    Par 3 courses,do you play them?

    Every now and then i pop down to Paulton Park's par three for a practise on my short game and for £10 if it's not busy you can go round all you want.

    IS THIS THE GAME FOR ME

    I was speaking with a fellow golfer who asked me what i did after a round. i replied saying that sometimes a drink and a chat, a break for sandwich after nine. it depended on what time i had left. sometimes i just enjoy a round and go home. He said no wonder clubs are struggling if all golfers...

    What do you prefer?

    Can only play on days off and usually take the wife to work so around 10 is ideal ,Problem is the traffic,its so busy you have to leave far to early if teeing off earlier but sometimes i fit in 9 holes after 5 when time allows. ------------ Callaways H/C 22.2 just

    Hi Viscount, Just to let you know that last week i visited Teeofftimes and no need to use vouchers, it was cheaper through them. yesterday 8/7/10 a round of golf £10 at local course Quindell. started looking for next week. Callaways still in the bag. 22.2 should do better.

    Practice

    Hi everyone, Being new to the game i usually go down to the range and try and practice as though i am playing around of golf. Not the usual 4 hrs may i say. I pick a course that i've played and see how i go. I always seem to do well on the range and hope to put into practice what i have learnt...

    GreenFree - and other discount vouchers

    Hi fellow golfer, I recently stopped being a member of a club and have reverted to pay and play. I find these vouchers to be a great help, you do have to double check with the club or their website to see when they can be used. Also sometimes the weather dictates their use and I have lost a few...

Any recommends of known reliable...
