    North West Winter Course

    Thanks mate. I take it they don't insist on fairway mats there then?

    North West Winter Course

    I think all of them are mats only by the looks of it.

    Ryder Cup 2023 - Italy

    Does anyone know if there’ll be FM radio on course with live commentary? There’ll be commentary on the app but it’s reliant on signal plus it’s at least a minute behind..

    Ryder Cup 2023 - Italy

    He wasn’t leading when I was there. It also isn’t hard saying hello and shaking peoples hands pre round. It’s normal in golf so nothing out of the norm. Added to that it’s just basic manners and courtesy.

    Ryder Cup 2023 - Italy

    Watched him live at the open this year on the first tee. He completely ignored the scorekeeper and bunker raker. Walked past them like they weren’t even there. Ignored the other players on the tee. He did it again watching the other days on tv. Seemed like an ignorant man to be honest. Every...

    Algarve

    Hi all, heading to the Algarve this year for our first golf trip there. The cost of golf for the premium courses seem very expensive. Can anyone recommend any more 'budget' courses that are hidden gems (around £70 max including buggy hire)? Out of three rounds we'll probably go with a couple...

    Electric Trolley questions

    Might be wrong but not in my experience. Manufacturers usually discount the current product then the new product usually goes in at at similar RRP to the previous version. If not the same it’s only usually slightly higher.
