I have only played a few rounds this year so far. I shot a 94 at Upchurch and 89 at Austin Lodge. Got a square 100 at West Malling (Spitfire) yesterday though. Was ice cold and hard work! The greens were covered in chunks of ice that sent putts all over the place!

Played the Spitfire course at West Malling yesterday. Didn't really rate it at all. Hole 14 (I think) was an absolute joke - the one with the steep slope in front of the high raised green. The 17th was a poor hole as well - such little room for error. I think I prefer the Hurricane course...

Played Austin Lodge on Saturday in a ten man society group. Shot 89 on a handicap of 22 and got 39 stableford points. Won both lowest score and highest stableford! :)

I just got the Taylormade CGB Supermax irons!

They gave me £50 store credit, which is what I paid for the club. So I got a new trolly. I'd already replaced the driver with the authentic model. They didn't do it on purpose and were fine about sorting it out, so I am fine with the outcome. I have a shiny new trolley and a full set of...

Leeds Castle is a good nine hole course. Hever Castle is a nice course.

I haven't purchased anything from them, but they appear to be very professional and thorough in what they do and I wouldn't hesitate in buying from them if someone caught my eye. Their prices tend to be higher than ebay, but at least they exclude counterfeit clubs!

American Golf just called. Taylormade have confirmed the club as counterfeit. I am going to be given store credit for the club in return. I am happy enough with that.

Pay and play is the way to go. Too many courses charge £40-£50 for a round and it is too much for the average golfer to pay. Weald of Kent have a great 241 voucher scheme that keeps tee times getting booked that may not otherwise.

Option 4 sounds good to me. Taylormade would be my first port of call. Had three or four of their drivers and like them all.

Been looking to play a couple of those.

I have been told that the owner/manager's wife is unwell and the staff haven't looked after it so well in his absence. Could be nonsense of course.

My grandad was a member at Bearsted for 20 years or so. But I wasn't into golf as a kid, and so never played there.

And the rough at The Ridge is savage!

That is a very nice offer. Thankyou. I play off 22 at the moment and am finding it hard to reduce. My best scores are 89 at Poult Wood and Upchurch. Usually shoot between 90 and 97. Struggling to get it down lower!
