Do you mind reporting back how it all goes? I'm off to Praia del Rey for 7 nights from 16th September. Are you playing West Cliffs as well?

Just been saying it out loud and I think I pronounce it more like 'Gullun' but that might just be my mackem accent :LOL:

Agree with this, it's a cracking course. Played Muirfield yesterday and Silloth back in September and I honestly prefer the latter.

I'm a Parish member at Gullane and have heard a few people pronounce it 'Gillin', but most people I've encountered in Gullane and North Berwick call it 'Gullin'. From what I can discern it's the old money type of guys that pronounce it the former way. Though I played up at Muirfield yesterday...

Yeah I'm wondering which measurement is more accurate, or if AG do anything sneaky to inflate their figures so you think you're hitting it further than you actually are.

Last week I saw a couple of guys blasting round Gullane in one of these each: https://e-caddy.com/shop/ I actually thought they would be dearer than they are. Looked like a lot of fun to use. One of the models you can get a second seat or a cool box installed as part of it.

Does anyone know how ball speed relates to club head speed? I had a fitting at American Golf the other day and my ball speed was 156mph with ~260 yards of carry, however the stated clubhead speed was only 97mph which doesn't make a lot of sense as that's giving a smash factor of 1.6 but I...

I've been having lessons from Pete now for 4 years and can highly recommend. The new set up they've got at Swanston is nearly complete and looks like it's going to be class too.

That was incredible. What a way to introduce Ryder Cup week too. 🐯🌹🐯🌹

Fairly sure they do but think they might be full at the moment. Worth a shot though!

I've got a pair of Maui Jims (Stingray for golf) and can't fault them. Definitely worth the extra IMO and should last a while.

This - if it's the same as what we play. Essentially Texas Scramble but only pairs instead of 4 per team. Means that everyone gets a shot and you can be tactical in your strategy too. Also a lot of fun making it a team sport. Every year we go to Portugal as an 8 ball and have a Ryder Cup style...

Foxy? Would be destined for Showbiz!

I've just traded in my set of Ping G20 irons (4-PW) for £290. Not bad considering I bought them brand new 2 years ago for £330!
