    Nine Holes in Sheffield or Chesterfield Area

    Tapton has a 9 hole academy course as well as the main course which comes back to the car park/club house after 9. Birley also laid out to just play front 9. Rother valley par 3 is good, most holes 100yds or less.

    Masters 2020

    Irritates the ? out of me why they don’t show it all live. The best golf tournament in the world is producing some thrilling golf and nobody can watch it.

    And The Point Of A Range Is?.................

    I love the range, more than playing sometime. Only 3 ranges in Sheffield with 2 of them a bit poor, the one I go to is £8 for 180 balls if the mood takes you and they are always good quality balls and mats. No top tracer or auto tees but good wide field and lots of target greens. I think hitting...

    Is the golf playing season over?

    Embrace autumn/winter golf I say. A different challenge, easier in some cases when the tees are moved up, the greens receptive and no hard fairways on my aching feet. What’s the alternative? Shopping? DIY? Chores? ?

    New Shaft or New Club?

    Wow, good work right there! When the same happened to me, twice ??, I sent the head back to ping to be reshafted as it was cheaper than buying a new iron and I kept the same spec as the rest of my irons.

    Smoking Ban
