a member because the gilet I was wearing was non golf attire. It was a plain Castore gilet with the branding written in small letters on the shoulder. The interaction lasted seconds and I just laughed it off as I walked to the 1st. Half an hour later...

    Do I not like that....

    I get more concerned when I’m hitting my 2nd with a 5i into a par 3 if I’m honest 🤣

    Do I not like that....

    200 yard par 3 1st hole over a ravine. Normally wind into also just for laughs.

    Sky...

    Much as I hate the business models of Sky and Virgin, they are fundamentally interested in how much they can make from each contract and if they believe you won’t leave them, they will squeeze for as much as they can. We’re currently with Virgin Media for everything. 500mb BB, Netflix, Sky...

    Horologists thoughts

    Have a look at the Orient Kamasu also. Can be picked up for around £200 and a great daily watches. In house movement, sapphire glass and hacking.

    Fractured pinky

    I know you shouldn’t laugh and I truly have sympathy to anybody that’s injured….. but I honestly thought this thread was going to be about the demise of a much loved castle tee 🤣🤣🤣

    Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

    So proud of my Dad. He was the inspiration for me take up this crazy game at the age of 48 after seeing how active he is after playing for over 40 years. Over the last few years he’s had hip problems that have really effected his game, but also perhaps understandably his ability to compete. Last...
