It sounds like you play with the same people regularly. So why not take it in turns of who buys the one round after after each round? That way you all end up “buying one back”, you don’t end up over the limit, potentially losing your licence, or worse - causing a serious accident because your...

Again my confusing has gone through the roof now. So you’re trying to say that a 15 handicapper standard in a par 3 tee box with absolutely no concept that his handicap will allow him to make a 4 on the hole and come away with a net par unless there was an explain to explain this? Your score...

The more I read this thread the more confused I get. Surely these people are quitting the game because golf is genuinely hard and they either don’t have the time to commit to practicing or just can’t get it. I would say the number of people quitting off a handicap of 28 because they didn’t know...

I don’t really understand where you’re coming from. Surely anyone with a card in their hand already knows what’s needed on each hole to get a net par depending into heir handicap? I would be very surprised if any handicap golfer (say mid to high) was under the impression they had to par every...

Cheers! This brings up another question… the organiser said it was not a handicap qualifier. I want to enter my score as a supplementary card but I’m unable to do so on the Wales Golf app. What’s the best way of me doing this?

Just back from the event at West Hill, what a golf course! It was immaculate and looked amazing with all the heather (which I mainly managed to stay out of ?) I’d certainly recommend it to anyone looking to play in the area. I played the best I have in a while. My partner and I had a decent 36...

Similar to some advice I read from Ian Poulter previously. He said that he often hears people say “right let’s get this sorted on the back 9 then” but by then it’s too late. So he draws lines under every 3 holes on his card

Hi mate, yes it’s still going. This is my third one. Played at Pannal in 2017, Hollinwell in 2018, missed 2019 as my daughter was born and obviously covid put a stop to 2020! It’s still a team event, St Andrews foursomes in the morning then then individual stableford in the afternoon. Did you...

I played Ashburnham a few weeks ago with a mate of who I haven’t seen or played golf with in ages. I was asked to play in big group of his mates. Parred the first. Nailed the drive on the second so thought I’d arrived. Shanked my wedge in to the green almost out of bounds. Walked up to my ball...

Has anyone played at West Hill golf club before? I’m playing there in the Institution of Civil Engineers annual tournament in about a week. It looks like a stunning course, par 69 not overly long, but with a slope rating of 132 from the yellows it must be quite tricky?

I played the PGA National and the derby last year. My thoughts are pretty much the same as others here. The PGA is a tough course and I enjoyed it. The derby is not great. You get treated very well, I’m not sure if I was looking in the wrong place or whatever but there wasn’t much Ryder Cup...

That’s exactly what happened to me. 6 of us booked in a few years ago the day before New Year’s Eve. It was absolutely freezing, about -2 when we got there. Me and my mate when up in the same car and we got there, we found out that our 4 mates who had arrived some time before us were playing...

Personally I would say that other members would have more right to be p****d off with one person taking up four slots during a weekend comp because they fancy a knock on their own. By your logic, where do you draw the line? If you’re booked in with your mate and there’s 2 spaces free with you...

I agree with this. As others have said, we play a pairs match play during each comp to keep it interesting. But surely the the thing at the forefront of your mind needs to be your card? Again, as others have said, a putt for a half in match play is easier than a putt for par or bogey as you...

The green fee for number 1 wasn’t an option after the better half’s maternity leave, followed by furlough since March on 80% of maternity leave due to a mistake in accounts. As I’m sure sure people on here would know, 80% of next to nothing, is pretty much nothing ?
