They are currently building a driving range in the middle of Bootle and because of this they will be creating a new 1st hole and a new green for the 9th. There is also a new club house being built and all this is supposed to be completed by Oct 11. In the meantime it's all a bit of a mess.

We came so close last time, so I'm in.

Arrived an hour early at a club i hadn't played before, after having a sandwich in the car, i got out of the car and locked the door only to see the keys still in the ignition, with my clubs, shoes etc still in the boot, with now only 1/2 an hour until my tee time. i phoned the breakdown people...

Just for the record, Nick Dougherty, first started playing golf on a municipal in Liverpool which had bone hard greens in the summer, and very often the bunkers weren't raked. That said, Alliss is right the golf wasn't great. I managed to catch the last 45 minutes on Thursday, and only saw 2...

Great Idea. I'll will be at The Open, 1 practise day & the Saturday, so count me in.

Had Jimenez, Casey, Doughty, A Hanson. I estimate that this should get me about 140ish points. let down by Els & Westwood. Looking at some of the big names that missed the cut, i'm hoping it's a low scoring week.

Played in our invitation today, struck the ball great, but i knew it was going to be a tough day, when i creamed a driver, on this 200yd par 3 and didn't make the green. Also hit driver on 2 of the 3 remaining par 3's. But the course was in great nick, and my guest really enjoyed the day, so result.

Sounds Painful. I once cut the fleshy pad of my thump on a sharp knive when doing the dishes, the day before i was going on a golfing holiday. still tried to play but the after 4 holes the cut opened up and my glove was bright red after 8. needless to say, I don't wash dishes a week before any...

Well done AF. Whats your new Hcp going to be?

Well done Barb, Here's hoping you reach your goal of 25 hcp.

I once played in an open fourball comp, and one of the guys had put a spike in the bottom of a rubber range tee and used for the full round, consistantly hitting his drives around 280yds.

Welcome to the Forum. I would recommend joining and do it asap. If you join part way through the year most clubs will pro-rata the joining fees. I don't think you would get bored playing the same course, and if you do feeling like playing other courses you could always play in inter club...

I know the title doesn't sound like anything to do with Golf, but Walkers Crisps are running a scheme for days out and if you go into the following website: www.brittips.co.uk Then key in "GOLF" in the search facilty you can get: 2 for 1 vouchers for 10 points. You will also get a link to...

Sorry to rub it in, but i was out playing today. First round of the singles match play. Got beat 3&2 (bad putting), but i didn't care because it's the first time this year that i haven't been wearing my water proofs. As for what to do. It's nearly the weekend, so start think about how well...
