    Booking system v no booking system

    I can see the benefit of both. but. for working people (myself included) it's now impossible to get a Saturday or sunday morning round. This week i was awake at 05:30, as it goes live at 6am for 7 days ahead. thought I'll get a round next week easy... logged on 6am.. all fully booked instantly...

    unsure of the point of this membership

    For me i think its a no-no. i dont play in or want to play in opens etc. just play casual golf. so even at the price seems a bit of a waste. also it doesnt benefit you in the tee booking stakes either, So personally not a starter really. But onwards and downwards :) back to the range Now i do...

    Yeah thats what i dont understand, they aint struggling, they have or had a 3 year waiting list for membership, always busy, american gold and trackman range on site. i dont know their financial state but seems a bit strange

    unsure of the point of this membership

    ah i see. comparing to others it does seem cheap. The two of us would struggle to use the free rounds tho, as you just cant get on. So effectively we're saying its not a proper golf club membership. just a way to grab nomads, give them an affiliation, to enter comps elsewhere. im unlikely to...

    Not sure about the App thing. all they have said is that they will send your scores to Golf England for a handicap. Im not fully sure how that works. No mention of Igolf?

    Been playing for over a year now at Pytchley. and it is very popular. can be tricky to book online. However a few weeks ago up at the range we noticed a £99 membership, with either 6 x 9 hole or 3 x 18 hole free, and if you hand in your scorecards, they will sort out a handicap. Also free entry...

    Do i renew or not

    Im the same with Brampton grange. lovely course, always seems friendly, but you just cant get a round... online members booking always full, same names almost daily. seem to have it booked months in advance. So i guess its not for me.. i love playing at Pytchley, its got a 7 year waiting list...

    New golfer

    Was given great advice by a plus 4 handicapper when in started out. Book a couple of lessons, not too many at once... then go away for a couple of weeks and work on what those lessons have taught you. Then book a couple more, and again go away for a few weeks to just work on that part. saves...

    Booking system v no booking system

    Club i play at has now become victim to a large group of members abusing the booking system. Not sure if this is widespread. I like the booking system. I thought it stopped course hogging, but clearly as there is no starter hut at the course, people just rock up, and and then do what they want...

    Booking system v no booking system

    the 2 clubs i play regularly are constantly fully booked. one allows bookings 3 weeks in advance. but if you look, its the same people booking the same time every single day, then some non member society will have booked out 10-15 tee times from mid morning. The other is now getting to be the...

    for those of us high scorers

    yup decision making was and probably still is a thing. I've started however playing most holes as par 5's which seems to relax my game. i mainly use the 3 wood off a white castle tee, and get 180 - 200 yards, straightish. but yeah sometimes the driver is too much temptation. and i just go for...

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

    lost no balls.. but found 3, including one left in a bunker, a bright pink one on the fairway, and a nice callaway just off the fairway. Did check no one was playing the other way.

    for those of us high scorers

    Helloo As a player who Never scores below 100, but have stopped going over 110... what it is that stops us getting better scores. is it fairway play. putting? With me its mainly fairway play, my putting is good, mostly 2's occasionally 3. but fairway play is a bit dire. scuffs, runners. ground...

    Benefits of being a member?

    just to clear up a couple of points.... NO i dont expect the course to be empty! i would have trouble joining a regular group, as i work odd shifts so try to play when i can, hence i cant book far in advance and if you read the thread, rather than just launch an attack, then im stating its...
