We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!
I play at South Beds and enjoy the course very much.
I dont think i would leave my club to join Beds and County but i would have to go back and play well there a few times for me to answer that fairly.
I would consider Millbrook though, a long course but a good mix of holes
I wouldnt want to leave my club to join Chiltern Forrest but like you say, it is a fun course and a fantastic day out. The place left a lasting impression, especially the quirky holes.
Id be very surprised if you were disappointed
Ive played both courses on our reciprocal golf scheme at my club.
You wont go too far wrong with either of these courses but if I had to pick one I would recommend Chiltern Forrest.
Its a little quirky in places but there are some great holes with plenty of drivable par 4s, if only I could hit...
Yeah throw them all in together but some get a head start and some only have to run three quarters of the race.
Just saying women and men play a different game so why try to complicate things by trying to mix it up.
I am all for equality in life but it just doesent exist ingolf.
Women play a different course up there from the reds. Why not make everybody play from the whites in comps and let the handicap system take care of things.
How there are mixed commps i will never know. Huge yardage differences and...
I'm a member at South Beds and played the main coarse this morning. Difficult conditions with the wind being so strong.
I don't play the 9 hole very much but when I do, I'm quite please to play to my handicap. It's not as easy as it looks and the greens are very tricky.
33 points on there is...
A good realistic online price for MP53 3 to pw is about £630.
I'm not sure about the value of X14s but £130 sounds ok to me.
I would say this deal sounds about right. You certainly haven't been ripped off.
I hope you enjoy the clubs
Getting your handicap down can be a slow and painfull process.
If you started at 28 and played 1 under your handicap in every competition, it would take 135 qualifying rounds to get to 0, assuming css was level and you didn't get chopped at the annual review.
I feel the same as you and have...
I've just dropped the prov's and z stars and gone onto Callaway HX hot. They seem to go a long way which helps in winter but not much good in summer because they are so hard.
Re: 3/4 handicap question
The guy at +1 would remain at +1 due to the number being rounded off. There wouldn't be any change in handicap until they reach +3 which would be rounded to +2 off 3/4.
