Jates12 I highly recommend Pete Allan at Ashton in Makerfield which is drivable from you up M6. He has a teaching studio with all tech, responds to emails ( and even comments helpfully on my social media moans about my bad days!) and is known in the area as the guy to go to even from other clubs.

No. This is not right at all. But as you find him the best teacher why not take a diary and insist he books all the dates for the course in at once so you need not chase him? If he resists that explain he may lose you as a student otherwise.

I am about to play in my first comp after getting my 36 handicap. . Post Equality Act my club has converted most of the traditional men's weekend comp to a Club comp to give equal access to the course to women. Men off whites women off reds. I've signed up to play with one other woman in a Club...

I started to play in June last year in a beginners group in which we mainly play evening 9 hole Texas scrambles with 3 beginners to one 'experienced player' once per week. Then recently been invited to play in a regular 18 hole Stableford weekend roll up with experienced players. I reckon that's...

Ha! That's me in my place 🙂

How about saying 'Wow! That looked great to me. Are you happy with it?' Then you'd get to know the standard they apply to themselves and can adapt comments accordingly.

Sorry. Misread it. Peril of popping on to see what's going on here whilst walking down corridors at work!!

How?!!

I'd not heard of this service although I'd be very interested. I know as a woman getting stronger is going to help me get to my best game. I got the book if the strength training regime Annika Sorensten used but I am sure it would be better to have something personalised to a part time amateur...

Amen brother !! 😀😀

So let's say me with my 36 handicap and my female friend playing off 14. Let's assume we both need one extra shot on each hole on the mens course. On a men's course we should both play with a 28 ( maximum) is that what you mean?

It's interesting that the split in answers to my question is all about the tees and not the principle of women joining in which is pleasing. I confess my first instinct was that if in a comp with men it should be the same tees for parity. That feels right - if we want to be treated the same...

Done. Also willing to pilot.
