    LIV Golf

    DeChambeau will pull in the fans & increase TV viewers like no other player. He was obviously not amused by the condition of the last Liv course in Mexico. I have no doubt he is looking to get out of Liv & the PGA will be desperate to get him back. I'd like to see Rahm & Hatton back as well. The...

    Don't think many will be booking their plane ticket.

    LIV Golf

    Not weird at all. I want to see all the best players competing.in one tour. LIV had harmed the competitiveness of all who went except maybe a couple. LIV has brought nothing good to the game I hope it closes down.

    LIV Golf

    No, they went for the money. Nothing else.

    LIV Golf

    I'd be highly delighted if LIV stopped. Other than make some very rich golfers even more wealthy, it has brought nothing worthwhile to professional golf. Nobody remembers or cares who won the last LIV event.

    Annual subscription 2026

    Yes, it's that simple. I used to love everything about the place, but a combination of issues has blunted my enjoyment. I have played maybe 4x times since October, OK the weather has been bad, but tbh I haven't missed playing. So yeah, £1,500 is just too much I can do so much other stuff with...

    Probably my last year at mine Ours went up around 6% to £1,426.00 When it breaks through the £1,500.00 mark I'm off, either to a cheaper club or nomad.

    The Footie Thread

    Football in general has a huge problem with costs / recruitment & quality. There are in my opinion very few genuine quality players available, especially for the lower placed teams. I watched the Spurs game the other night, they were abysmal, the worst Spurs team I've ever seen. There are too...

    Fuerteventura

    Played it loads of times There is a free shuttle bus that goes between all the hotels & is bang on time I usually stay at Alba Palace (on the golf course) the hotel & food are lovely The course is OK. For holiday golf it's fine, apart from the bunkers which are terrible, hard mud rather than...

    Winter handicapping

    I've been a member of my club for 10 years It's a parkland course Every year between about the 2nd week of Dec through to the end of March (sometimes April) the course is virtually unplayable for handicap golf. Yet my club runs qualifiers right through the year, even if its temporary greens...

    Thinking of a new course

    I looked at our pricing tonight, it's mental. 7 day membership is £1,426.00 5 day is about £100 cheaper, but if you want to play on a weekend they also want £32.00 green fee. Flexi is £725.00 with a £14.00 Mon to Fri Green fee & £16.00 on Sat & Sun. I worked out, if you didn't play Nov / Dec /...

    Thinking of a new course

    Yes, the drainage problem is being addressed, no there aren't any plans or space to improve the practice facilities. I'm not a great winter golfer anyway, so the drainage problem isn't much of a concern for me. I think I have reached the point where I am questioning the value for money I get...

    Thinking of a new course

    So iv'e just renewed the golf club membership for me & the wife on 1st Jan. It's cost me just shy of £3,000 Now my current club is ok. The good bits It is quite long but it's fairly flat, so a relatively easy walk. It's a good challenge The condition is ok (not brilliant, but acceptable) The...

    I've quit senior golf

    That is exactly the point I never enter a comp or a match with an expectation of winning or even being in the top 6. But, I have to believe that if I play well, then maybe I have a chance. Why enter anything when you know that even if you break the course record (never going to happen) you...

    I've quit senior golf

    Interesting comments guys. It obviously varies from club to club & no doubt there are some who haven't experienced what I have. To put my comments into context. I had a discussion the other day where I commented to a senior section official that I think our course ground conditions are usually...
