    GPS vs. Laser Rangefinders What Do You Actually Use on the Course?

    I wear and watch, carry a laser and had a trolley with GPS and still not made my mind up 😁 New trolley does not have GPS, so down to two devices and when it's an open fairway, I don't bother, but tend to use the laser if judging hazard distances. For greens, I tend to focus on the back...

    Random Irritations

    Long delivery windows, resulting in you staying indoors half the day, or missing the parcel nipping out.

    Christmas 2025

    It's nice to receive gifts, however, many just don't want what is bought for them. We have 4 adult kids, their spouses and their kids (our grandkids), so we gave each an equal amount as a cash gift, but my wife puts together a personal 'bag of sh1te' for each person, simply as a...

    Random Irritations

    How anyone could 'flex' about going shopping is way past my understanding. Surprised they could delay leaving their parking spot, with cleaning and the washing up to do at home :ROFLMAO:

    Random Irritations

    This thread is for personal random irritations, so who am I, or anyone else, to question someones irritation :ROFLMAO: Anyway, I'm currently irritated at having to reset a billion elements in our home after a 10 hour power cut yesterday.

    Random Irritations

    Not as much as those who can't use Google for all of 12 seconds 😁

    A power cut is when you discover nowhere sells candles. Ordered a curry - it's ok, I have a head torch...

    Christmas 2025

    Chilling today following the works do. Only 4 of us, treated to a stay in a lovely 5 star hotel/spa, plus an 11 course tasting menu at Great British Menu chef, Andy Sheridan's intimate place. Full fat hotel breakfast this morning concluded a great way to spend 24 hours or so.

    Films

    Just watched F1 and thought it was a cracking film (Apple TV).

    Membership Quandary

    Thanks all and some extreme comments :ROFLMAO: Yes there’s a community, but none will become my besties after being there a short time. Most members are much older. Nothing wrong with trying to improve. Lessons are a mix of indoor trackman and course play, so no boring ranges. Cost at the...

    Membership Quandary

    It's that time of year I have to make my mind up and I can't... I've been a member of a club for two years, which was the start of my golfing journey. Gained my handicap, then started to play in comps - hang on, what are those white markers we have to play from back there :oops: and my...

    Waterproof jacket and trousers recommendations

    My club pro recommended these and they were massively reduced in Scottsdale sale, but I'm still saving up for a Peter Millar set.

    Christmas 2025

    At our age is all about the others, so Christmas Eve at ours, Christmas dinner hosted by one daughter and Boxing Day back at ours. Day after Boxing Day we all go out, on us. The remainder of the holidays continue just spending the time with our kids and grandkids.

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    Didn't play as I gave up after a bad run of games a few weeks ago. Committed to lessons and practice for the next 8 weeks instead and today got off to a fantastic start with irons. It just all clicked and a consistent draw, with plus 10 yards per club - bonkers, but happy.
