Thanks for the positive replies gents the £2 is rightfully ours as we said the same as you.With reference to the sorrys I had never partnered the guy before,and on our par four 7th he thinned my tee shot through the back but I was able to chip to a foot.My partner horseshoed the putt and spent...

In a Greensome ie. both players tee off and after selecting the "the best placed ball " alternate shots are played. On our par 5 15th I played my partners drive and due to a nasty bounce the ball lodged halfway up a gorse bush resulting as unplayable. Does my...

There are those who won't play if they suspect it is raining within a ten mile radius of the course.But the worst are those who want to walk in if they are having a bad round and you have a good card going.Then you are left high and dry...or wet as the case may be.

Interesting thread this one...Stromberg are a Yorkshire firm based in Leeds.The MD is a member of Huddersfield GC an excellent course.He also sponsors an exciting prospect on the Europro Tour ..Chris Hanson .It is Hanson who is the model on the Stromberg website and he is based at Crosland Heath...

Definitely not the time for a "summer" putter yet,well certainly not up here in the frozen wastes of West Yorkshire. I played in a comp last Saturday in decent dry conditions and the lightweight soft faced putter I had on board just would not get the ball to the hole.This resulted in an outbreak...

The literal meaning of the latin phrase "Sine die" is without a specified date.In our local football circles if a player is banned sine die it means he aint ever going to play in this town again. Lets hope if the miscreants threats were of such magnitude then he should...

I was once on the wrong end of a club throwing incident,a guy on the opposite side of the green to me duffed a chip and in his frustration hurled his wedge into the air. It helicoptered it,s way towards me and landed almost on my shins.He wandered across in a semi sheepish manner and said how...

Sorry Connor I misled you the first three holes are before you cross the road.Then seven along the cliff tops before the last eight back inland. They have a good website which is worth a look.All the best on the comp day

Yes sir I have on a few occasions,it is not a links course as you would imagine a true Scottish type links to be. As I remember the first two holes out from the club house are on a parkland type layout ,you then cross quite a busy main road and onto the cliff tops. This...

You are in for a treat my friend,I played La Quinta on Feb 4th.There are 3 loops of 9 and I played B and C. On loop C there are a couple of steep holes especially the last which will really test your legs as you complete your round. Plenty of water hazards about to test your...

I totally agree with Madandra that if push came to shove etc. Most Yorkshiremen are of the theory that Sheffield is the largest city in Derbyshire and not the Peoples Republic of South Yorkshire.Also was it not P.G.Wodehouse who said it is not difficult to differentiate between a Scotsman with a...

Like Parmo a proud Yorkshireman...we often get forms etc to fill in at the Uni I work at.Wherever I see the nationality part that says are you British or other I always put English and it pi55es them off no end. We only seem to be British when a Scotsman wins a medal at the Olympics and we...

I am just back from a weeks golfing on the Costa del Sol,great to play in the sun..no wind or rain and able to play without six layers of clothing. However I saw something on the first tee at La Quinta that was quite upsetting.The fourball in front of me all teed off ,all golfers of a...

A good point well made Mr Mad ,Im off to the Costa Del Sol on Sunday for a week in hopefully dry and gale free weather to get away from such threads. I will be playing at La Quinta ,Los Arqueros and Los Naranjos ..booked them over t'internet any one know if they are ok.
