So my dad (80) gifted me a bag of very, very ragged lake balls. Including a spraypainted 'refurbished ProV1' which had a Topflite logo coming through the paint!! So, I popped down the store where he got them and traded them in for a really nice Footjoy glove. Happy days.

I already mentioned my favorite (Minch Old) but wanted to mention that they fellows in my group unanimously called out their favorite that we've played: Carlyon Bay in Cornwall. A clifftop, rolling course, with a nice US style parkland stretch on the back 9. I really liked it, they really LOVED it.

Quick question, slightly off topic: how does Rushmere stack up with Purdis heath? I am eyeing up a Ipswich area tour next year, and Rushmere would be more on budget for our group.

Really? I think you're being a bit silly. But not the silliest ever, I don't think. Too few results for that.

Nicklaus most succesful ever, Woods best player ever. If you don't understand the distinction: for a long time in snooker Stephen Hendry was the most succesful but Ronnie O'Sullivan was the best player ever - now Ronnie owns both crowns. Another example: in Chess for a long time Kasparov was...

Minchinhampton Old, just the best walk, part of the community, naturally part of the landscape. Challenging and fun but not too demanding. Played it in May with whispey grass along the fairways. Affordable too and a great pub just off 18 to top it off. I second those giving Cleeve Hill a shout...

Lot's of good advice here already. So at the risk of advice overkill, here's how we got an absolute beginner to be able to function in our group of mediocre golfers: - He got some lessons - Bought a cheap set of second hand clubs with some advice from me - I advised him to use: high lofted...

Surely we do. Although I wouldn't play that format at The Old Course or similar. But on an interesting, yet affordable course, we enjoy it. So far our matches have been on the Eden Course (St Andrews), Mullion Golf Club, and Cleeve Hill. None of those are courses I would necessarily need to play...

For our annual match we play Greensomes. We match the best player with the worst, and then the middle two together. This is fairest. We all tee off, then each team picks the best drive, and continue alternate shot until holing out. This is a very quick format, which helps us play difficult...

I am seeing the Cleveland XL2 driver at very reasonable prices. Around Eur 240 at major retailers over here in mainland Europe. Also the 2024-2025 Mizuno drivers for under Eur 300. Overall, I am seeing slightly lower prices on golf clubs this fall, compared to the last two years. I think folks...

I follow some clubs in Fife on Facebook, and seeing the prices for things like Sunday lunch and evening meals - I would be in there all the time :)

I need to test that in real conditions, but the flight is pretty high - it is 25 degrees after all.

Indeed, that's the vibe I am going for. I will post a photo ASAP!
