I got one last week and for the first time ina long time I feel as if I have a keeper. It's the wrong time of the year to tell how it stacks up in terms of distance, but it appears to get out there. More importantly, so far it has been a fairway finder and if in the long run I had to give up a...

Having been closed for two weeks due to rain, they opened it on Wednesday. I popped down yesterday afternoon for 9 holes and found that they have cut the fairways and the tee boxes, so tell me again how wet it was?

The course opened this morning, first time in two weeks. Unfortunately, I won't be taking advantage of this until Friday, unless of course the forecast is wrong, and we have rain of biblical proportions between now and then :mad:

I have an Arlie. I also got it off eBay. It does what it says on the tin.

It does to me. He's like those skinny little mid-teens in the group behind. 5'2" and more fat on a chip, but their ball is constantly landing just behind you 50 yards on from where you have just played your second. Arms like pipe cleaners but send it 280 :mad:

Billingham. On the other side of those trees in the picture is the beck and all of the rainwater falling on the farm land to the west is now cascading down a very swollen beck and as on this occasion spilling over and flooding 11, 12 and the 6th green which is around the corner from these two...

The Latin inscription on the stable belt of the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers ARTE ET MARTE, translates to "Twist to Open".

He was looking at the forecast for this week and next when he made that prediction, though it has only rained for an hour today and the next two days are dry and sunny, so we have an outside chance of getting something open. Not 11 and 12 though. What you see in the picture, besides water...

Same here. The two links courses are open, Seaton and Cleveland, everything else is closed. Our head greenkeeper sent an email out a couple of days ago predicting no golf next week and possibly until the end of the month. But, the snow forecast for last night didn't materialise and besides a...

So is it possible to have a dedicated thread for the PGA and DPWT?

I got to hit my new Ping G440 at the range today (see things that gladden the heart). However, I arrive back home to an email from the Head Greenkeeper containing an update on the course, it's wet, and a prediction based on the weather forecast of when it might open again, definitely not next...

I live about 20 miles away, and it's one of the two courses in the area that I've never played, and strangely I've never had the urge. I worked with a few guys who were members, one a past Captain. Another, along with his three mates all upped sticks and came to our place, he cited the...

So how does that happen then? Who makes the decision, who gets to say "right the PGA is no longer a major, the Players has taken its place. Is it a committee, a referendum of golfers, all golfers, tour golfers? Just wondering how the process works.

I bought a pair of Kingscup last night from County Golf. They are selling them for £39.99. I bought them in a 12,even though I'm normally an 11. I went off their sizing chart as well as the fact that 11's are generally borderline for me.

I have just finished watching Peter Finch on YouTube, playing all 18 at Pebble Beach, trying to break par. I'm not a particularly big fan of him, but lingering, close-ups of all the holes and often from angles rarely seen during a tournament make for a great watch for anyone who is a fan of...
