My club has just introduced an 8 month Fair Weather package almost. Your membership runs from March to October and you only pay the % of those months.

Was going to say a big difference is clubs there 40yds between clubs. Does this mean you hit your 9 iron over 170yds?

I think though your are actually seeing a course set up to combat the big hitting players. In the past we have had big comps where the second cut is almost as good as a fairway. I am enjoying seeing them playing on tight courses and mad rough like many courses people on here play week in week...

New club still gaining members but not enough to apply for CONGU affiliation, hence no handicaps for any members unless they are members of another club as well.

My club is a new one so have no handicaps in place as it is new and growing to recording my scores and averaging them out to give an unoffical

It is the attitude that leads to name calling that is the issue, why do you have to call anyone a name who is not as good as you? Someone is not as good as you so what why call them a name? We have on other threads touched on what people see as eliteism, is this not just another form of it?

sydney greenstreet 3 different names here for players not deemed as good as the poster. That is encouraging to new players is it? Sorry must have a different meaning north of the border for encouragement.

End of the day,no matter how slow or fast you play just be aware of the speed of play around you. Let faster groups through, make sure you follow the course etiquette and surely then faster players like thecraw can play his sub 3 hour rounds, slower players who want to take longer can enjoy...

Now what do you use to decide which are rubbish? Price? See then you might get into the elitist argument.

On this point though surely if lots of clubs close this will cause a lack of competition therefore prices will go up further as people would have less choice so clubs might think 'Ahh we can get more out of those that want to play'. You might be happy to pay your fees now but what if all clubs...

So as the title says what the best wind assisted shot you have ever played. I was out yesterday in a fair breeze and came to the par 4 250yd 3rd. So wind was difficult to judge and it is quite tight so thought I would play safe and hit a 4 iron off the tee. So I hit it straight, which is...

Was out for 9 holes yesterday and out for 18 tomorrow morning so should be fun. Just feet up watching sport today F1 the the Players later!

On the AG honesty. I went in and tried some new clubs. Told them what I wanted and tried a few out. The ones he recommended for me in the end were the cheapest set, he told me the shaft, weight etc suited my swing. I ended up with a new set of Yonex VXF and after a lesson with my pro recently I...

Well for me; Rose Rory Oosthuizen Ernie Tiger now he is playing well. As for ugly you got to throw Jim Furyk's in there

I am at a club where we are growing we do not even have official handicaps yet, so no comps. I don't have experience of comps yet but I still play against friends and other members and it is competitive. I do look forward to the day I play in them but I still play golf against others.
