Blimey, full throttle is an appropriate name!!! I thought I was feeling knackered :D Davem, i do indeed have the bug. I'm aware a fall is due my way, it's been too good a week. Nice to feel I'm starting to put it together tho, I guess it's now about keeping the expectations in check :)

Evening all, thought I'd say hello and tell you about the 81 holes of golf I've played since last Saturday, but I'll try to keep it short :D My main goal this year was to break 100, & once I did, to satisfy my gas with some new irons, however, i somehow found myself kitted out with new clubs...

As you might know ;) i played my first links last week at Littlestone and loved it but I agree, it's feels like a different game. A couple of years of being into golf, I now understand why the Open is so special. Watching Darren Clarke plot his way round was an education. I love the constant...

I can only speak for myself, but I loved them when i got them and love them even more now, about 2 months later. I've been keeping up the lessons, which obviously helps, but my scores have been getting better since I got them. Definitely not falling out of love with them here. If anything, I'm...

Hello Iku, Just to re-affirm what others have said, really.. Got 4 hrs of lessons with my Pro for Xmas, which showed that I'd developed my own fancy style in the time since I'd last seen him.. Had the same kind of thing, went from putting the ball at least somewhere near where I intended to...

Thanks for the replies folks... Snaphookwedge, indeed was scary looking at it. The flag was sorta front-right, which IIRC meant that a little right would be in a deep bunker. Since my recent couple of lessons i've been catching more irons sweetly, and this was certainly one of them.. As for the...

Thanks very much Chris.. It keeps on giving, still running into golf buddies I haven't told yet! Craig.

Hey smiffy, I could try!! Far too excited to notice at that point :D We at least waited 'til we were off the green before doin' a little dance! Here's a couple more: This wasn't the deepest one of the day! Look, no trees... Craig

Hello all, As you may know from my previous post, my lady Jules and I were heading to Dungeness to visit the RSPB site today, and, thanks to the many recommendations, I spent yesterday (Saturday) playing 27 holes, the front 9 of Littlestone Warren, followed by the main event, 18 around...

Hello all, Thanks so much for the tip, had a great time indeed! Will post my experience elsewhere, (and what a tale), but here's a couple of pics: View of the 17th tee (and a terrified practice swing)... ..as well as my happy face after my first eagle, by way of my first ace on the 6th...

This is 2 minutes from my place of work. When we moved to here, I thought sweet. I've played 1 9 hole round after work since, and despite buying a range card for practice, have only used 3 buckets, as I'd rather drive further out the way for nicer place to be. I feel I'm being harsh, but having...

Bang on! I know there are limits, but I struggle to reign it in too! Craig

Seen the review / pics in the forum, I see what you mean :D I noticed you're not one to sit on the fence, Smiffy! Thanks again all, Craig.

When reading up before buying mine, the long putt distance control issue seemed to come up a lot. I've had it a coupla months now, and had a half hour lesson just after getting it. I must say i surprise myself at how well it seems to work, 3 putts are rare now, and (almost) always my fault. :D...

Thank you all, Littlestone it is! Gonna set the lady off to look for somewhere to stay for the 2 nights. Very grateful indeed. Any recommendations on hotels / BnB's? ;) Craig [edit] Oh yeah, my lady spotted Lydd when we had the initial idea, and I said I thought I remember you folk saying...
