    Golf Monthly Top 100

    that would make it worse for me rhododendrons are like a magnet for my golf balls :) :) I will play it again, as i think my opinion is unfair as the condition of the course was terrible. Just its a hefty price tag considering my first experience was so poor

    Golf Monthly Top 100

    100% agree about Woburn, I did play it in the winter months which will affect my opinion but when i played there it was not good, could barely stand up with how wet and muddy it was

    Golf Monthly Top 100

    i was just looking at the Top 100 golf courses list, i know its all subjective but that has to be the worst top 100 list i have ever seen. No idea how they have ranked those courses the one that stands out as absolutely crazy is the Addington at 37 in England. I know its subjective but this is...

    Difference between men’s and ladies clubs

    My wife uses mizuno JPX forged just with a light graphite sr reg shaft, which were fitted for her. exactly the same heads as i used to use, with extra small grips. so i assume they are the same i know her driver was a Ladies driver but the only thing i notice that is different to the mens...

    'Mini' Hybrid

    My old Callaway apex pro was a very similar shape to that.... not sure about the brand new ones but cant imagine they have changed much

    Would you pay £350 to play Royal Lytham?

    100% yes played it once (didnt pay that actually got a four ball for £500), and it my favourite course i have ever played. would go back in a heart beat, especially if its for a one off bucket list. People can say no they wouldn't pay it, but got to face facts if you are going to play these...

    Algarve courses

    That’s the beauty of golf course reviews its opinion and everyone should form their own opinion. My opinion based on when I payed there it was the most overrated course Ive played and condition was terrible. Hope it’s got better and hopefully arrow will invest the money needed

    Algarve courses

    Landed back last night back from Algarve, I echo all the comments from the above. Any of the QDL courses are great but they are becoming quite pricey and busy but are definately the best kept courses round Vilamora. Old Course has had a lot of work done to it in recent years and the standard...

    Tag Heuer Connected

    My Wife bought me one for my birthday, I sent it back as everyone above said its beautiful but its a Golf GPS watch and id prefer to spend £100 -£200 on a watch with Technology in it rather than £2k. The Technology will change over time making a £2k watch redundant

    golf simulator

    Don't do it!!!!!! I did it in lock down in a pretty similar set up garage height etc, I didn't have the possibility to dig down because the house is 3 floors and the garage is on the middle floor with kitchen in basement. yeah I used it during lock down but could only really use wedges and...

    Time for a new coach?

    They don't seem like the right coach for you I would say move on. We have a few teaching Pro's at our club and each of them teach differently but the two main Pro's are like chalk and cheese. One wants you to have a perfect swing so no matter how good you are starts with getting the...

    Cost of Annual Membership at your Club

    Living in Surrey you don't really get much of a choice of a cheap membership, I pay about £2.4k for a great course / Club, my closest club where you would be better playing in football boots in the Winter is about £1.6K (I think). Id prefer to pay the extra and enjoy the experience but I'm sure...
